The International Energy Agency (IEA)’s latest World Energy Outlook (WEO) describes the global energy system in 2030 as one in which clean energy technologies play an ever-increasing role. The report says the future of global energy will include nearly 10 times more electric cars worldwide, solar generating more electricity, low-emissions energy sources supplying more than […]
China’s CRRC Corporation Limited (CRRC) has developed the “most powerful” floating offshore wind turbine in the world, according to state news agency Xinhua. The turbine was produced in Yancheng city in Jiangsu Province and has a 20-megawatt (MW) generating capacity. The massive turbine has the ability to generate 62 million kilowatt hours of power annually, […]
With solar leading the way, renewables are on track to generate nearly 50 percent of global electricity this decade. But green energy is still predicted to fall short of the United Nations target of tripling capacity, according to Renewables 2024: Analysis and forecast to 2030, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). More than […]
The energy goals established last year at the United Nations’ COP28 climate conference held in Dubai of tripling renewable energy capacity worldwide by 2030 and slashing fossil fuel use are possible, according to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report.
