Vermont, which boasted the third-cleanest grid, according to the data, sourced over half its energy from hydropower and 19 percent from wind in 2022. Legislators recently passed a law that requires the state’s utilities to reach 100 percent renewable electricity by 2035. The state with the dirtiest grid, Delaware, still relies heavily on fossil gas and gets only a fraction of its power from wind...

Worcester Bosch has agreed to alter its marketing practices, after claiming its boilers were “hydrogen-blend ready” despite most on the market being hydrogen-capable.The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation in October (2023). Now, it has secured formal commitments from Worcester Bosch to take steps to ensure it doesn’t mislead customers on the environmental...
Reduce, reuse, responsibility.The Paris 2024 Olympics is nearly over, and aside from being a spectacular and exciting Summer Games so far, France’s capital has successfully hosted the most sustainable Olympics to date. It’s achieved this goal largely by reducing its carbon footprint, including lowering the use of resources, reusing existing infrastructure, and powering all venues with renewable...
The history of a homegrown solar giant Founded by Richard Swanson in Silicon Valley in 1985, SunPower first distinguished itself with world-record solar cell performance — a technical edge that Maxeon maintains today. When the firm faced financial problems in 2001, Rodgers, a Silicon Valley semiconductor legend and former classmate of Swanson’s, rescued the company with a check for $750,000. It...
Photo: Yuldong-With-U The Yuldong-With-U complex in Ulsan, South Korea, has achieved a significant milestone as the world’s first apartment block to derive all its heat and power from hydrogen fuel cells. The complex accommodates 437 households and features multiple fuel cell generators supplied with hydrogen from a nearby refinery via a pipeline. Three container-sized fuel cells installed on the...
Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, conducted experiments proving that electric current could be produced from an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen over a platinum catalyst. Yet, fuel cells never really took off as a...
Tree Energy Solutions (TES) and Saibu Gas will promote using electric natural gas from green hydrogen (e-NG) as a clean energy source across Japan.Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two companies have agreed to explore opportunities including a long-term e-NG offtake contract by Saibu gas from TES production projects.Under this contract, CO2 is captured and combined with green hydrogen to...
The Future of Car Explosions with Electric and Hydrogen VehiclesCar chase scenes are a Hollywood blockbuster staple. We’re all familiar with high-speed pursuits culminating in spectacular explosions, with cars flying through the air and fires blazing from fuel tanks. These thrilling actions keep us on the edge of our seats, but how much of this is grounded in reality? More importantly, with the rise of...
