Australian households installed almost as many home batteries in the six months to the end of 2025 as they did in the previous five years combined, setting a new national record as families and businesses look to cut power bills and boost energy independence. The Clean Energy Council’s bi-annual Rooftop Solar and Storage Report (July–December 2025) shows more than 183,245 battery units were sold in the second half of last year, a four-fold increase on the same period in 2024. That figure represents 99% of all battery sales made between 2020 and...
There was a ghost in the room at a major event in Doha this week on liquefied natural gas – and the ghost was the European Union. EU diplomats may have said they want the 27-member bloc to strengthen energy security by building ties with the Gulf Cooperation Council, but no officials at the conference spoke to address concerns among the hosts, Qatar, US oil executives and global commodity traders over the burden of laws coming out of Brussels. At least three directives – the corporate sustainability due diligence directive (CSDDD), the methan...

A piece of Queensland’s rail history has been given a new lease on life, with one of the state’s earliest surviving signalling structures moved to a new home. A 130-year-old signal cabin, which was built near Ipswich station, has been craned to the Queensland Museum Rail Workshops in North Ipswich. The three-storey signal cabin was once the nerve centre of its section of the rail network, where early signal operators used the equipment to safely guide trains by setting routes and ensuring clear tracks. Built in 1895, it symbolised the e...
in International Shipping News 05/02/2026 Group net profit amounted to USD 120 million in 2025, driven by both the dry cargo and tanker units.

SINGAPORE—Airbus is still hunting for deals to bolster the dwindling A400M military transport’s backlog, but program boss Gerd Weber said he is more relaxed about winning the needed contracts than even a year ago, given demand signals. To keep production stable at the minimum sustainment rate of eight aircraft annually over the coming years, Airbus last year worked with Spain and France to pull forward some of their delivery positions to fill production gaps. A similar arrangement will likely not be needed again this year. Several of the core...

In open-pit mining, loading and haulage typically account for around 50–60 per cent of total operating costs, making efficiency gains in this area critical to overall mine performance. After fuel, tyres are usually the most expensive consumable in surface mining. A large metals operation can use up to 900 mining tyres each year, representing millions of dollars in operational expenditure. Preserving tyre life and improving tyre management practices is therefore a key lever for both cost control and operational resilience. A new white paper fr...
