Green Tech is an important part of the solution of climate change and other enviromental problems. Here you will find articles covering recycling, water purifying and tech used to conserve and protect natural resources. Also, news about Warp Green Tech Program will be found here.
🔋 Denmark's first molten salt battery can power 100,000 homes for 10 hours
Denmark has launched a 1 GWh molten salt battery that can store renewable energy for up to two weeks with minimal loss. The system uses industrial byproducts from chlorine production and achieves 80-90 percent efficiency for co-generation of heat and electricity.
📉 Have China's CO2 emissions peaked? Declining for the first time thanks to clean energy
China's carbon dioxide emissions fell by 1.6 percent in the first quarter of 2025 despite sharply increased energy demand. China's electricity sector emissions have decreased four times previously. However, the current reduction is the first time the main cause is growth in clean energy production.
🚙 Global electric vehicle sales increases – expected to exceed 20 million vehicles in 2025
The International Energy Agency predicts that 25 percent of new cars in Europe will be electric this year. The price gap between electric cars and gasoline cars is decreasing rapidly, especially in China where two-thirds of electric cars are now cheaper than gasoline cars.
🔋 Researchers are developing liquid batteries that can be printed in any shape: "Like toothpaste"
Researchers have created batteries with electrodes in liquid form that can be 3D-printed without losing capacity. The battery can be stretched to double its length and has been tested through 500 charging cycles without performance loss.
🏆 Four companies win $100 million for their carbon capture
Mati Carbon receives the main prize of 50 million dollars in the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition. The company uses crushed basalt on agricultural land to accelerate a natural weathering process that permanently binds carbon dioxide, while improving soil quality for small-scale farmers.
📉 UK greenhouse gas emissions drop to lowest level since 1872
Coal usage in the country fell to the lowest level since 1666. The number of electric vehicles increased by almost 40% during 2024, contributing to reduced oil demand despite increased traffic on the roads.
🔋 Solar panels and batteries dominate new power generation in the US in 2025
Solar energy and battery storage will account for 81 percent of the total capacity increase, with solar energy representing over 50 percent. While renewable energy grows, coal power continues to decrease. The US will decommission twice as much coal power capacity this year compared to last year.
🔋 Part 2: Towards the energy society – the world's first EnergyNet is launched & Broadband Jesus is resurrected
Broadband Jesus waited until one week after Easter to resurrect. Now as Electricity Jesus.
🐦 Solar farms benefit bird life more than agricultural land
Well-managed solar parks have been shown to host more bird species and individuals per hectare than surrounding farmland. Solar parks that maintain a mix of habitats, uncut grass, and preserved hedges had almost three times more birds compared to nearby farmland.
