About Kathari News
OUR MISSION
The global energy transition involves all of us. Every day, we make decisions based on our knowledge of both its perils and its possibilities. To make the right ones, we need trusted information that is both simple to understand and available at the right time.
At Kathari News, we recognize that it can be a challenge to find. Consumers, policymakers, researchers, investors, operators and citizens are inundated with content about this monumental shift taking place around the world, both within and beyond their borders and expertise. This sense of overwhelm can lead to poorly informed, or even misinformed, decisions, or inaction that slows down our transition to a cleaner world.
Kathari News takes on this challenge by delivering comprehensive and reliable news and views on the ongoing global energy transition to help you know what you need to know and why. You can trust our experienced editors to share the latest news from leading international wire services, while also curating a collection of authoritative and diverse voices offering informed analysis and perspectives from across the spectrum of ideas, technologies, research and policy.
The name Kathari comes from the Greek: to make clean, to cleanse. From καθαρός (katharós, “clean”). Kathari News is a destination and a guide for everyone on this quest for a cleaner world, fostering deeper knowledge and debate about the greatest challenge of our time.
Thank you for visiting the Beta version of Kathari News. We want to hear from you. Please send your comments, questions and ideas to editor@kathari.news.

They each have their own trusted brands backed up by strong editorial principles regarding accuracy, fairness and transparency: Reuters, The Associated Press, The Canadian Press, Agence France-Presse and PA Media. Our editorial team selects and categorizes these news articles based on timeliness and relevance to our global audience.
Perspectives
Kathari News also highlights news and views from a range of voices engaged in the global energy transition to present the big picture our audience requires. Our editorial team curates, summarizes and links to this third-party content, which is not produced by Kathari News, based on its relevance to our audience and our mission to foster informed debate.

News from Industry and/or Government
We also provide a selection of timely and relevant news releases from industry, government and others that stakeholders in the global energy transition need to make informed decisions. This content is selected independently of our editorial operations and each post is clearly labelled as a news release. The issuers of these news releases are solely responsible for their content.
Separately, our editorial team will often direct our audience to relevant news releases, backgrounders and earnings reports regarding projects, investments, legislation, regulations and other information through links included within the body of posted articles to supplement their reading of news and views on Kathari News.
Corrections
Kathari News is committed to providing our audience with accurate information from trusted sources of news around the world. Each wire service that provides content to Kathari News has a corrections policy in place to ensure errors are fixed promptly, fully and transparently.
Once Kathari News is made aware of a correction issued by a wire service provider, we will update or replace the original version with the correct version and an accompanying correction note to let audiences know what has changed. The accuracy of the third-party content that appears on Kathari News remains the responsibility of its original authors and/or publishers, but Kathari News will follow the same corrections policy should we be made aware of an error. If the unlikely event that the error is fundamental to the premise of the news or analysis, we will consider removing it from the site and/or our social media feeds with full transparency.
