"A more decentralized energy system, with a growing share of renewables and more market players, is structurally more resilient. Countries that invested in the energy transition are weathering this crisis with less economic damage, as they boost energy security, resilience and competitiveness."

U.S. soybean farmers needed a win to boost domestic markets this year, and President Trump, Administrator Zeldin, and Secretary Rollins delivered in a big way. ASA is grateful for the tireless efforts of EPA and USDA to ensure the soy biofuel value chain could benefit from the strongest RVOs ever finalized.

The escalation of the US-Israel war with Iran has triggered a 'huge jolt' in consumer behaviour, with demand also rising for heat pumps, electric vehicles and home charging systems.

"For the first time ever, we are able to capture farmers' valuable waste and turn it into cash... so join us, MoFarm, in turning emissions into earnings, and farts into fuel."

Octopus Zero Bills is the next generation energy tariff with zero energy bills for the home, for 10 years, guaranteed. This represents a fundamental shift in how energy is consumed.

We are making sure that we have renewable energy powering all of our datacentre footprint. We have 100% renewable power today that is powering all of Azure, and we're very proud to build that base and essentially stimulate renewable energy around the world and in the UK.

None of the contracts are financially viable anymore because of tariffs. For a renewable project to get built, it has to be in the black a little bit. It can't be in the red. You just can't get a loan for that, and so the projects remain unbuilt.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has already led to hundreds of deaths, created an ecological crisis linked to strikes on oil depots and sent fossil fuel prices haywire across the globe. Critics say the war also shows the inherent instability of dependence on oil and gas: unlike wind and solar power, fossil fuel-based energy requires constant inputs of products whose availability and costs are determined by the global market.

This project represents one of the UK's first commercial-scale low-carbon hydrogen production plants. The facility will produce around 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually using electrolysis, a process that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity generated from renewable sources, primarily wind energy.

Reaching net zero would cost about 4bn a year, the CCC found, or close to 100bn by 2050, which was roughly equivalent to the energy-related costs of the fossil fuel shocks that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The findings contradict widespread claims made by rightwing thinktanks and populist politicians including the Reform party that net zero would represent a crippling cost of 9tn to the UK's economy.

Nscale has now raised over $4.5 billion across equity rounds in less than six months. The capital funds Nscale's vertically integrated AI infrastructure, consisting of GPU compute, networking, data services, and orchestration software, with expansion planned across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Doubling down on renewables is, yes, right for climate change, it's, yes, right for jobs, it is also essential because we keep on seeing these lived examples of how instability, through regional instability, is creeping into our energy prices, for which the British Government has no agency.

The site will eventually comprise five HPE Mod Pods, which are modular datacentre pods capable of delivering 1.5mW of datacentre capability, and will be powered by electricity generated from landfill gas at the site. The Derbyshire site will go live in the second half of 2026, according to Carbon3.ai chief strategy officer Sana Kharegani.

While the previous law required most newly installed heating systems to use at least 65% renewable energy, often with a heat pump, the reformed legislation will allow households to keep using oil and gas. It also removes a mandate for expert consultation when installing a new heating system.

I've always thought it would be good to acquire an old warehouse in every town throughout the land and convert it into low-rent community workspaces for artists, local charities and small businesses getting off the ground. A kind of people's WeWork. What would others do with a humungous, but not unlimited, pile of dosh to benefit society? Roland Freeman, West Yorkshire Send new questions to nq@theguardian.com.
