Telecom giant NTT Group’s energy subsidiary, NTT Anode Energy, has officially launched its energy storage business by commissioning 3 high-voltage grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in Japan. Together, these installations provide 15.3 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity. This development is key for Japan. It helps bring more renewable energy, like wind and solar, […]
In a major step toward scaling soil-based carbon removal, Microsoft has purchased 60,000 soil carbon credits from Indigo Ag. The credits come from Indigo’s fourth and largest carbon crop, officially issued in April by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR). This latest transaction follows Microsoft’s initial 40,000-credit purchase last June, strengthening its long-term commitment to high-integrity […]
A new partnership between carbon standards body Verra and blockchain technology platform Hedera Guardian sets the stage for a more transparent and scalable future for global carbon markets. The collaboration seeks to update how carbon credit projects are managed, monitored, and verified. This will make the process quicker, easier, and more aligned with environmental goals. […]
Solar power truly stole the spotlight last year. It helped push clean energy to a record-breaking milestone—supplying over 40% of the world’s electricity for the first time. As global demand soared, driven by extreme heat, solar stepped up as the fastest-growing energy source. Let’s study what top research reveals about this newly set solar record. […]
The energy transition is accelerating, and battery storage is at the center of the shift. With more solar and wind energy on national grids, storing power is key. The world needs to save energy during peak production and release it when demand is high. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are at the forefront: they are […]
President Donald Trump has signed a set of executive orders aimed at reviving and reshaping the U.S. nuclear energy industry. The orders, signed on May 23, 2025, are designed to speed up reactor development, reduce regulatory hurdles, boost domestic uranium production, and overhaul the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). These actions occur as global competition […]
In a major step toward global energy transition, AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a green energy supply chain linking India and Northwestern Europe. The collaboration will use the Port of Rotterdam — Europe’s largest energy port and a key entry point for hydrogen […]
South Korea is on track for a major clean energy milestone. Solar power is expected to become cheaper than nuclear energy between 2030 and 2035. Rapid improvements in solar panel efficiency and lower installation costs are driving this change. By 2035, solar is projected to lead the nation’s power generation. This shift supports a national […]
One of the industries that faces high pressure to reduce carbon emissions is construction. The materials at the heart of construction—concrete and steel—are essential but carbon-intensive. Together, they contribute to approximately 13% of global CO₂ emissions. In response, Carbon Direct and Microsoft have launched a unique guide. It’s called Criteria for High-Quality Environmental Attribute Certificates […]
