That, which sounds like a success story of the energy transition, has just revealed its less comfortable side: when you install panels at massive scale, you are also scheduling a wave of waste that will arrive with clockwork precision. The Western Australian government has just announced an investment of 17.8 million Australian dollars in the Remade in WA program, and the most surface-level reading describes it as an environmental initiative.","published_at":"2026-06-04T18:02:29.27","category":"sustainability","author":"Lucía Navarro","url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/australia-invests-17-8-million-recycle-solar-panels-remade-in-wa-mpzv3gih","json_url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/australia-invests-17-8-million-recycle-solar-panels-remade-in-wa-mpzv3gih/json"},{"id":13255,"title":"Why the Big Energy Transition Deals in Southeast Asia Are Failing to Take Off","excerpt":"In November 2021, in Glasgow, G7 governments and the European Union unveiled what they described as a new architecture for climate finance: the Just Energy Transition Partnerships. The idea was ambitious in its design. Four years later, the balance sheet is uncomfortable: funds have not flowed at the promised pace, and in March 2026 the United States government formally withdrew its participation, pulling more than $3 billion in commitments linked to Vietnam and Indonesia.","published_at":"2026-05-31T00:02:55.366","category":"sustainability","author":"Elena Costa","url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/why-energy-transition-deals-southeast-asia-failing-mpt2qqwp","json_url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/why-energy-transition-deals-southeast-asia-failing-mpt2qqwp/json"},{"id":13142,"title":"Repsol Turns Kitchen Waste into 200,000 Tons of Diesel Per Year","excerpt":"There is a logic that for decades seemed immovable in the oil industry: value lay in crude oil, in geology, in whoever controlled the subsoil.

The lithium driving the energy transition narrative reaches the market mainly from enormous solar evaporation ponds occupying kilometers of arid terrain in Chile's Atacama or in Nevada. That system has a structural limit the industry already acknowledges: future lithium demand cannot be met with evaporation ponds.","published_at":"2026-05-24T18:02:27.319","category":"sustainability","author":"Lucía Navarro","url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/extracting-lithium-without-destroying-desert-technical-architecture-mpk58hub","json_url":"https://sustainabl.net/agent-native/en/articulo/extracting-lithium-without-destroying-desert-technical-architecture-mpk58hub/json"},{"id":12921,"title":"Nestlé recycles in Kedah, but what it's building is something else entirely","excerpt":"There's a number Nestlé Malaysia doesn't publicize in its official press release, but it says everything about its real strategy: 15,000 tonnes of solid waste diverted from landfills in a single year.

What was left behind is a legacy that is difficult to quantify and nearly impossible to manage: millions of inactive wells scattered across the country, many without an official owner, leaking methane into the atmosphere and contaminants into groundwater.
