Solar and other clean energy groups are embracing several wins – and noting some defeats – for the renewable energy industry as a result of the midterm election on Tuesday.
For one, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) says it welcomes all the newly elected officials who are expected to “play a critical role in solar energy’s future in the U.S.”
Solar power has been lauded as the answer to moving away from fossil fuel dependent power supplies. However, having consistent access to solar power has proven difficult due to issues with storing for long periods of time.
These problems might just be about to be solved though. A series of new research papers have outlined the use of a novel approach to storing the suns energy.
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China’s newly added solar power capacity fell nearly 20 percent year on year for the January to September period, official data showed on Tuesday, hit by government efforts to reduce its spiraling subsidy bill by slashing new project approvals.
Photovoltaic solar energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the world. Currently China, India, and the US produce the majority of the global solar power, with the Middle East coming on strong. Growth is booming — especially in the deserts of Asia and the Middle East, where huge solar farms are in the process of being built and expanded. To give you a taste of just how rapidly the adoption of solar power is expanding, we’ve profiled five of the largest solar plants currently in operation. Enjoy!
A team of solar energy researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, has been awarded $1.35 million from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office to continue its work toward increasing the efficiency and lifetime of photovoltaic modules—specifically aimed at pushing their lifespan to 50 years.
The third day of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference on Thursday provided an excellent opportunity to listen to Nadhmi Al-Nasr, the new CEO of Neom. It is planned that this giga city, unveiled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the FII conference last year, will run entirely on renewable energy — making it the largest city in the world to do so — to reduce its dependency on crude oil. Though Iceland and Norway claim to be close to achieving entirely renewable electrical grids in some of their cities, they do not compare in scale to Neom.
A kozármislenyi háztartások egyharmada zöld energiát használ majd a nemrég átadott naperőműparknak köszönhetően, ami azért is fontos, mert a város szeretne csatlakozni a klímavédelmi stratégiához.
