This New Solar Battery Stores Energy Without Lithium or the Grid

Oil news - Wed, 05/20/2026 - 20:00
The challenge of solar-powered energy has always been the means to store it. And the intermittency of solar and wind energy makes that storage capability essential. Energy from the sun and wind can only be created — and stored — when the sun shines or the wind blows. But that technological gap may be closing thanks to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who have created a “rechargeable solar battery” that stores sunlight in molecules and later releases enough heat to boil water. The scientists started…

Nigeria Targets 100,000-BPD Oil Output Increase As Global Supply Disrupted

Oil news - Wed, 05/20/2026 - 19:30

A Clean Shipping Crunch Is Looming Amid a Conventional Fuel Shortage

Oil news - Wed, 05/20/2026 - 19:00
The escalation of conflict across the Middle East and the disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz have introduced a variable into the maritime energy transition that regulatory frameworks were never designed to handle: the possibility that conventional marine fuel becomes unavailable because competing domestic priorities absorb the available supply. This changes the analytical framing for clean shipping in a big way, just as Norway introduced its new GHG-reduction rule. Steeper decline than FuelEU Maritime, similar architecture…
