Big changes are coming—new renewable energy laws are lighting the way for a greener energy future with visionary renewable energy legislation that sparks green investments, accelerates sustainable transitions, and paves the way toward a net-zero, climate-resilient world. The European Commission proposes the “Clean Industrial Deal” to enhance EU industries’

Agrivoltaics, the exciting fusion of farming and solar power, is growing rapidly around the world, with several remarkable projects just waiting to be explored. Here are a few of them. * Rockport, Maine: A 10-acre agrivoltaic farm integrates blueberry cultivation with a 4.2 MW solar installation, studied by the University

In Europe, the WEEE Directive requires 80% of PV panel materials to be recycled, but challenges include fragmented regulations and impure recyclates. A European study found that uncoordinated legislation and weak industry collaboration hinder effective solar panel recycling. In Europe, companies like ROSI are using pyrolysis to recover high-purity silicon,

As solar energy adoption grows, managing the lifecycle of photovoltaic panels, especially their end-of-life phase, has become a critical issue. In the U.S., around 90% of decommissioned solar panels end up in landfills as of 2023, highlighting the need for better recycling solutions. The lack of federal recycling mandates

Being in its early stages, green hydrogen, is gaining attention as a sustainable fuel alternative. As we already welcomed 2025, there is growing interest in whether the technology will reach widespread commercial adoption. With continued investment and technological advancements, it could play a key role in the future of renewable

Enhanced Geothermal Systems are gaining traction in Eastern Europe, offering the potential to harness geothermal energy in regions previously considered unsuitable. By creating artificial reservoirs in hot, dry rock formations, EGS technology enables the extraction of geothermal energy beyond traditional hotspots. Romania- Oradea, in partnership with Icelandic Geothermal Engineering, is
