Of all renewable energy sources, marine energy (also called ocean, or maritime energy) is the one that still has the furthest to go to achieve commercial maturity. The most important advantage of marine energy is that it is a source of high energy density, which means that a large quantity of…
The next few decades will herald a global change in energy production. The age of renewables requires more than just photovoltaics and windmills: it needs storage systems in an unprecedented volume. However, conventional techniques of storage fail due to the high investments or the low efficiency. This appears to be…
This animation shall explain the biogas technique. You will be shown the process of a biogas plant from the delivery of feedstock to the output of the digestate. This biogas film is useful for everyone, who would like to plan or operate a biogas plant, no matter if you are farmer,…
Countries all over the world are leading the way towards a green economy. Unfortunately lobbying by the oil, gas, coal and nuclear industries are hindering progress. Very soon, perhaps even now depending on the cost of electricity in your area, solar technology will be more economically cost effective than traditional…
In four short years the energy storage market is expected to grow to be $10 billion size. That’s according to Lux Research. We track two of the top Canadian companies in the space working to get a piece of that $10 billion dollar pie. Renewable energy developers and grid operators…
Can wood chips save the world? That is the question that professor Ceulemans of the University of Antwerp and his team try to solve since 2010. On the largest bioenergy plant of Belgium, fast growing trees are planted that can grow up to seven meters high in two years. After…
