This handout satellite image from Copernicus Sentinel Data 2025 taken on July 26, 2025 and received on July 29, 2025 shows fields of solar panels at the National Energy Solar Power Power Generation Technology Research and Development Center - Qinghai Test Base, in the desert at Delingha, in China's northwest Qinghai province. An ocean of blue solar panels ripples across the ochre dunes of Inner Mongolia's Kubuqi desert, a glittering example of China's almost inconceivably mammoth energy transition. Even as other countries have put the brakes on desert solar projects for economic or technical reasons, China -- the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases -- is ploughing ahead.

(COMBO) This combination image created on September 25, 2025 shows a handout satellite image from Copernicus Sentinel Data 2025 taken on July 26, 2025 and received on July 29, 2025 of fields of solar panels at the National Energy Solar Power Power Generation Technology Research and Development Center - Qinghai Test Base, in the desert at Delingha, in China's northwest Qinghai province (top) and the same area taken on October 31, 2016. An ocean of blue solar panels ripples across the ochre dunes of Inner Mongolia's Kubuqi desert, a glittering example of China's almost inconceivably mammoth energy transition.

A handout photograph taken on September 17, 2025 and distributed by Zero Emission Service on September 24, 2025 shows a battery being charged in order to be used on the vessel MS Den Bosch Max Groen, an emission-free container transport on inland waterways, at the port of Rotterdam. At a windswept container park near the sprawling port of Rotterdam, a crane slots a 30-tonne white battery into a transporter vessel, enough to provide eight hours of zero-emissions freight. The ship, the MS Den Bosch Max Groen, will ply the waterways between the ports of Rotterdam and Den Bosch using a pioneering system of swappable batteries, hailed as the world's first commercial deployment of the technology.
