Solar Energy UK has joined forces with fellow UK energy trade associations representing networks, generators, retailers and the supply chain to urge the Government to seize the opportunity to deliver a green economic recovery and build on Britain’s emerging reputation as a leader in renewable energy.
Joint-venture partners Ørsted and Eversource have announced a $1,250,000 grant in support of Mystic Aquarium, one of Connecticut's premier cultural and research institutions. The grant will create a brand new, state-of-the-art exhibit centered around the potential of ocean wind energy, support innovative research that will improve the understanding of marine mammals and their habitats throughout New England and bring hands-on educational and career opportunities to students in the region.
Aerial inspection services and software company Above has announced a project with the Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering department at Loughborough University (LU) and the University of Essex (UoE) aimed at enhancing the research and development of autonomous UAVs for solar plant inspections.
California Ethanol + Power (CE+P) has announced that its Sugar Valley Energy advanced biofuel project has been verified for Green Bond Financing through the alignment of the project with the Green Bond Principles established by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA).Â
The battle against climate change is dire but not hopeless if the world embraces the many financial, technical, and societal risks involved in transitioning from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources. That was the overall takeaway from a seminar on the risks associated with geothermal energy—the power beneath our feet.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced its support of a new nationwide campaign to drastically cut carbon emissions and energy use from heating water with advanced heat pump technology. The Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) will work nationally to drive increased manufacturing, sales, installations, and operation of heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) across the United States. HPWHs are game-changing products that are two to four times more efficient than conventional options.
Estonian cleantech startup, PowerUP Energy Technologies has announced a partnership with Russian sailor Irina Gravecha where Irina is using the UP400 hydrogen fuel cell generator along with solar panels to meet her boat’s power needs during her races.
International aircraft leasing company Avolon and advanced electric vertical take-off and landing (‘eVTOL’) company Vertical Aerospace have announced a $2 billion order for up to 500 electric eVTOL aircraft, introducing the ultra-short-haul aircraft category to commercial aviation.
According to the International Energy Agency’s annual report (Oct 13th 2020), solar power is now cheaper than electricity generated by coal and natural gas in most countries. This is kick-starting a profound global change from fossil to renewable energy, despite Covid-19, in which renewable energy is estimated to supply 80 percent of the total power generation in 2030.
Iberdrola, un parque solar de quinientos megavatios en Badajoz (500 MW); Endesa, un complejo de más de mil en Teruel; Cobra (Grupo ACS), otros casi 500 MW en Murcia... Frente a los megaparques solares, la Asociación de Productores de EnergÃa Fotovoltaica (Anpier) propone una transición energética sustentada sobre instalaciones de menos de 5 MW. Estos miniparques evitan los costes derivados del desarrollo de las grandes infraestructuras que serán necesarias para atender las necesidades de los megaparques (abaratando asà el recibo de la luz), evitan pérdidas en el transporte, le dan firmeza al sistema y aportan garantÃa de suministro. Asà lo explica Anpier.
