From solar-powered cars to floating cell towers in the sky, scores of companies are working on technologies designed to build a more sustainable future. Here’s some of the most exciting green tech we’ll be keeping an eye on in 2025.
We start off with the Aptera, a super-efficient electric vehicle powered at least partly by solar power that has been working its way toward production for almost 20 years. I visited Aptera HQ in 2022, where I rode in some of the prototypes.
The Aptera’s aerodynamic shape is designed to maximize efficiency and make the most out of its onboard solar panels.
Jesse OrrallThe company recently unveiled its production-intent model, where the results of all those prototypes and testing have come together.
We are following companies like The Ocean Cleanup and The Searial Cleaners who make machines dedicated to cleaning up our shared natural spaces.

Verdagy aims to use its scalable, modular electrolyzer technology to bring down the cost of Green Hydrogen to make it competitive with fossil fuels.

Celso Bulgatti/CNETSceye is working on High-Altitude Platform Systems which use helium to lift them into the stratosphere where they can work like a geostationary satellite without needing a ride on a fuel-guzzling rocket.
