Shipping giant Maersk is teaming up with Danish energy company Ørsted on a new venture hoped to cut into the carbon emissions generated by vessels idling offshore. Their solution is a purpose-built charging buoy that supplies power to ships moored over… Continue reading Offshore charging buoy to cut into carbon emissions of idling ships
As useful as renewable energy sources are, they need to be backed up by storage systems that hold energy for times when the Sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. Ocean Battery is a new design for an energy storage system that functions a bit lik… Continue reading Ocean Battery stores renewable energy at the bottom of the sea
Laying a path for a more solarized future, Silicon Valley’s GAF Energy has launched the Timberline Solar charging system at CES 2022. Replacing the rack-mounted panels on which traditional residential roof solar systems rely, Timberline Energy Shingles… Continue reading Nailable Timberline Energy Shingles aim to popularize home solar
NYC-based designer Joe Doucet doesn’t see why renewable energy generation shouldn’t actively make a home more beautiful, so he’s putting together a series of “kinetic walls” using rotary wind turbines to achieve some hypnotic visual effects.Continue Re… Continue reading “Wind turbine wall” turns power generation into an aesthetic feature
The switch has been flicked on a wind farm off the shore of the UK of unprecedented scale, with Danish energy firm Orsted announcing that Hornsea 2 has produced its first power. It is expected to become fully operational next year as the world’s bigges… Continue reading World’s largest offshore wind farm generates its first power
Fossil fuel tankers that transport oil, gas and coal across the seas play an important part in the global energy mix, but one Japanese startup is eyeing a future where these types of vessels carry a much cleaner load. PowerX’s Power ARK vessels are des… Continue reading PowerX’s battery-packed ships to fetch energy from off-shore wind farms
Devices known as flow batteries attract a lot of attention from scientists looking for affordable solutions for grid-scale energy storage, but are they affordable enough? A team at MIT believes there is room for improvement on this front, and has devel… Continue reading Ice-cream-like electrode may unlock cheap storage for renewable energy
