Eni to produce renewable steam

EnergyNext will deliver an industrial thermal battery system to Eni SpA (BIT:ENI) and deploy it in a project for generating renewable steam at the Italian oil and gas major’s site in Sicily. The goal of the particular project at Eni’s Gela refinery is to connect the thermal battery to a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant …

How does a small Pacific archipelago keep rats, stoats, and possums off entire islands so that flightless birds thought nearly extinct now breed in the open again? September 3, 2026
How drone-dropped bait, smart traps and tight biosecurity have cleared rats and stoats from Pacific islands, letting sooty terns, shearwaters and the kākāpō breed on open ground again. The post How does a small Pacific archipelago keep rats, stoats, and possums off entire islands so that flightless birds thought nearly extinct now breed in the […]
Astronauts returning from six-month International Space Station stays land measurably taller, sometimes by up to 5 centimetres, because without gravity compressing their vertebrae the intervertebral discs slowly rehydrate and expand, and the effect reverses within a few painful weeks back on Earth September 2, 2026
After six months on the International Space Station, astronauts return up to 5 centimetres taller because microgravity lets their intervertebral discs rehydrate and expand — and the effect reverses painfully within weeks of landing. The post Astronauts returning from six-month International Space Station stays land measurably taller, sometimes by up to 5 centimetres, because without […]
On 24 August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted in Prague to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, and the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum staff simply walked to the Exploring the Planets gallery entrance and placed a red ‘no’ symbol over the Pluto sign September 1, 2026
On 24 August 2006, astronomers in Prague voted to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet — and within hours, Smithsonian staff walked to the Exploring the Planets gallery and stuck a red prohibition sticker over the Pluto sign, the fastest museum update in the building's history. The post On 24 August 2006, the International Astronomical […]

Utility-scale solar has no effect on nearby residential property values, Indiana research finds September 4, 2026
A new research brief from Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) finds no statistically significant negative effects on residential property values associated with proximity to large wind or utility-scale solar projects in Indiana. The brief, “Indiana Renewables and the Residential Real Estate Market,” summarizes findings from two larger CBER studies examining wind and… […]
Flex to purchase inverter brand EPC Power for $4.4 billion September 4, 2026
Flex announced it plans to acquire EPC Power at a value of $4.4 billion. After the expected transaction close in Q4 2026, EPC Power will become part of Flex’s Cloud and Power Infrastructure (CPI) segment. Flex plans to separate CPI into an independent publicly traded company in Q1 2027. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in California,… […]
Illinois solar project uses terrain-following trackers, installation robots to reduce engineering effort September 3, 2026
The 346-MW Gibson City Solar Project, developed by Earthrise Energy and constructed by Burns & McDonnell, achieved commercial operation in Illinois using Earthrise Energy’s surplus interconnection strategy. By connecting through the existing switchyard of an adjacent gas-fired peaking facility, the project leveraged available grid capacity rather than requiring a new interconnection, illustrating one approach to accelerating… […]
