Taiwan is freezing industrial power rates and planning grid capacity around named fabs, while TSMC secures its own dedicated generation rather than wait.

Power, water, and permitting risk now belong in board-level due diligence, not just management's site selection memo. Here are five questions to ask.

A new model shows how tiny spacer layers change 2D perovskites. It could help engineers design better LEDs, solar cells and other light-based devices.

Windpark Zeewolde is pairing Europe's largest onshore wind farm with a new hydrogen-iron flow battery built for 10 to 40 hours of storage, not four.

PFAS contamination is now a regulated, litigated, and expensive problem for water systems, wastewater utilities, landfills, manufacturers, and property owners alike. Here’s what makes these chemicals different, where liability comes from, what drives remediation cost, and which treatment technologies work — and which claims deserve skepticism.

Chain length may shape how PFAS move through water and respond to treatment. For utilities, that means monitoring and removal strategies need sharper focus.

Volvo is putting greener materials inside its newest truck cabs. The move brings recycled plastics, fibers and certified wood into VNL and VNR models.

Ireland could owe up to $30 billion (€26 billion) by 2030 for missing EU climate targets, new fiscal modeling shows, with costs rising after 2030.

Building electrification replaces fossil-fueled heating, hot water, cooking, and some process loads with high-efficiency electric systems. Here’s how the U.S. economics, financing options, grid constraints, and building performance mandates are reshaping capital planning — and what owners should check before committing to a retrofit.

Power constraints can delay facility openings, increase carrying costs, and force expensive temporary power investments that reshape project economics for CFOs.

Data centers are absorbing grid capacity that manufacturers need for expansion, forcing executives to treat power access as a site selection variable.

As skilled trades shortages narrow the contractor pool, procurement teams face a workforce constraint they didn't create and can't negotiate their way out of.

With median interconnection timelines approaching five years, facilities teams are redesigning project sequencing around a queue that most enterprise plans never accounted for.

Blackstone's QTS dropped its final appeal, terminating pursuit of a 2,100-acre Virginia data center campus after courts voided the project's rezoning approvals.

CFOs entering Q3 face a triage question: which infrastructure-dependent projects can actually execute on their original timelines, and what changes next.

A structural cost coverage gap in the EU's Extended Producer Responsibility framework is leaving recyclers underfunded, just as the Circular Economy Act opens for reform.

The UK announced a $63.5 million critical minerals investment, funding rare earth magnet manufacturing, recycling projects, and a new industry demand aggregation platform.

TerraCycle’s NLR deal adds regulated waste capacity. The move gives business customers broader recycling and compliance support.

The D.C. Circuit unanimously upheld the EPA's 2024 PM2.5 soot standard on June 26, rejecting the Trump administration's bid to abandon the rule. EPA said it is reviewing the decision.
