A nanoporous material that holds hydrogen at twice the density of cryogenic liquid H2 could address the challenges of large-scale liquid and gas storage that have held this clean fuel back.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Hydrogen, Hydrog… Continue reading Ultra-high density hydrogen storage holds twice as much as liquid H2
A potentially game-changing and largely unexplored energy jackpot lies beneath the ocean floor, according to a whitepaper from geoscience tech consultancy CGG. Unique conditions under the sea bed promise cheaper and more accessible geothermal power.Con… Continue reading Massive geothermal potential found offshore, where the Earth splits
Solar cell efficiency may get a bump from bumps. New research suggests that building tiny domes into the surface of organic solar cells could boost their efficiency by up to two-thirds, while capturing light from a wider angle.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Bumpy solar cells could harvest up to 66% more energy
Geothermal development company Fervo Energy has announced impressive strides being made at its Cape Station facility in southern Utah. The results could lead to a quicker and more widespread uptake of this super-clean energy production process.Continue… Continue reading Advanced geothermal drilling is 70% faster and 50% cheaper than 2022
Minesto’s fully operational Dragon 12 looks like some sort of futuristic military drone – but it behaves remarkably like a kite underwater. It uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting renewable energy.Cont… Continue reading 28-ton, 1.2-megawatt tidal kite is now exporting power to the grid

Wave energy remains one of the least-exploited clean energy options, with huge potential as part of a green energy grid. Finland’s AW Energy is preparing to field a contender at scale – the Waveroller – which sits on the sea bed generating up to 1 MW.C… Continue reading WaveRoller sea-floor generator approaches commercial deployment
A Northwestern University team has demonstrated a remarkable new way to generate electricity, with a paperback-sized device that nestles in soil and harvests power created as microbes break down dirt – for as long as there’s carbon in the soil.Continue… Continue reading “Dirt-powered fuel cell” draws near-limitless energy from soil
We think of the power we generate as coming from all these different kinds of sources. Oil, gas, coal, nuclear, wind… so varied! And yet they all fundamentally come down …read more Continue reading Solar Chimneys: Viable Energy Solution Or A Lot Of Hot Air?
The world needs gargantuan amounts of clean energy moving forward, making this an area of colossal and growing opportunity for disruptive innovations. Here are some of the fascinating energy ideas and technologies that made us most hopeful in 2023.Cont… Continue reading There’s hope yet: Clean energy advances that inspired us in 2023
