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
As anyone who’s ever witnessed a bolt of lightning streaking through the sky knows, the air around us can be filled with an astonishing amount of energy. A new study shows that some of this energy can be harvested using a simple perforated nanofilm tha… Continue reading Tiny holes key to making lightning-like energy from air, says study
URB, a developer of sustainable cities, has unveiled its plans for what is being billed as “the world’s largest ocean restoration project” on the Dubai coast, called Dubai Reefs.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: sustainable design, Oc… Continue reading Dubai Reefs: World’s largest ocean restoration project unveiled
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
It’s been clear for a long time that the world has to move away from fossil energy sources. Decades ago, this seemed impractical, when renewable energy was hugely expensive, and …read more Continue reading New Renewable Energy Projects Are Overwhelming US Grids
As society transitions toward renewable energy sources, energy storage inevitably comes to mind. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found one way to store renewable energy that …read more Continue reading AGES of Renewable Energy Storage
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
Perovskites are one of the most promising new materials for solar cell technology. Now engineers at the University of Rochester have developed a new way to more than triple the material’s efficiency by adding a layer of reflective silver underneath it…. Continue reading Silver mirror triples efficiency of perovskite solar cells
Smart energy tech developer SolarEdge is inviting thousands of home battery owners to join Britain’s first Battery Virtual Power Plant, where stored energy will be used to help stabilize the grid during peak demand events.Continue ReadingCategory: Ener… Continue reading Battery Virtual Power Plant launches to help with electricity grid stability
The state that built the world’s first grid-level “big battery” is striking out on an even more ambitious green energy project: the world’s biggest hydrogen power station, fed by an electrolysis facility 10 times larger than anything running today.Cont… Continue reading South Australia plans world’s largest electrolyzer and H2 power plant
