ChatGPT generated panoramic illustration of a sustainable forest-to-factory flow, showing electric harvesters, battery log trucks, biomass kilns, CLT panels, and modular housing assembly
The carbon story of cross laminated timber (CLT) is not only about how much carbon is stored in panels and buildings but also about how much is emitted in the process of getting logs from forests to construction sites. Environmental product declarations show that CLT is already net negative cradle … [continued]
A proposed 1.5-gigawatt pumped storage hydropower project in New Mexico aims to leverage 70 hours of long duration energy storage capacity to help decarbonize the regional grid.
Another new solar factory is rising in North Carolina as the US solar industry continues to plan ahead for long term growth despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy.
ChatGPT generated panoramic illustration of Canada’s mass timber value chain, from forest harvesting to sawmills, bioenergy plants, CLT factories, and modular housing assembly
Canada’s opportunity in mass timber is not just about building more mills or adding capacity here and there. It is about creating an integrated value chain that runs from forests to finished housing modules. That means linking sawmills, energy systems, adhesives, logistics, and modular factories into a coherent industrial strategy. … [continued]

Work on the new Connecticut-Rhode Island Revolution Wind offshore wind project has been stopped by order of the Interior Department, even as a new life is injected into a gas pipleline proposal in the two states.
A new agrivoltaics assessment tool can help US farmers weight the financial and environmental impacts of combining solar panels with crops on their land.
A new USDA rule targets solar panels instead of addressing the real estate developers who are swallowing up US farms at an alarming pace.
Leading stakeholders in the building decarbonization movement continue to plan ahead for the long term, despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy this year (courtesy of WattBuy).

Sophisticated new EV charging management systems have the potential to slash $30 billion from utility costs, leading to an across-the-board 10% savings on electricity bills by 2035.
ChatGPT generated a panoramic split image contrasting China’s vast solar farms and HVDC lines with the U.S.’s coal power plant, flags marking two divergent energy paths
China’s coal consumption dropped by about 2.6% in the first six months of 2025 while electricity demand rose roughly 5% compared with the same period in 2024. That means China added solar and wind capacity fast enough to cover new demand and then some. U.S. coal fired electricity jumped 14% … [continued]
Despite persistent uncertainty in the global green hydrogen market, China’s Sungrow Hydrogen has established an elaborate new R&D facility in Germany.
