Greensand has opened the EU’s first full-scale carbon-storage chain, moving liquefied CO₂ from Danish biomethane plants to a depleted North Sea oilfield. Its initial capacity is up to 400,000 tonnes a year, but that is capacity, not verified annual storage already achieved.

A fed appeals court on Tues said:⚡Trump admin🚨improperly terminated $Bs in funds to boost #CleanEnergy projects, handing a win to a coalition of nonprofits picked to run the Biden-era effort.
Climate United Fund & other nonprofits won’t have access to their funds immed as the dec will be put on hold for sev days giving the #EPA time to ask #SCOTUS (⁉️) to step in.
Judgement:⚡a loss for the Trump admin in one of its earliest efforts to dismantle Biden’s...

The European Union should push stronger for building more data centers and clean energy. Data centers require a lot of energy which could be provided from clean energy sources.
For this, Iceland could become Europe's digital infrastructure capital as it has strong privacy laws, established ecosystem, vast sources of clean energy.

A silver-exchanged zeolite separated three hydrogen isotopes and showed 244-fold selectivity for tritium over ordinary hydrogen at liquid-nitrogen temperature. The laboratory result could support more efficient fusion-fuel recycling, but capacity, radiation resistance, repeated operation and reactor-scale economics remain unproved.

When the #Trump admin canceled >$7.5B in #Biden-era federal #grants for #CleanEnergy projects in October, it framed the move as an urgent corrective to protect taxpayer funds from waste.
But it wasn’t true.
In little-noticed #court documents [linked], federal officials acknowledged this month that they had terminated the #funding “based solely” on political criteria, targeting projects in #states that were represented by #Democrats & had voted for #KamalaHarris in 2024

MIT scientist created a new type of solar panel that is transparent. It picks up only infrared and ultraviolet light. These can be used on windows or any clear pane (like cell phone screens) as well as flexible surfaces.
“They estimate that using coated windows in a skyscraper could provide more than a quarter of the building’s energy needs without changing its look.”
The strait of #Hormuz is closed again. Meanwhile...
"The #TrumpAdministration’s rollback of #CleanEnergy energy policies has now cost the US nearly 470,000 jobs and $68 billion in private investment, according to a new report released today."
The Iran war has pushed some countries away from oil and toward clean energy
Instead, countries across Asia and Africa are speeding up the adoption of solar, batteries and electric vehicles in a deliberate strategy to decrease their dependence on imported natural gas and oil.
