A research programme which brings together academia and industry to address renewable energy challenges has delivered benefits topping an estimated £200 million. The Technology and Innovation Centre Low Carbon Power and Energy Programme links the University of Strathclyde’s technical expertise to the low carbon energy sector and is funded by…

Energy storage can help mitigate climate change, but it is still on low levels and needs to triple by 2050 to keep global warming below 2°C.  To do this we need to look at innovative ways of speeding up the process. Could energy-storage-as-a-service be one of the solutions?  Reforming our…

Washington DC – Renewable energy sources (i.e., biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) accounted for 18.49% of net domestic electrical generation during the first eight months of 2019, according to a SUN DAY Campaign analysis of just-released data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). A year earlier, renewables’ share was…

With a construction time of only six months, the biomethane plant of Lanes Farm Energy near Pontefract, West Yorkshire, Uk went live on time. “We are very happy and proud to hand over this plant to our customer within less than a year after signing the contract,” says Wolfgang Bokern,…

Thanks to its iconic skyline, cutting-edge architecture, and plans for passenger drones and Hyperloop trains – to many of us, Dubai is known as a city of the future. Hand-in-hand with this rapid pace of development is the need to fuel its continuing growth, and rather than tax its natural…

Ageing wind assets, growing corporate demand and limited appetite for full repowering are favoring lifetime extension projects, increasing the importance of performance analysis. European lifetime extension (LTE) activity is set to hike in the coming years as feed-in tariffs expire and wind operators seek to maximize revenues from ageing assets.…

A new form of energy storage – which uses massive weights in disused mine shafts – could store green energy more cheaply than batteries, an industry reports says. Edinburgh start-up Gravitricity has patented their multi-weight system, which uses up to 24 weights totalling 12,000 tonnes stacked in a mine shaft,…...

Seoul/Madrid/Oslo, 17 October, 2019 – WindPower Korea, EDP Renewables and Aker Solutions have formed a consortium with the ambition to develop an initial 500MW floating wind farm off the coast of Ulsan Metropolitan City in South Korea. The consortium was formed as EDP Renewables, one of the top wind energy…

Additional government support and continued trade links with Europe are needed to ensure the UK remains a global leader in the deployment of floating offshore wind, according to a new report. Floating wind turbines are designed to generate power in deep ocean waters, typically where turbines fixed to the ocean floor…

Interreg France (Channel) England Programme has approved the biggest ever Interreg project that will prove to be game-changing for the European tidal stream energy sector. The Tidal Stream Industry Energiser Project, known as TIGER, is an ambitious €46.8m project, of which €28m (69%) comes from the European Regional Development Fund…
