According to a recent analysis from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. produced a record amount of energy last year, totaling 103 quadrillion British thermal units (BTUs). The amount of energy produced in 2024 surpassed the previous record set in 2023 by 1%. However, while U.S. energy production is up, including for solar […]
State action to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change can make a big difference, even in the absence of a strong federal climate strategy, according to a new study led by researchers from North Carolina State University (NC State). The researchers found that, while state measures to tackle climate change are just slightly more […]
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 […]
Australia’s main power grid saw a substantial rise in renewable energy generation — including solar and wind — over the past year. According to Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)’s Quarterly Energy Dynamics Report, the grid produced 43 percent of the electricity used across the Australian Capital Territory and five eastern states between January and March. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A new report has found that 40.9% of global electricity production last year came from “clean,” low-carbon energy sources such as solar and wind power. This number is up from the 39.4% share clean energy had of the total electricity generation mix in 2023. According to the sixth annual Global Electricity Review from Ember, total […]
