Nuclear power is forecast to be the cheapest baseload electricity source in Japan in 2040, highlighting the government’s desire to restart the nation’s idled reactors. The cost of constructing and operating a new nuclear power plant for 2040 is estimated at 12.5 yen ($0.08) per kilowatt-hour, according to documents released from a trade ministry panel meeting on...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an investment of $17 million across 14 projects that will accelerate critical materials innovation while promoting safe, sustainable, economic, and efficient solutions to meet current and future supply chain needs. The projects, which span 11 states, are strengthening and streamlining manufacturing for high-impact components and technologies such...
The court’s ruling reverses an effort by the Trump administration to overhaul regulation of biotechnology products with the goal of streamlining the review process to accelerate innovation in agriculture. The changes meant that genetically modified crops would be subject to regulation if they’re deemed to be “noxious weeds,” which is determined based on traits from...
Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, is the first in its industry to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This commitment aligns the company with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target and underscores its determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through science-based methods. The construction industry is responsible for approximately 37% of global greenhouse gas...
As New York scrambles to transition away from burning fossil fuels, nuclear energy is in the spotlight. Last month, officials with the state energy authority, NYSERDA, announced the agency had begun gauging interest from companies who may want to develop nuclear power plants in New York. Weeks earlier, Governor Kathy Hochul noted that new nuclear...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.K.’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), and the private fusion company Tokamak Energy Ltd. (TE) today announced a plan to jointly sponsor a $52 million upgrade to the ST40 experimental fusion facility to advance fusion science and technology needed to deliver a future fusion pilot plant. Fusion...
For all the heated rhetoric about America's energy future, the real story isn't on cable news. It's written in investment portfolios, corporate strategies, and technological breakthroughs transforming how we power our nation.
We all know Texas is the energy capital of America, and we know that our ability to lead the country in so many types of energy production — oil, natural gas, wind, solar, battery storage and soon geothermal — is often in spite of federal regulations that are designed to delay and obstruct. Thankfully, the incoming Trump...
As a leader in the tech industry, I’ve witnessed firsthand how sustainable technology is reshaping industries. What began as a passion for innovation has evolved into a mission to leverage cutting-edge solutions for data center management and AI computing, with a strong emphasis on minimizing wasted energy. My entrepreneurial journey has been deeply rooted in...
An innovative method for recovering rare earth elements (REEs) from mine waste promises to address pressing environmental challenges while meeting the growing demand for materials critical to the electronics industry. Researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) have unveiled a process that extracts lanthanum, a high-demand REE, from contaminated mine tailings. The method utilizes industrial adsorbents to purify...
