Munich-based Proxima Fusion, RWE, Bavaria, and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics have agreed on a two-stage, multibillion-euro roadmap to build a demonstration stellarator and a grid-connected commercial fusion plant at the decommissioned Gundremmingen reactor site.
Peak Energy and RWE Americas have deployed the first sodium-ion battery system on the MISO grid in Wisconsin, marking a milestone for the cheaper, cobalt-free chemistry in the US.
BYD has launched its second-generation Blade Battery and a 1,500 kW FLASH Charging network that can take a compatible EV from 10 to 97 percent in nine minutes, with plans to deploy 20,000 stations across China by year-end and begin overseas rollout.
GEL's United Downs facility drills 5km into granite to generate 3MW of constant power and extract battery-grade lithium — a UK first after two decades of development.
A 300 MW Form Energy iron-air battery paired with 1.6 GW of wind and solar will power Google's new Pine Island data center, marking the largest energy storage project ever announced by capacity.
CATL and BYD are mass-producing sodium-ion batteries for EVs and grid storage in 2026, driven by soaring lithium prices and abundant raw materials, while the West struggles to keep pace.
Helion, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and China's EAST reactor have each cleared critical technical barriers in early 2026, collectively marking the most concentrated period of fusion progress in the industry's history.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects developers will add 86 gigawatts of utility-scale generating capacity this year — nearly double 2025's total — with solar and battery storage accounting for nearly four-fifths of new installations.
Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy has shut down new investments from its Catalyst project-finance fund, compounding pressure on climate startups already losing federal support under the Trump administration.
Two 15-megawatt units at a Guizhou steel plant mark the first commercial deployment of a power cycle concept proposed in 1948, claiming 50% higher efficiency than steam.
A new class of high-entropy boride magnets made from earth-abundant metals achieves magnetic properties approaching rare-earth levels, offering a potential path to breaking dependence on Chinese-controlled supply chains for EVs, wind turbines, and electronics.
