Geothermal Energy: Tapping the Earth’s Heat for the Next Power Boom
Beneath the Earth’s surface lies a source of clean, continuous energy that has been commercially exploited for over a century but has never scaled to the significance of solar, wind, or nuclear power. That may be changing. Technology borrowed directly from the oil and gas industry — horizontal drilling and hydraulic stimulation — is unlocking…
HiTHIUM’s New Factory and Its Pending Hong Kong IPO Bid
Shandong HiTHIUM announced in a press release on August 8 that it held a production rollout ceremony the previous day for what the company describes as the world’s first integrated industrial park built specifically for long-duration energy storage (LDES), located in Heze, Shandong Province, China. The claim of being a world’s first comes from HiTHIUM…
How Landis+Gyr Is Tackling Real-Time Grid Complexity
Landis+Gyr Group AG (SIX: LAND) announced in a press release on August 10 that it has added two new partners, Future Grid and Operational Technology Solutions (OTS), to its Edge Application Ecosystem in Australia. The addition matters because of what’s driving it: a growing number of homes with rooftop solar panels and battery storage, collectively…
Fusion Energy: How Close Is the Technology That Could Power Everything
Nuclear fusion has been described as perpetually thirty years away for so long that the phrase has become a cliché of energy technology skepticism. Something has genuinely changed in the past few years. Private fusion companies have raised billions of dollars, achieved experimental milestones that eluded researchers for decades, and set commercial timelines that —…
Green Hydrogen: The Versatile Molecule Betting to Decarbonize Heavy Industry
Electricity can decarbonize most of the economy, but not all of it. Steelmaking, long-haul shipping, aviation, and chemical manufacturing all depend on processes that cannot be easily electrified with current technology. Green hydrogen — produced by splitting water using renewable electricity — has emerged as the leading candidate to decarbonize these hard-to-abate sectors. The technology…
The Smart Grid: How Next-Generation Energy Infrastructure Is Being Built
The electricity grid is one of the largest and most complex machines humanity has ever built. It was designed in the twentieth century to move power in one direction — from large, centralized power plants to passive consumers. The energy transition is breaking this model. Millions of solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, and controllable loads…
Energy Storage: The Missing Link in the Clean Power Revolution
Every serious conversation about a clean electricity system eventually arrives at the same constraint: storage. The sun does not generate electricity at night. The wind does not blow on demand. Hydropower depends on water availability. The intermittency of renewable energy sources is not a minor engineering inconvenience — it is the fundamental challenge that determines…
