Europe just opened major funding for industrial decarbonization—clean hydrogen, net zero manufacturing, carbon capture.
Carbon removal is scaling too: 268,000 tonnes contracted in November across biochar, direct air capture, and biomass. Real projects, real revenue.

Welcome This week feels like work and wonder at once. Night comes early in the north and the Geminids begin to stitch bright threads across the cold sky. Far south, heat lifts and cicadas test their summer chorus. In that split screen of seasons, our stories settle on two steady

Why is Greenpeace East Asia releasing an #AI report that doesn't include a single company based in East Asia?
It also does not include an single social factor, only ranking on energy, which seems to go against @… own core on centering communities when campaig…

South Korea sets 3.5 million heat pump target in national decarbonization push
The South Korean government says it will deploy incentives, legal changes and industry backing to scale heat pump adoption nationwide, aiming to cut emissions from fossil fuel–dependent heating by the mid-2030s.

The solar revolution just got real. Perovskite-silicon tandem cells are hitting utility-scale efficiency levels and heading for mass production—potentially transforming how we generate power.
No wonder oil execs are nervous. This breakthrough tech could dramatically accelerate global decarbonization.

Perovskite-Silicon Solar Cells Are Heading For The Mass Market
New, durable tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells can surpass plain silicon on conversion efficiency, pushing down the cost of solar power.

The EU just opened the funding floodgates for clean energy innovation.
The European Commission launched €5.2bn in new funding opportunities targeting net-zero tech, low-carbon hydrogen, and industrial decarbonization. The goal: hit 2030 climate targets while keeping European industry competitive and resilient on the path to climate neutrality by 2050.

European Commission launches $6.06bn clean transition funding opportunities
The European Commission (EC) has launched three new funding opportunities under the Innovation Fund, backed by €5.2bn ($6.06bn) sourced from EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) revenues focusing on net-zero technologies, low-carbon hydrogen, and decarbonising industrial process heat.

Uruguay just proved the skeptics wrong. In only two years, the country shifted to 98% renewable electricity—and poverty rates dropped as a result.
This wasn't some slow, painful transition. It was rapid, economically beneficial, and shows that decarbonization doesn't have to hurt. The economic case for clean energy is real, and we need to stop being afraid to make it.
