Sustainable tech trends to watch in 2025
From solar-powered cars to floating cell towers in the sky, dozens of companies are working on technologies designed to build a more sustainable future. Here are some of the most exciting green technologies to keep an eye on in 2025.
We start with the Aptera, a super-efficient electric vehicle powered at least in part by solar energy that’s been making its way into production for almost 20 years. i visited Aptera HQ in 2022 where I rode in some of the prototypes.
Aptera’s aerodynamic shape is designed to maximize efficiency and get the most out of the on-board solar panels.
The company recently unveiled its production model, where the results of all these prototypes and tests have been compiled.
We follow companies like Cleaning the ocean and The serial cleaners who make machines dedicated to cleaning up our shared natural spaces.

This year we also visited companies such as Sky and tomorrowwho are working on building a more sustainable infrastructure. Verdagy aims to use its scalable, modular electrolysis technology to lower the cost of green hydrogen to be competitive with fossil fuels.

Sceye is working on high-altitude platform systems that use helium to lift them into the stratosphere, where they can operate as a geostationary satellite without having to ride a rocket that guzzles fuel.
