Tetra Pak launches integrated heat pump system to electrify pasteurization and cut energy use by up to 77% Tetra Pak announces the expansion of its Factory Sustainable Solutions portfolio with its new Tetra Pak Integrated Heat Pump system for pasteurizers, designed t

Tetra Pak just launched a heat-pump-based pasteurization system that can cut energy use by up to 77%.

Electrification + heat recovery = massive efficiency gains. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes innovation that quietly transforms entire sectors.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The Legal Attack on Superblock Barcelona - City Lab Barcelona In this blog post, I attempt to unpack what this court ruling is about, the legal arguments, and who is behind it. Did the city really do something wrong?  What will happen to the Consell de Cent proj...

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

Streets for people are good for business.

Chinese exporters charge Russia more for war supplies as sanctions bite Price increases show that western restrictions are limiting Moscow’s capabilities, Bank of Finland research finds

Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

Chinese exporters have raised prices for Russian military buyers, exploiting Moscow’s isolation created by sanctions.

Prices of export-controlled products from China to Russia rose 87% in 3 years. For others, the rise was 9%.

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.

Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.

Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

SunDrive just secured $25.3M in federal funding to scale copper-based solar cell tech. Copper 100x cheaper and 1000x more abundant than silver, could cut solar install costs by 30%.pilot cells already beat commercial standards, now scaling to 300MW with help from ARENA at the Sydney plant. #auspol

The end of the Oil Age won’t come from scarcity — it’ll come from irrelevance. Solar, wind, and batteries aren’t waiting for permission; they’re simply better.
When the new paradigm outperforms the old on cost, speed, and resilience, history doesn’t argue — it moves on. #EnergyTransition #BESS #EV

Why Electric Cars May Soon Become Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars Industry insiders are calling it the EV price collapse—and for the first time, electric cars could soon be cheaper to buy than their gasoline counterparts.

Lithium prices down 60%. Tesla slashing prices. BYD and others flooding the market. EVs are no longer “the future.” They’re the cheaper option. Sorry petrolheads, i guess now you can stop "waiting for the tech to develop" while continually paying for fuel. www.forbes.com/sites/peterl...

Key quote from the great Lewis Mumford in 1955 — “Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.”

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.
