Energy production is a major source of global carbon dioxide emissions. Switching to renewable energy sources would result in significant reductions in emissions. A new report concludes that even though the necessary technology and infrastructure is available to increase the use of renewable energy, ineffective approaches and disapproving attitudes are still holding us back. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed that the most severe effects of global warming can be avoided if action is taken now. Air pollution is one of the largest challenges for cities across the world. Converting to renewable energy is highly effective…

Back in 2015, automaker Tesla Motors set its sights on the home energy storage market and announced the launch of its home battery product, the Tesla Powerwall. In the past, Tesla Motors has been praised for making high-quality electric vehicles, as well as for their ability to reimagine and successfully rebrand existing technologies. In fact, while Tesla’s automobiles revitalized the 21st-century electric vehicle market, the first electric cars were invented more than a hundred years earlier. Tesla’s rebranding of residential-use batteries is in line with their legacy of reimagining existing products. Tesla’s battery may represent the first time in history that…
Herbert Smith Freehills has advised Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) on its acquisition and development of the Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant which, when operational, will be one of the UK and Europe’s largest energy-from-waste (EfW) plants. The £480 million Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant project has been given the green light for construction by owners CIP (60 percent) and FCC Environment (40 percent) after the project reached financial close on 26 March 2019. Headquartered in Denmark, CIP is a fund management company focused on energy infrastructure including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV, biomass and EfW, transmission and distribution, and other energy assets such…
Around three-quarters of US coal production is now more expensive than solar and wind energy in providing electricity to American households, according to a new study. “Even without major policy shift we will continue to see coal retire pretty rapidly,” said Mike O’Boyle, the co-author of the report for Energy Innovation, a renewables analysis firm. “Our analysis shows that we can move a lot faster to replace coal with wind and solar. The fact that so much coal could be retired right now shows we are off the pace.” The study’s authors used public financial filings and data from the Energy Information…
