Three Gorges Energy has connected the world’s first 16-megawatt monster offshore wind turbine to the power grid. With a mind-boggling 260-meter (853-ft) rotor diameter, this towering colossus will supply clean energy for about 36,000 Chinese homes.

Fervo’s “next-generation geothermal” technology has proven itself in testing, becoming the most productive enhanced geothermal plant in history. The company hopes its approach will radically expand access to clean energy, like shale did for oil.Continu… Continue reading Fervo heralds a revolution in geothermal power technology
The intense heat under the Earth’s surface represents a virtually inexhaustible source of reliable clean energy that would be available 24/7 from anywhere on Earth – you could pull it up as steam to run generator turbines, or pipe it directly into dist… Continue reading “Walking” anchor and plasma drill promise cheap, deep geothermal power
Japanese company PowerX is moving ahead with its strange plan to build a “mobile power station” in the form of a 140-meter (460-ft) electric “battery tanker,” which will carry 241 megawatt-hours of renewable energy across the sea over short distances.C… Continue reading Bizarre 460-foot “battery tanker” set to ship electrons by 2026
In an outrageously audacious move, Washington-based fusion power startup Helion has signed the world’s first fusion power supply deal, promising to deliver Microsoft at least 50 megawatts of clean fusion power by 2028, or pay financial penalties.Contin… Continue reading Helion to supply Microsoft with fusion power by 2028, or pay penalties
As we’ve discussed many times before, offshore wind represents an enormous opportunity for clean energy, but some of the best resources are out in deep water, where sinking a shaft straight into the sea bed becomes prohibitively expensive and difficult… Continue reading Pivoting arms could stabilize massive floating offshore wind turbines
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
A team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Myongji University, both located in Seoul, has published a new paper describing an “electricity generation and purification membrane for water recycling.”Continue ReadingCategory: Tec… Continue reading Water purification membrane generates electricity as it filters
We’ve spoken to this California company before about its impressive progress and ambitious plans in the fusion power space. With more than US$1.2 billion in investments behind it, TAE has come in ahead of schedule with results from its fifth-generation… Continue reading TAE makes world-first readings of magnetically-confined H-B fusion
The strongest winds tend to be higher up, but as this 2022 study shows, higher-mounted turbines catching stronger wind doesn’t necessarily equate to the lowest cost of energy. Indeed, once you factor in the costs of stronger foundations and taller, stu… Continue reading GE installs world’s first spiral-welded wind turbine tower
