Sinn Power has launched its first floating photovoltaic (FPV) installation in Germany using vertical photovoltaic modules arranged east-west with open water corridors. Located at the Jais gravel plant in Starnberg, it delivers 1.87 MW while covering just 4.65% of the lake surface - well under the legal 15%. The SKipp technology features a keel-like substructure for stability, with minimal surface shading and harm to the aquatic habitat.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite ailing US President's rollback of the nation's climate policies and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, global climate action persists. Emissions may have peaked due to rising renewable investment. Nations like China are stepping up, and no country has followed the U.S. in leaving the Paris deal. Subnational actors like California remain engaged. COP30 may still drive progress, even without U.S. leadership.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
As U.S. EV incentives phase out, automakers face a tougher market. Tesla leads with 43.1% EV share, but GM gains ground with 13.8%, thanks to a broad lineup and low incentives. Ford lags at 6.6%, struggling despite heavy investment. The industry braces for slower growth, signaling a shift from government support to market-driven competition. Survival now depends on scale, innovation, and execution.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Nio's sub-brand Firefly launched the Night Creature Special Edition of its EV, limited to 666 units. Priced at RMB 136,800 ($19,170), it features exclusive black paint, white decals, alloy wheels, a g-force handling kit with red high-stiffness springs, and an illuminated NFC card. Deliveries begin October 23. The release follows August’s Nomadic Maillard edition, boosting brand buzz in China’s competitive EV market.13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota has unveiled a sleek new Corolla concept ahead of its official debut at the Japan Mobility Show later this October. The design features a charging port door on the front fender, strongly suggesting a plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrain. This marks a bold shift for the iconic Corolla nameplate, signaling Toyota’s move toward electrification. Full details will be revealed at the Tokyo event.

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.
