Kairos Power broke ground on the first advanced nuclear reactor plant in the U.S. in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It will be operational in 2030. Google runs two data centers in the area. Google signed a development agreement with Kairos for 500 MW from multiple advanced reactors.
A Chinese shipyard has designed a floating, nuclear-powered logistics hub that acts as a container terminal, power station, and green-fuel factory far out at sea. The concept was unveiled at the Posidonia exhibition in Athens. Decarbonisation needs rapid emission cuts, and tweaks will hardly cut it. There is no international rulebook for this innovative concept. Port states and the IMO should designate sovereign-neutral sandboxes in deepwater zones.
Thomas Andrade sells valuable parts of a car to a salvage yard, but he makes no money. He's happy with that, because he's selling valuable minerals. Recycling battery minerals reduces the climate footprint of new vehicle production and eases U.S. reliance on China for those critical minerals. General Motors has a lot of materials that it recycles, including batteries.
Kanadevia has announced a partnership agreement with Bahwan Engineering Company (BEC) to support the development of green hydrogen and related low-carbon fuel projects in Oman. BEC is an Omani engineering firm engaged in executing integrated, multi-disciplinary construction projects. Kanadevia is currently constructing a mass production facility for water electrolysis stacks in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan. The company will also invest in a hydrogen fund and pursue various strategies as it seeks to expand its presence in the hydrogen market.
Baltic Power is a 1.1GW offshore wind development co-owned by Northland Power and ORLEN. The wind farm is located 23km off the coast near Choczewo and Łeba in the Baltic Sea. The installation currently has 54 turbines set in place, with commissioning and installation activities ongoing. Full commissioning is targeted for the second half of 2026. The project aims to supply 3% of Poland’s current electricity demand and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 2.8 million tonnes a year.
Aditya Birla Renewables Ltd. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% equity shares and securities of Solenergi Power from Shell Overseas Investment BV. The transaction is valued at around $1.8 billion. The acquisition will add a renewable energy portfolio of around 5 GWp, comprising 3.3 GWp of operational capacity and 1.7 GWp under construction. It is expected to be completed before the end of calendar year 2026.
It's too hot to cool the fuel rods at three nuclear reactors in France. Eight more reactors were shut down on Sunday. France is experiencing its third heat wave in two months. France gets 70 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. It has 57 nuclear reactors that produce around 70% of the electricity.
The biggest risk to passenger safety these days is not technical defects in the aircraft, but lithium-ion batteries brought along by passengers. The transport of batteries in checked baggage has been strictly prohibited since 2016. ICAO tightened the rules for passengers worldwide, including in Germany, for devices brought into the cabin.
There is a data center boom in the U.S. Lawmakers and property owners are concerned about the impact of new data centers on the cost of homeownership. Opponents argue that they don't bring economic development and don't invest in the infrastructure that benefits the community as a whole.
