For the first time, a surge in China’s renewable energy output has led to a drop in the country’s carbon emissions, despite rapidly increasing power demand. The emissions decline marks a major milestone in China’s energy transition, according to an analysis by Lauri Myllivirta, lead analyst and co-founder of the Center for Research on Energy […]
Democratic attorneys general from 17 states and the District of Columbia have filed a lawsuit in Boston federal court to attempt to block President Donald Trump’s plan to suspend permitting and leasing of new wind energy projects. Plaintiffs say the action unlawfully threatens the wind industry, a major source of clean energy. “This administration is […]
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday filed lawsuits against Michigan and Hawaii over their planned legal actions against fossil fuel companies for the harm their greenhouse gas emissions caused by contributing to the climate crisis. The lawsuits — which are unprecedented, according to legal experts — claim there is a conflict between […]
In President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, his executive orders, tariffs and attacks on clean energy have reversed momentum for clean energy jobs and manufacturing, which had experienced a boom over the past two years. A new report from environmental advocacy group Climate Power shows that 95 clean energy projects have been delayed, […]
A 426-foot-long electric ship — the largest of its kind in the world — launched from Tasmania this week, marking a milestone in the clean energy transition for maritime shipping. The Hull 096 boat, called China Zorrilla after the famous actress from Uruguay, was made by Incat Tasmania for operation by Buquebus. According to Incat, […]
Nearly all newly constructed homes in the United Kingdom will be required to install rooftop solar panels under the Labour Government’s new net-zero plans. The solar panels will need to be fitted on most new homes within two years of the start of construction, reported The Guardian. “We have always been clear that we want […]
Divya Tyagi, a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), has revised a 100-year-old math equation to improve modeling for wind turbine efficiency. Tyagi used a century-old equation originally developed by aerodynamicist Hermann Glauert. Glauert created the equation to find the maximum power coefficient to determine optimum rotating actuator disk performance, and this initial […]
In Switzerland, a solar technology startup is making use of open spaces between railway tracks to place solar panels. The panels can collect solar power, even with trains using the railway throughout the day. Sunways, a photovoltaic inverter manufacturer, is piloting a new solar project on active railway tracks in Switzerland’s canton of Neuchâtel. The […]
China’s National Energy Administration has announced that the country’s solar and wind energy capacity has exceeded that of thermal energy — which is mostly coal-powered — for the first time. The largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, China has pledged to achieve peak carbon emissions by the end of the decade and become carbon […]
