article MIT Engineers Develop Recyclable Elastic Yarn as Alternative to Spandex Blends
August 5th, 2026 • MIT engineers have developed a polyethylene-based elastic yarn designed to match the strength and stretch of conventional spandex blends while remaining mechanically recyclable. Laboratory tests showed that the material could be melted and respun repeatedly without a significant loss of strength, although commercial adoption will depend on manufacturing trials, collection systems, and textile recycling infrastructure.
article Methane Leaks and Gas Flaring Expose Persistent Gaps in Oil and Gas Emissions Control
August 4th, 2026 • Oil and gas operations continue to release large quantities of methane through equipment leaks, deliberate venting and the incomplete combustion of natural gas. New satellite observations and international assessments show that better monitoring is making emissions increasingly visible, but regulatory enforcement and corrective action are not keeping pace.
article Sustainability Reporting Set to Grow as Standards Become More Aligned
August 4th, 2026 • Companies are unlikely to disclose less sustainability information despite regulatory delays, reporting fatigue and efforts to simplify corporate requirements, according to Global Reporting Initiative chief executive Robin Hodess. She expects greater alignment between reporting standards, while artificial intelligence increases pressure on companies to produce reliable and decision-useful data.
article Walmart Reaches 53.3% Renewable Electricity as Operational Emissions Fall
August 3rd, 2026 • Walmart sourced 53.3% of its global electricity from renewable energy in fiscal 2026, exceeding its interim renewable electricity target. The retailer also reported a 7.5% annual reduction in operational emissions, although further reductions will be required to meet its longer-term climate commitments.
article Brookfield Launches $600 Million Renewable Energy Platform in India
August 3rd, 2026 • Brookfield Asset Management has launched Lumara Energy, a renewable energy development platform that plans to deploy approximately $600 million across India. The platform will begin with a portfolio of more than 6 GW of solar, wind and battery storage projects and will target delays affecting land, grid access and power purchase agreements.
article Verra Launches New Carbon Registry Powered by S&P Global
July 31st, 2026 • Verra has launched a new carbon registry powered by S&P Global Energy, consolidating project management and carbon credit transactions within a more integrated digital platform. The system has migrated billions of credits and thousands of projects, while introducing improved reporting, traceability, and account management tools for carbon market participants.
article Modified Titanium Dioxide Boosts Green Hydrogen Output in Laboratory Tests
July 31st, 2026 • Researchers from RMIT University and two Chinese universities have increased laboratory hydrogen production more than 80-fold by modifying titanium dioxide, a common and relatively inexpensive material. The findings could support the development of lower-cost photocatalytic hydrogen systems, although further testing under natural sunlight and full water-splitting conditions is required.
article AI Demand Helps Make Nuclear Power Financeable Again
July 29th, 2026 • Rapid growth in artificial intelligence is increasing demand for continuous electricity, prompting major technology companies to support nuclear projects through long-term contracts and direct investment. These commitments are improving the financial prospects of reactor restarts and advanced nuclear technologies, although construction costs, regulatory approvals and delivery risks remain significant.
article Malawi Launches First Utility-Scale Battery Storage System
July 29th, 2026 • Malawi has commissioned a 20 MW battery energy storage system in Lilongwe to store surplus solar power and support the national grid during periods of high demand. The project is expected to reduce power outages, limit reliance on diesel generation, and enable the country to integrate more renewable electricity.
article Gulfstream G800 Completes High-Altitude Flight Using 100% SAF
July 28th, 2026 • A Gulfstream G800 powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines has completed a high-altitude test flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel. The research campaign examined whether unblended SAF can reduce soot particles linked to contrail formation, while generating evidence to support future fuel certification and aviation climate strategies.
article ScotWind Spending Plans Highlight Offshore Wind Supply Chain Gap
July 28th, 2026 • Developers behind 16 ScotWind projects expect to spend £25.5 billion in Scotland across development, construction, operations and maintenance, according to updated supply chain statements. However, the wider expenditure forecast, estimated at more than US$112 billion, shows that Scotland will need substantially more manufacturing, port and workforce capacity to capture a larger share of the investment.
article Mykor Scales Mycelium Insulation Made From Waste Biomass
July 27th, 2026 • Mykor is developing insulation and construction systems that combine fungal mycelium with industrial and agricultural residues. The company aims to reduce embodied carbon, divert waste from disposal and offer builders an alternative to conventional mineral and fossil-based insulation materials.
