The Australian National Maritime Museum has installed the country’s largest lightweight solar panel roof on its Wharf 7, Heritage Centre. By using flexible, glass-free solar panels from SunMan Energy, buildings which previously were considere… Continue reading Light, flexible panel burns the rule book on where PV can be installed
Back in 2012, Sweden’s Eco Wave Power started testing a wave energy harvesting system that could be installed on existing structures like breakwaters and piers. The company switched on its first grid-connected project four years later, and ha… Continue reading Eco Wave Power announces second grid-connected project
Two short years ago, Tesla pieced together the world’s largest battery for the state of South Australia, and with great effect. The company is continuing its moves in this space with a massive new battery dubbed the Megapack, of which it says… Continue reading Tesla outs new Megapack battery for massive, modular clean energy storage
Particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have made some groundbreaking discoveries for physics, like measuring the spectrum of antimatter or discovering the Higgs boson – but it’s hard to tell how exactly that benefits th… Continue reading The Large Hadron Collider will soon help heat nearby homes
One of the largest natural sources of renewable energy could be right under our feet – literally. The Earth itself is a big warm ball just waiting for us to tap into it, with vast stores of geothermal energy lying beneath Australia, the Unite… Continue reading New geothermal battery directly converts heat to electricity
Margot Krasojević’s futuristic aesthetic as well as the eco and energy efficiency considerations she incorporates into her projects makes for some fascinating concepts. The latest project from her London-based practice is a proposed crematori… Continue reading Eco-friendly solar crematorium proposed for Los Angeles
Abu Dhabi are claiming the title of the World’s largest single-site solar project, having hit the go-button on the Noor Abu Dhabi project this week, with a reported capacity of 1.177 gigawatts, eclipsing Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park – for now at least. The United Arab Emirates doesn’t have a great record when it comes to per-capita carbon footprint, but projects like this show that it’s serious about addressing the issue head-on.

The Valley’s rocky history with clean tech investing has been well-documented. Startups focused on non-emitting generation resources were once lauded as the next big cash cow, but the sector’s hype quickly got away from reality. Complex underlying science, severe capital intensity, slow-moving customers, and high-cost business models outside the comfort zones of typical venture capital, […] Continue reading Fintech and clean tech? An odd couple or a perfect marriage?
The process could help convert millions of tons of plastic we generate every year into an gasoline and diesel-like fuel. Continue reading Researchers Developed a Technique to Turn Nearly a Quarter of Our Plastic Waste into Fuel
Rare earth metals are used in solar panels and wind turbines—as well as electric cars and consumer electronics. We don’t recycle them, and there’s not enough to meet growing demand. Continue reading We Don’t Mine Enough Rare Earth Metals to Replace Fossil Fuels With Renewable Energy
