Altmin became the first Indian firm to join the U.S.-led Mineral Security Partnership, acquiring lithium refining technology from Brazil to build the world's first spodumene-to-battery-grade refinery outside China. Initiated under the Biden administration, the milestone strengthens India's clean energy supply chain and reduces dependence on Chinese processing.10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study finds battery electric vehicles now have the lowest lifetime carbon emissions of any car type across every U.S. county, regardless of grid mix or driving habits. Researchers analyzed 35 vehicle configurations and confirmed EVs outperform hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and gas cars - even when carrying cargo. Grid decarbonization and improved efficiency have made EVs the most climate-friendly choice nationwide.10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Amazon's Zoox has launched its first public robotaxi service on the Las Vegas Strip, offering free rides in fully autonomous, purpose-built electric vehicles. Designed from the ground up for self-driving, Zoox features bi-directional movement, face-to-face seating, and a 360° sensor suite. The pilot includes remote supervision, safety redundancies, and limited fleet deployment, marking a strategic step in Amazon's urban mobility ambitions.05 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Huawei has launched the world's first 100-megawatt EV charging station in Sichuan, China, capable of charging a Tesla in just two minutes. Built for electric heavy-duty trucks, the $21 million facility spans 11.5 acres, supports 700 vehicles daily, and features ultra-fast chargers up to 1.44 MW. Developed with Yuanqi Xingguang, it marks a major leap in EV infrastructure and positions China at the forefront of ultra-high-capacity charging innovation.04 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Global EV sales surged nearly 29% from January to July 2025, led by China's BYD with 2.2 million units. Geely overtook Tesla for second place, growing 70% to 1.13 million units, while Tesla's sales fell 13%. Hyundai ranked seventh, boosted by models like the Ioniq 5 and Casper Electric. China dominated with 63% of global EV sales, followed by Europe and North America. Market shifts reflect rising demand for affordable and localized electric vehicles.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.

America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
