Google has announced that its innovative advanced geothermal plant in Nevada is now operational and connected to the grid, pioneering an approach that promises to unlock clean, always-on geothermal energy across a much larger range of locations.Continu… Continue reading Google switches on first-of-its-kind advanced geothermal project
While most of us will never bear witness to them, many of the world’s smallest organisms have some incredible means of survival. Some soil bacteria, for example, can gobble up hydrogen from the air and use it for fuel if starved of any other food.Conti… Continue reading Clean energy breakthrough as electricity is produced out of thin air
Russia is the only country that sells the HALEU fuel that some next-generation nuclear plants will rely on, and with sanctions now in place due to the war in Ukraine, TerraPower has now conceded its demo timeline will blow out by at least two years.Con… Continue reading Minimum two-year setback for TerraPower’s advanced nuclear demonstrator
Renewable energy potential is not distributed evenly. Japan, for example, has sub-par solar potential and nowhere near the wind potential of Western Europe or the United States. It’s also currently ranked fifth in the world for electricity consumption,… Continue reading Japan tests deep-ocean current turbines in search of new renewables
In a world first, a team at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has demonstrated measurable power generation from “the inverse of a conventional solar cell.” It could eventually produce around one tenth as much power as a solar panel – but at nigh… Continue reading Bizarre night-time solar cell generates power in a backwards process
Half of the solar energy that bathes the Earth in warmth goes into a single process, according to some researchers: evaporating the water that covers some 71 percent of our fragile blue marble. Australian company Strategic Elements wants that energy ba… Continue reading Self-charging moisture battery promises sweat-powered wearables
Scientists at Australia’s Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to eliminate nearly two percent of global greenhouse emis… Continue reading Green ammonia electrolysis breakthrough could finally kill Haber-Bosch
The hydrogen industry is gearing up to play an important role in the global transition to clean energy – particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and steel production. As it grows, you’re going to start hearing more about colors. Black hydro… Continue reading Report slams “blue hydrogen” as worse for the climate than gas or coal
As renewable energy generation grows, so does the need for new storage methods that can be used at times when the Sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. A Scottish company called Gravitricity has now broken ground on a demonstrator facility for a… Continue reading Prototype gravity-based energy storage system begins construction
When the US Air Force’s X-37B autonomous spaceplane launched into orbit for the sixth time this week, it was carrying an experiment to explore the potential for beaming solar energy from space to Earth. The Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module (… Continue reading X-37B spaceplane experiment to test tech for beaming solar power to Earth
