How different energy sources can learn from one another and work together, for a planet in balance

STOCKHOLM, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Our Hidden Powers: The Big Switch is the second book in Baseload’s children’s series. It builds on the topic of the first book, how energy sources can work together, but this time introduces a controversial figure: Fossi.

Written by Baseload Capital’s CMO, Kristina Hagström-Ilievska, the illustrated book brings a new classmate to its cast of energy characters. At first, nobody wants to sit beside Fossi. They say he smells. But as events unfold, they discover that Fossi has a hidden treasure.

The story reflects on the role fossil fuels have played in shaping modern society, while showing how geothermal energy can use knowledge, technology, and experience from the fossil fuel sector, to help restore balance to our planet. One built on innovation, collaboration, and solutions that work together across the energy system.

“With this second book, we wanted to approach the energy conversation in a balanced way,” says Kristina. “Understanding how we got here is just as important as thinking about where we go next, and that means acknowledging the historical importance of fossil fuel. At the same time, renewable energy, including geothermal with its always-on availability, will be increasingly important in the years ahead. Through storytelling, we can introduce these ideas to new audiences in a way that feels hopeful and is easy to relate to.”

“The book is written to spark conversations about energy and climate change,” says Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital. “While the primary target group is children, the aim is also to ignite dialogues in the wider energy sector as well as with policy makers and investors who strive for positive impact.”

Print copies of the book are currently available across the EU, with wider availability expected soon. The e-book is already accessible worldwide for those who prefer a digital format.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As demand for AI and high-performance compute accelerates, three companies are building a model that co-locates energy generation, waste conversion and compute as a single deployable system.

TEASK, OneQode and Tigasfera Greentech today announced a collaboration that combines renewable energy, waste-to-energy systems and high-performance compute into a single deployable model – generating power where infrastructure is needed, converting local waste into additional energy, and running compute directly on top of it.

TEASK provides rapidly deployable solar-powered microgrids. Tigasfera Greentech delivers modular, decentralised waste-to-energy systems that convert biomass waste into renewable electricity and carbon-negative outputs. OneQode delivers sovereign AI cloud compute, telecoms and modular datacenter infrastructure designed to run on these energy sources.

The framework is open and collaborative by design. No single company can solve the converging demands of energy, data and sustainability alone. This approach treats the problem as a system – generation, intelligence and regeneration operating as coordinated layers rather than separate industries.

Malaysia is the collaboration’s initial focus. The country offers strong policy support for renewable energy, a rapidly expanding digital economy, and growing demand for local compute capacity. Tigasfera Greentech, initially incubated through PETRONAS Innovation Garage (PING), is already operating and developing multiple waste-to-energy and carbon credits deployments across Malaysia. TEASK is a Malaysia-based clean energy company building portable, solar-powered energy nodes and EV charging infrastructure. Its systems are designed for rapid deployment in both urban and underserved environments. TEASK is a national award-winning energy company, recognised at the National Energy Awards for renewable energy innovation.

James Tan, CEO, TEASK: “We can deploy a solar energy node in under 30 minutes. That fundamentally changes where infrastructure can exist. When you combine that with waste-to-energy and compute, you’re no longer waiting for the grid to catch up; you’re building the grid, wherever people need it most.”

Matthew Shearing, CEO, OneQode: “We’re on a mission to bring world-class AI compute to countries around the world in a way that’s sovereign, performance-focused, and locally empowering. This collaboration gives us a way to deploy infrastructure in markets where traditional power supply would add years to the timeline.”

Yusof Faizal Amin, CEO, Tigasfera: “By turning waste into power at the source and pair it with digital compute, it brings energy, economic value and digital opportunity directly to local communities. This creates a new model where digital infrastructure doesn’t just consume resources-it uplifts communities and removes carbon as it scales.”

About the companies

TEASK is a Malaysia-based clean energy company building portable solar microgrids and EV charging infrastructure designed for rapid deployment. The company is a national award-winning energy innovator, recognised at the National Energy Awards, and collaborates internationally with partners including Japan’s Leave a Nest.

OneQode is a global infrastructure-as-a-service provider headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. The company operates a latency-optimised carrier network across 30+ countries with 22 points of presence, delivering GPU compute, bare metal servers, cloud platforms and modular datacenter solutions.

Tigasfera Greentech is a Malaysia-based decarbonisation-as-a-service company delivering modular, onsite solutions that convert waste into clean energy, carbon-negative products and verified carbon credits. Incubated by PETRONAS, it intends to be a key enabler of circular economy solutions and carbon-negative infrastructure in the region.

Christine Levett presents a story that mirrors today’s global concerns over ocean pollution and climate impact

RANGIORA, New Zealand, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When Christine Levett published “The Whale that Protested” (published by Xlibris NZ) in 2014, plastic-choked beaches and wildlife harmed by pollution were only gaining traction in public conversation. More than a decade later, this children’s book reads less like a cautionary tale and more like a reflection of the world children are growing up in today.

The story follows Mrs. Right, a mother whale who becomes alarmed when pollution in the ocean begins making her baby sick. Surrounded by waste discarded by humans — plastic, chemicals, oil, and abandoned fishing nets — Mrs. Right realizes that the ocean is no longer safe. While other sea creatures acknowledge the problem, they believe nothing can be done. Refusing to accept inaction, Mrs. Right stages an unprecedented protest, swimming up a polluted city river with her calf to force humans to notice the damage they are causing.

As media coverage spreads and experts speculate the cause of this unusual behavior, the true message becomes clear: the ocean has been treated as a dumping ground for too long. In response, city leaders introduce cleanup efforts, anti-dumping regulations, and recycling initiatives — demonstrating how awareness can lead to meaningful change.

“The Whale that Protested” is designed to be both an educational and engaging book that introduces environmental responsibility in a way that young children could easily understand. The book is well suited for classroom discussions, group readings, and one-on-one storytelling.

“If this book starts a conversation with children about how we affect the environment, then this is the goal achieved,” Levett states. “It is not an extensive list of what we have done to our environment but it will start an awareness which hopefully will last a lifetime.”

About the Author
Christine Levett is a children’s author and longtime social worker whose work with families and communities has shaped her belief that change is possible when people refuse to stay silent. A mother of three, she has witnessed firsthand how deeply children worry about the future they will inherit and how strongly they respond to stories that respect their awareness. Having observed significant environmental changes and growing threats to wildlife during her lifetime, Levett believes speaking out matters — even when it feels uncomfortable or unpopular. “The Whale That Protested” was her first published book, and it introduces a character who continues to explore real-world challenges in future stories focused on creativity, courage and collective responsibility.
