A groundbreaking energy storage innovation using molten salt is reshaping how renewable energy is stored and delivered. Developed by Danish firm Hyme Energy in collaboration with Swiss engineering company Sulzer Ltd, the system captures excess power from solar and wind sources by converting it into heat, which is then stored in molten hydroxide salt at

Kuwait is preparing to sign an agreement with China in mid-October to build the North Kabd wastewater treatment plant, which will become the country’s largest facility of its kind. The plant is expected to treat up to 1 million cubic meters of wastewater daily using advanced technologies, addressing Kuwait’s ongoing challenges in wastewater management. Currently,

Across the Philippines, coastal communities are embracing the quiet power of nature to fight back against climate shocks. Blue carbon ecosystems—like mangroves, seagrass beds, and tidal marshes—are proving to be natural shields against rising seas, fierce storms, and coastal erosion. These unique habitats don’t just protect lives; they also store massive amounts of carbon—up to

In a major policy shift, India has relaxed its sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emission rules for coal-fired power plants, effectively rolling back key provisions of a decade-old clean-air mandate introduced in 2015. The original regulation required all thermal power plants to install flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems—technology used to reduce SO₂ emissions linked to respiratory diseases and

In a striking reflection of the escalating climate crisis, nearly one-third of the population of Tuvalu, a low-lying Pacific Island nation, has applied for Australia’s new climate change visa program, known as the Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV). Launched in 2024, the PEV offers up to 3,000 permanent residency spots each year to citizens from select

According to a May 2025 report by the Environmental Defence Canada, mining claims in Ontario’s ecologically sensitive Ring of Fire region have skyrocketed by 66% over the past three years, reaching nearly 30,000 active claims. Located in the mineral-rich James Bay Lowlands, this remote area is home to vast deposits of chromite, nickel, copper, and

Rice cultivation is a critical global food source, but it’s also a major contributor to methane emissions, accounting for approximately 8% of agriculture-related greenhouse gases. Innovative techniques are emerging that can reduce this impact significantly. One of the most promising methods is Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), which alternates between flooding and drying the rice

3D printing technology is transforming the construction industry by offering a more affordable, efficient, and sustainable approach to building homes. In Leamington, Ontario, Canada, a project led by Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex, the University of Windsor, Invest Windsor-Essex, and Nidus3D is constructing the country’s first 3D-printed multi-unit homes. Funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing

A recent study has revealed that the slowing of Earth’s rotation over billions of years may have played a key role in the rise of oxygen in the planet’s early atmosphere. Around 2.4 billion years ago, Earth’s day was much shorter, and as the planet’s rotation gradually slowed, the lengthening of days allowed for extended
