Brent rose 22 cents, or 0.4%, to $63.54 a barrel , WTI was at $59.71 a barrel, up 22 cents, or 0.4%.

Eco‑preneurship is more than a buzzword. It’s a practical, values-driven way to build businesses that serve both the environment and your bottom line. For aspiring founders, the path can feel inspiring—but also overwhelming.

The global electricity system is undergoing a major transformation, shifting from a traditional, centralized model to a more digital, decentralized one.

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) have been positioned as solutions for more than a decade, but the real challenge has always been scale. A thousand rooftop solar arrays or community batteries don’t naturally operate like a single 500-MW power plant. To function reliably, they need coordination that is far more sophisticated than simple scheduling.

The administration said in May it was reviewing some $15 billion in projects awarded under President Joe Biden.

"The bill aims to comprehensively address the production of energy from sustainable nuclear and fusion sources, incorporating it into the Italian energy mix to achieve energy independence and decarbonisation goals," the Council of Ministers said.

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced a $625 million investment to expand and reinvigorate America’s coal industry, aiming to boost energy production and support coal communities nationwide.

The world’s leading banks spent just 89 cents on low-carbon energy companies and projects such as wind, solar and grids for every dollar they allocated to fossil fuels.

Germany risks falling behind on its shift to cleaner energy amid counterproductive regulations and “vague” political pledges

Poland is in the process of thrashing out its 2040 energy policy, with progress delayed by government infighting. There are two scenarios on the table: one where coal almost completely disappears from the energy mix by 2040 and a “business as usual” scenario, where the dirty fuel retains a role.

India’s evolving taxonomy should clearly define “resilient” activities, such as renewable-powered cold chains or flood-proof housing, to guide investors and policymakers.

With rising power demand driven largely by the explosive growth in data center development and AI workloads, officials across the Energy Department, the White House and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission made urgent calls for grid modernization, faster permitting and better cost allocation mechanisms.

Global primary energy demand is set to rise from 308 million barrels of oil equivalent (mboe/d) in 2024 to 378 mboe/d in 2050.

Since 2019 China’s energy system seems to be undergoing significant shifts.

Governments worldwide are recognising the economic and strategic benefits of controlling supply chains for low-carbon technologies. Specifically, China’s dominance in solar PV module production (almost 85% of global production as of 2023) (Statista, 2024a) and battery manufacturing (79% of global EV Li-ion batteries as of 2021) (Statista, 2024b) has spurred rival policies.
