Charlotte, N.C. – – September 18, 2026 -- TAT Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: TATT) has agreed to supply its Universal Cooling System (UCS) to Beyond Aero, a French aerospace startup building what it calls the world's first hydrogen-electric business aircraft.

Beyond Aero targets 800 nautical miles on hydrogen-electric propulsion

Beyond Aero's clean-sheet aircraft, named ONE, is designed to carry six passengers up to 800 nautical miles (1,500 km) — roughly five times the range of comparable battery-powered aircraft. The Toulouse-based company, founded in 2020, employs more than 80 aerospace engineers across operations in Toulouse, Paris and Los Angeles.

United States – September 18, 2026 -- Nearly 27% of taxi and rideshare vehicles across 16 major U.S. cities are operating with at least one open, unfixed safety recall, according to a CARFAX analysis of almost 438,000 vehicle identification numbers (VINs).

National average masks sharp city-by-city gaps

While the study found a roughly 20% national average of unrepaired recalls among the fleet vehicles reviewed, performance varied widely by market. Los Angeles recorded an 11% open-recall rate and Boston posted just 9%, both well below the broader industry figure of 27% identified across the full 16-city sample.

Frankfurt – September 17, 2026 -- Aeson Power, an Australian sodium-ion battery technology maker, is showcasing its vehicle battery portfolio at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, with over 100,000 units of its aftermarket starter and start-stop batteries already deployed across more than 30 countries.

Sodium-ion starter batteries claim triple the lifespan of lead-acid alternatives

Aeson Power's sodium-ion starter and start-stop batteries deliver instant starting power, fast charging and strong cold-start performance at lower weight, according to the company. The batteries operate across a wide temperature range and are engineered for a lifespan exceeding three times that of conventional lead-acid batteries in start-stop applications, positioning them as a direct aftermarket replacement.

Washington – September 17, 2026 -- The Center for Green Market Activation (GMA), RMI, and 3Degrees have launched the Green Ammonia Buyers Alliance (GABA), a collective procurement initiative targeting emissions from fertilizer manufacturing, one of the largest contributors to the sector's estimated 1.2 gigatons of annual CO2e output.

GABA will pool demand from food and beverage companies to purchase Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) directly from verified green ammonia producers through a book-and-claim system, aiming to give project developers the revenue certainty needed to move green ammonia facilities from announcement to construction.

London – September 17, 2026 -- BASF retook the top spot in the ICIS Top 100 Chemical Companies ranking with $70.0 billion in 2025 sales, even as sector-wide net profits collapsed 81.9% year-on-year.

BASF overtakes Sinopec to lead global chemical rankings

The Germany-based producer displaced China's Sinopec, which posted $66.3 billion in sales for second place. US-based ExxonMobil ranked third at $53.4 billion, followed by PetroChina at $42.1 billion and Dow at $40.0 billion, according to the annual ICIS Chemical Business ranking, which converts figures to US dollars using year-end 2025 exchange rates.

Santa Barbara, Calif. – September 17, 2026 -- Sidero Labs has added native hypervisor capabilities to Talos Linux, allowing enterprises to run containers and virtual machines under one operating system and a single API instead of maintaining separate platforms for each workload type. The company also disclosed it has been acquired by real estate software giant Yardi Systems, which will fund continued development of the open-source project.

Talos Linux now runs VMs without requiring Kubernetes or KubeVirt

The update builds hypervisor functionality directly into Talos Linux, extending the platform's immutability, minimal attack surface and declarative management to virtual machine workloads. Sidero Labs president Steve Francis said the design removes the need for VM infrastructure teams to learn Kubernetes and KubeVirt just to operate virtual machines, while still offering a path toward container-based architectures on their own timeline.
