A breakthrough in sustainable industrial technology has been achieved in Namibia, where a multi-country collaboration has successfully demonstrated hydrogen-based iron-ore-to-green-steel production. The development marks a significant step toward decarbonizing the steel industry, one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions. The project involves international partners working together to replace traditional coal-based processes with hydrogen, enabling the production of steel with significantly lower environmental impact. By using green hydrogen, the process eliminates the nee
India has emerged as the world’s largest hub for green hydrogen production, marking a significant milestone in its clean energy transition. The development aligns with the country’s broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy solutions. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, is considered a key component in achieving net-zero emission targets. India’s rapid expansion in this sector is driven by strong policy support, increasing investments, and abundant renewable energy resources. The government has introduced
The government of Ontario has announced the development of 14 new renewable energy projects as part of its strategy to provide clean and affordable electricity. The initiative aims to expand the province’s energy capacity while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The projects include a mix of wind, solar, and battery storage systems designed to ensure a reliable and sustainable power supply. Officials stated that these developments will play a vital role in meeting growing electricity demand while supporting environmental goals. The move is also expected to generate economic benefits
India has crossed a major milestone in its clean energy journey, with solar power capacity surpassing 150 gigawatts (GW). The achievement comes amid a record expansion of renewable energy installations during the financial year ending March 2026. The surge has been driven largely by solar energy, which accounted for the majority of new renewable capacity additions. India added over 44 GW of solar capacity in a single year, reflecting rapid growth in both large-scale and rooftop solar installations. With this expansion, India’s total renewable energy capacity has reached over 220 GW, p
The United Kingdom has approved its largest-ever solar farm as part of an accelerated push toward clean energy and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. The project, known as the Springwell solar farm in Lincolnshire, is expected to generate enough electricity to power around 180,000 homes annually. The approval comes amid record-breaking solar energy generation in the country, with output surpassing previous highs on consecutive days. The development reflects the government’s broader strategy to transition to low-carbon energy sources and achieve a near carbon-free electricity grid by 203
President Droupadi Murmu is set to inaugurate a tribal museum in Rourkela, Odisha, aimed at preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of India’s tribal communities.
