Twenty years ago, wind energy was a niche industry that contributed less than 1% to the total electricity demand in the United States. It has since emerged as a serious contender in the race...
A Green New Deal could reinvigorate Southeast Asia’s economy after the coronavirus pandemic recedes while preparing the region for the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change, argued trade expert James Guild recently in the...
The latest round of offshore wind farms to be built in the UK could reduce household energy bills by producing electricity very cheaply. Wind power could become the cheapest form of energy for the...
A new alarm system powered by the movement of trees in the wind could help detect and fight forest fires. Quick response to forest fires can significantly reduce the damage and loss of property...
Estée Lauder has become the first major beauty company in the world to sign a virtual power purchase agreement for renewable energy, boosting its renewable electricity footprint in the US and Canada. Global beauty...
UN-backed report has found that renewable energy investments over the past decade quadrupled renewable capacity and avoided 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions. Solar energy led the way. Global investment in new renewable energy...
Green energy is becoming increasing popular in the land of carbon. John Dyer reports. Controlling more than half of the planet’s oil reserves and more than a third of its natural gas, Middle Eastern...
The price of renewable energy throughout the international economy should give heart to those who hope renewable energies and technologies might be the key to saving the world’s environment. John Dyer reports. Renewable energy...
The EU has devoted €8 million to a project that aims to create a European-wide battery industry by 2030. John Dyer reports. Europe could be falling behind in the race to develop new battery technologies,...
Origin Energy will supply up to 75 per cent of Sydney Airport’s electricity with wind power from a 37-turbine, 135 MW wind farm. Sydney Airport is Australia’s busiest airport. Located just 8 kilometres south...
Windfarms in the UK provided more electricity than nuclear power stations in the first three months of 2018. It is the first time wind has overtaken nuclear across a quarter. Data drawn from the...
Continued emissions are expected to cause a global north-to-south shift in wind power by the end of this century, causing challenges to the rapidly growing wind energy industry. The global wind power industry should...
54 per cent of all coal plants in the EU are running at a loss, and that figure is set to rise to an overwhelming 97 per cent by 2030, finds a new Carbon...
A new report shows that Sri Lanka could meet its current and future electricity demand through renewable energy alone by 2050. But it would take up to $50 billion in investments to achieve this....
California has invested heavily in recent years into expanding its solar capacity. The Golden State now sometimes produces so much solar power that it has to pay neighbouring states to accept its excess energy....
Floating wind farms can be used far away from shore and built larger than conventional offshore wind farms. The technology is now ready to be rolled out on an industrial, reports WindEurope. Costs are...
The LEGO group is now powered by 100 per cent renewable energy – three years ahead of schedule. Over the past four years, the toy building bricks company has invested close to USD 9...
The Finnish cleantech company Norsepower will outfit a Maersk Tanker vessel with two wind rotor sails by 2018. These are expected to reduce the ship’s fuel consumption by around 10 per cent. Wind power...
How much electricity flows through the grid? When and where? Where are the bottlenecks? What happens when wind turbines and solar cells feed in additional energy? The answer to these questions are essential for...
A Japanese company has built the world’s first typhoon-resistant wind turbine. The prototype is capable of transforming severe gales into electricity and could in theory harness enough energy from one tropical storm to power...
