Scientists have said that, in order to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, all or almost all of coal burning must cease by 2050. Yet in 2022, China produced a record amount of coal at 4.496 billion tonnes, which is nine percent […]
It’s no secret that the cost of fracked gas has skyrocketed. If you’re looking for ways to save money on energy costs this winter, turn to the sun. Solar ovens aren’t just a fun science project, but a legitimate way to cook outdoors, even during the coldest months. The average electric oven/stove contributes roughly $150 […]
Massive failures of methane gas- and coal-fired power plants during “Winter Storm Elliott” left PJM — the country’s largest grid operator — more than 40 gigawatts short over the Christmas weekend, officials said during a public meeting Wednesday. Methane gas plant failures accounted for 70% of PJM’s total outages, with some plants giving little or […]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge announced Monday that they had developed the first-ever solar-powered system that could convert two types of waste into two different chemicals at the same time, in this case, carbon dioxide and plastics.
The future looks bright for the solar industry in the U.S., with average yearly growth predicted to be 21 percent from 2023 to 2027, thanks to the passage of last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Solar Energy Industries Association reported. Companies that make solar panel components are eligible to claim tax credits under the […]
Major brands in the tech and auto industries, including Google, Ford and General Motors, along with solar energy companies, like SunPower and Sunrun, have joined a coalition led by global energy transformation nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). The mission of this Virtual Power Plant Partnership (VP3)? To standardize and create policies for virtual power plants. […]
A propane industry group is paying DIY influencers to promote propane and oppose building electrification using funds the GAO has repeatedly warned are not permissible for those purposes, The New York Times reports based on a public information request by the Energy and Policy Institute. The Propane Education and Research Council uses the $40 million […]
Floating solar farms are solar panels that are installed on the surface of bodies of water — such as lakes and reservoirs — to save space on land or provide electricity to remote locations. Now, engineers and scientists are beginning to develop ways to put solar farms on the surface of the ocean to bring […]
SparkCharge, an electric vehicle charging system and network developer, has developed a mobile charging station to service vehicle fleets, a first-of-its-kind product that serves as part of the company’s Charging as a Service (CaaS) network. SparkCharge recently debuted the mobile charging fleet services solution at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023. The mobile charging station will […]
