The report introduced a new project-level metric, “firm levelised cost of electricity (LCOE)”, to assess the cost of delivering continuous electricity from hybrid systems combining solar PV, onshore wind and battery energy storage systems (BESS).   Firm solar-plus-storage costs fell to US$54–82/MWh in 2025 in high-resource regions, with further declines to below US$50/MWh expected by 2035, according to IRENA.

Scientists have developed a method to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen using solar power and acid from old car batteries. The one-pot process transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable industrial chemicals and clean fuel, potentially creating a circular upcycling system that tackles multiple problematic waste streams at once, the researchers say. Condensation polymers like polyethylene

An illustration depicting how an object with an atmosphere occults a distant star. (Image credit: NAOJ) A very small body, far from the sun in an icy outer realm of the solar system, has mysteriously grown an atmosphere — and scientists are stumped as to how and why this happened. One possibility is that the
