As markets open up in countries such as France and Poland, the offshore wind industry faces the same old questions on local jobs and investment.

There is nothing inherently wrong with internal combustion engines. The problem is the fuels we use to run them emit billions of tons of greenhouse gases every year, gases which cause the Earth to get hotter. The byproducts from burning gasoline or diesel fuel account for almost a third of all US greenhouse gas emissions […]
2019 was a year of consolidation rather than breakthroughs for clean energy technologies. Will 2020 be different? This year will likely be remembered as a period of technology consolidation rather than breakthrough innovation in the energy industry. Emerging industries such as offshore wind and lithium-ion battery storage have gone from strength to strength.
IKEA Transport & Logistics Services, CMA CGM Group, and the GoodShipping Program have successfully completed their 2019 biofuel test programme. This follows positive trials of heavy fuel oil-equivalent (HFO) biofuel oil (GoodFuels BFO) during CMA CGM Alexander Von Humboldt’s Europe-Asia trip in September and October 2019.
The floating wind farm off Maine’s coast could be operational by 2022. The technology could be a model for other states with deep waters, and deep local opposition.
The acceleration of offshore wind development in new markets boosted several countries in the latest renewable energy country attractiveness index (Recai) from advisors EY. Twice a year, EY release its attractiveness index for global energy markets marking them on policy, pipeline and investment climate. In its report, it also breaks down each country’s investment appeal […]
Researchers have developed ‘SUNbots’, which feature innovative ‘stems’ able to point solar panels directly towards light sources. That’s the suggestion from researchers at the University of California Los Angeles and Arizona State University, who have developed an innovative new type of solar technology they have christened SUNbots.
Latin America and the Caribbean could grow their installed solar capacity by a factor of 40 by 2050, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows. Annual investments exceeding $7bn would see the region’s solar PV capacity rise from 7 GW today, to more than 280 GW by mid-century.
More than two dozen countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America are set to benefit from a UN project to help tackle climate change through better forestry management. Under the scheme, announced on Monday by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 26 nations will soon be able to provide improved data on forest and land […]
The United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has been interested in developing a system that would harvest solar energy in space to be beamed back to Earth. The solar energy would be collected on a satellite in Earth’s orbit, there the energy would be converted into radio frequency so that it could be beamed […]
