The EU has granted strategic project status to a Bulgarian battery storage plant, while Air Liquide finalises a 200-MW electrolyzer in Rotterdam — two milestones that reveal Europe’s shift from clean energy ambition to industrial-scale delivery. Here’s what these developments mean for the continent’s energy […]

The EU has officially approved a 90% greenhouse gas emissions reduction target by 2040, setting a new benchmark for climate ambition across the bloc. At the same time, changes to supply-chain due diligence rules signal a more selective approach to ESG regulation — with major […]

The EU approved a binding 90% emissions reduction target for 2040 while simultaneously scaling back corporate supply-chain due diligence rules. The twin decisions reveal a growing tension between long-term climate ambition and near-term business compliance in European sustainability policy.

In a groundbreaking development in international diplomacy, Iran and Israel have reached a historic agreement.
