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.

News from Industry and/or Government
We also provide a selection of timely and relevant news releases from industry and government that stakeholders in the global energy transition need to make informed decisions.

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.
