* Think tank makes economic case for EU to embrace geothermal, hydropower, and nuclear power  * Analysis shows potential to shift these sources from baseload to dispatchable energy  * New poll shows how the prospect of living near different energy...

Three days. Four sectors. Hundreds of participants. Thousands of conversations. Countless ideas for closing climate innovation gaps.The Future Cleantech Festival 2026 brought together policymakers, industrial leaders, innovators, investors, researchers, and civil society to explore what a net-zero future looks like...

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) is likely to push for more ambitious global electrification targets. Heavy industry must also follow this path. But deploying it at scale requires an energy system that can deliver clean, reliable, and affordable electricity...

Europe must complement solar and wind with long-duration energy storage and clean firm power technologies, such as next-generation geothermal, hydropower, and nuclear power.Solar and wind power – along with batteries, smart grids, and innovative renewable energy technologies – can meet...

Future Cleantech Architects partnered with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to launch the publication: “Building Tomorrow: Transforming the Construction Sector for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth.” The publication explores how circular construction, structural efficiency, safer materials, industrial innovation, and resource-efficient...

Today at the Future Cleantech Festival, participants explored how innovation, circularity, and policy can work together to transform some of Europe’s most emissions-intensive value chains: steel production and construction.At KNDS, participants saw how electric arc furnaces transform scrap into high-quality...

“Hydrogen is central to key industries, but today it mostly depends on fossil fuels. As Europe scales clean hydrogen, it must use this scarce resource wisely and stay open to innovation, including direct electrification” – Magnolia Tovar.We were grateful to...
