Nuclear funding and energy efficiency: the week in sustainability
Energy and efficiency led the week, from Elementl's nuclear funding pact and Jinko's results to low-power displays, cooling forecasts and e-waste compliance.
Energy supply and efficiency ran through several of the week's releases. Elementl Power said it signed a preliminary agreement with DS Investment Partners and Samsung C&T for a proposed partnership of up to $750 million to help fund multiple U.S. nuclear projects, while Jinko Holdings reported unaudited third-quarter 2026 results covering its solar and energy storage business. On the demand side, TCL said its donated solar-powered display draws roughly half the power of comparable displays, and MarketsandMarkets projected rapid growth in data center coolant distribution units.
Building systems, waste rules and research made up the rest. EffectiV said it won a 2027 AHR Expo Innovation Award for its BREEZ ductwork, and Temu said it signed with Spain's Recyclia to help marketplace sellers meet extended producer responsibility obligations. Hanyang University ERICA reported a light-pulse method for nitrogen dioxide gas sensors, and New7Wonders opened public voting on future urban developments.
