Rapid-deployment solar arrays cut energy cost up to 20%, says 5B

Australian company 5B has developed a hinged, folding solar array for ridiculously quick and easy installation at industrial scale. In May, 5B showed just how quick: a team of 10 covered the area of a soccer field with a 1.1-MW array in a single day.Co… Continue reading Rapid-deployment solar arrays cut energy cost up to 20%, says 5B

Minimum two-year setback for TerraPower’s advanced nuclear demonstrator

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

Eco Wave Power signs concession for world’s largest wave power station

Sweden’s Eco Wave Power has been proving its relatively simple, jetty-mounted wave energy devices for at least 10 years now, and has now inked a conditional deal for a 77-megawatt installation in Turkey – the world’s largest wave power plant.Continue R… Continue reading Eco Wave Power signs concession for world’s largest wave power station

Full-scale 5-MW floating “pyramid” wind turbine will be put to the test

Floating wind turbines are crucial to the future of offshore wind, and to bring energy costs down to a competitive level, they require radically different thinking. French company Eolink is starting to build a full-scale demonstrator of its innovative … Continue reading Full-scale 5-MW floating “pyramid” wind turbine will be put to the test

World’s largest green ammonia projects could clean up half the market

If all the major green ammonia projects on our shortlist are completed on schedule, their combined production total will be more than half of today’s global ammonia industry by the mid-2030s – eliminating nearly 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions.Co… Continue reading World’s largest green ammonia projects could clean up half the market

Swords to ploughshares: Hyme re-jigs old power plants for clean energy

Denmark’s Hyme Energy wants to save decommissioned fossil-fuel heat and power plants by repurposing them as super-cheap renewable energy storage and release facilities, using cutting-edge molten salt technology borrowed from the advanced nuclear sector… Continue reading Swords to ploughshares: Hyme re-jigs old power plants for clean energy

Caltech’s space solar project prepares for its first orbital prototype

Caltech’s wildly ambitious space solar project, buoyed by a massive hundred-million-dollar donation, is preparing to launch its first prototypes into orbit. These cutting-edge ultralight structures will collect, convert and wirelessly send energy.Conti… Continue reading Caltech’s space solar project prepares for its first orbital prototype

Giant, megawatt-scale wave energy generator to be tested in Scotland

Irish company OceanEnergy has already tested its oscillating water column generators at significant scale in Hawaii, and it’s just signed on to a four-year project to test, validate and commercialize its biggest unit yet off Orkney, in Scotland. The OE… Continue reading Giant, megawatt-scale wave energy generator to be tested in Scotland

Rooftop wind system delivers 150% the energy of solar per dollar

Aeromine says its unique “motionless” rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price, while taking up just 10% of the roof space and operating more or less silently. In independent tests, they seem legit.Cont… Continue reading Rooftop wind system delivers 150% the energy of solar per dollar
