As part of Singapore’s efforts to build a more sustainable future, the public sector is aiming to cut the waste disposed of by each person by 30 per cent and reduce the sector’s overall energy and water use by 10 per cent by 2030.

How would the grid infrastructure cope with the pressing challenges of decarbonization, reliability and cost-affordability? Could we keep the lights on while keeping our planet healthy? The answer to these questions largely lies in building a resilient energy “superhighway,” an electric grid that delivers a wide portfolio of energy supplies to the end users in a reliable manner.

Singapore unveiled on Wednesday one of the world's largest floating solar panel farms, spanning an area equivalent to 45 football fields and producing enough electricity to power the island's five water treatment plants.

The world's largest renewables project has been proposed in Western Australia (WA), covering an area half the size of Belgium. The Western Green Energy Hub would include as much as 50 gigawatts of wind and solar over more than 15,000 square kilometres, according to the international group that is planning the project.

G20 finance leaders recognized carbon pricing as a potential tool to address climate change for the first time in an official communique on Saturday, taking a tentative step towards promoting the idea and coordinating carbon reduction policies.

Energy giant AGL is preparing to mothball one of four units at South Australia’s biggest gas-fired power station as the influx of large-scale renewable energy and rooftop solar power continues to price fossil fuels out of the market.

The Orano Group is joining forces with recognized partners in the field – Paprec, MTB Manufacturing, Saft and CEA – to test an innovative process for recycling the metals contained in electric vehicle batteries. Known as RECYVABAT (Recycling and Recovery of Batteries), the project is aligned with the concept of the circular economy, giving a second life to recoverable battery materials.

Power loss is a major concern for the power sector in India. According to the Economic Survey for 2020-21, transmission and distribution (T&D) losses in the Indian power sector are higher than other countries, which means electricity is generated but is not reaching the consumers. Jaipur-based Gram Power is looking to solve this problem by digitising the power distribution infrastructure in India.

As a new administration in Washington, D.C., drives a renewed interest in green hydrogen, and states like California research and invest in enabling technologies, experts say that Europe's experience could offer valuable lessons. Experts see multiple ways in which green hydrogen — produced by powering an electrolyzer with renewable energy — could help drive the clean energy transition.

Thailand’s Energy Absolute Pcl is shifting its electric-vehicle strategy away from passenger cars to focus on buses, trucks and trains to capitalize on growing demand as the country phases out combustion engines. The Bangkok-based firm plans its first shipment of 120 buses this month to a company that operates several routes in the Thai capital, according to Deputy Chief Executive Officer Amorn Sapthaweekul.

Low-carbon hydropower capacity is vital for a faster integration of wind and solar power, but its growth is set to slow by 23% this decade without a sweeping policy and investment push, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said. "Hydropower is the forgotten giant of clean electricity, and it needs to be put squarely back on the energy and climate agenda if countries are serious about meeting their net zero goals," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol in a statement.

Even with a pandemic and semiconductor chip shortage, the electric vehicles keep coming. And not just luxury cars. Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia are all releasing EVs. Also coming soon: the first generation of electric pickup trucks. And that doesn't even cover everything. Here are the biggest EV unveilings of 2021.
