In a “profound shift,” a new analysis by nonprofit think tank InfluenceMap has found that companies in the European Union increasingly support climate action, a change analysts said challenges the narrative of businesses viewing green regulations as a threat to their profits. The report — European Industry and the EU’s Climate Policy 2024–29 — found […]
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 […]
New research detailed in The Conversation provides five ways cities can better cope with and become more resilient to climate change through progressive climate adaptation. The world’s societies, economies and ecosystems are under imminent threat from climate breakdown. But, due to what the United Nations has termed an “adaptation gap,” many countries and cities are […]
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 […]
A new report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has found that the world added 117 gigawatts of global wind energy capacity for 2024, matching the 117 gigawatts added in 2023. In its report, GWEC had promising outlooks, including a record high wind energy capacity globally and an estimated 1 terawatt of wind energy […]
No fossil fuel interest or government can stop the world from working toward a clean energy future, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said on Wednesday after holding a closed-door virtual meeting with 17 heads of government and state. Participants in the meeting included Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of China Xi Jinping […]
A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) says there will be a steep rise in the electricity needed to power AI data processing, which will use more power in the United States by 2030 than the manufacturing of all other energy-intensive goods, including cement, aluminum, steel and chemicals. In the world’s advanced economies, […]
