Overbuilding solar and wind yields a least-cost all-renewables grid
The global energy firm Wartsila modeled the least-cost renewables mix for all regions of the world, based on projected technology costs for 2030. The analysis shows that all regions require overbuilding of renewable capacity of up to four times. Contrary to popular belief, no seasonal storage is required, “only” four to ten days of multi-day storage capacity.
Sustainalize this! Pilot - Largest Renewable Project Ever?
Wow. At the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Kunming, President Xi announced what would be the largest solar and wind project ever. At a whopping 400 GW, it would produce more renewable energy than the United States. What would it mean? How does it compare? Why does it matter to you?
China announces the biggest solar and wind farm ever
Wow. At the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Kunming, President Xi announced a 400 gigawatts solar and wind project. This one project would be more than the entire wind and solar capacity installed in the United States.
Introducing Oceanbird – the wind powered cargo vessel
Pioneering an innovative wind-powered propulsion technology, Wallenius Marine is launching Oceanbird as a next-generation, sustainable transport vessel. Here’s Carl-Johan Söder Naval Architect & Project Manager for Oceanbird with perspective on how Oceanbird promises to smash the International Maritime Organisation’s climate emission targets.
Will Renewables end up as landfill?
Solar and Wind energy are growing at a truly astonishing pace on every continent. But in the race for global supremacy in the power generation sector have we neglected to consider how we will deal with millions of panels and turbines when they come to the end of their useful lives? Are we storing up yet another environmental problem?
The Sky Is The Limit For Clean Energy Subsidies In Europe
Europe and China double-down on renewables, investing hundreds of billions into electric vehicles, solar, wind and hydrogen. Not despite the corona crisis, but fueled by it.
