As commercial buildings face pressure to reduce energy costs and manage heating and cooling demand, researchers are examining new ways to store thermal energy without the performance losses …
China resumed sulfuric acid exports to Chile in September. Chile supplies most US refined copper imports, giving US buyers indirect exposure.
Phinergy advances aluminum-air backup power for data centers. A successful module test sets the stage for larger trials, but commercial hurdles remain.
NeoVolta opens its Georgia battery plant as production testing continues. The facility targets utility-scale storage with plans for future expansion.
A Western cathode producer says Arianne's pilot acid meets its indicative specifications, though no purity data, buyer name or supply deal has been disclosed.
ABTC can export up to $100 million in recycled black mass. The move highlights a growing gap between U.S. battery recycling and refining capacity.
U.S. manufacturing growth is driving hazardous waste demand. A new study estimates billions in economic losses if treatment capacity fails to keep pace.
More than £7bn is committed to UK batteries, but serious supply-chain gaps persist. Refining, factory delays and 2035 demand could test the sector’s next phase.
EnerVenue is scaling battery production in China. Its 30-year nickel-hydrogen technology promises lower lifetime costs, but commercial performance remains unproven.
Peru targets more than $7 billion in 2026 mining investment, but new permits alone do not guarantee the spending or construction that follows them.
Green steel is emerging, but buyers and producers are often far apart. RMI’s book-and-claim model could connect demand with cleaner production without delivery.
Amazon is testing lower-carbon aluminum in Ohio data center cabling. The project could gauge whether cleaner materials can scale across hyperscale construction.
A utility line strike can trigger far more than repair costs. CGA estimates underground utility damage costs the U.S. economy $83.2 billion per year nationwide.
AI workloads are pushing rack power to new extremes. That shift is making 800V DC a bigger part of data center design, cost and infrastructure planning.
R3 Lithium has started operations at its Covington, Georgia, recycling plant. The site will now recover lithium carbonate from used batteries and scrap locally.
White Pine Copper's pre-feasibility study outlines a $905.5 million Michigan mine project. Permits, financing and a 2027 investment decision remain ahead.
Noria Energy is bringing single-axis tracking to floating solar with Airon. The system aims to deliver more output from the same project footprint on the water.
Peabody moved Wyoming coal to Vietnam through Mexico's Port of Guaymas, testing a Pacific export route that still lacks disclosed costs or contracts.
Researchers are testing a process that turns arsenic mine waste into high-purity metal. It could limit cleanup risks while creating a fresh source for industry.
Electric vessels can arrive before ports are ready to power them. Tidal Transit is testing mobile battery storage to close that charging gap as local grids lag.
