There are still people talking up coal and talking down renewable energy but we have installed more solar panels and wind turbines than ever before Not since the invention of the steam engine have we seen the pace of change occurring in energy systems around the world. In Australia our electricity system is changing rapidly, […]
The country faltered in attaining its previous target but has since gained momentumWhen it comes to generating green energy, Bangladesh’s past performance has seen a mix of success and failure. The government did not attain its goal of generating five percent of the country’s electricity from renewable sources by 2015; but that did not deter […]
In 2018, much of the talk surrounding the renewable energy market, at least in the U.S., centered around uncertainty about renewable energy policies. Despite these worries, the resilient renewables sector performed well. Renewable energy has now reached a point where it can compete with fossil fuel technologies, regardless of subsidies, according to Ethan Zindler, head of […]
In the face of an international movement away from traditional fossil fuels and toward a greener future, many researchers around the world are rushing to find the next big breakthrough in the production of renewable resources, particularly via more and more efficient means of converting biomass. The latest headline to come from efforts of scientists […]
The Indian government is accelerating its programme of blending ethanol with petrol for two reasons: Our petroleum import bill is continuously increasing (we import more than 85 per cent of all our requirements) and two, we have surplus of sugar in India, which has no takers in the export market. The government is also encouraging the use […]
Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday released a new clean energy proposal that would reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions 25% below 1990 levels by 2035, eliminating over 80 million metric tons of carbon.The package of legislation addresses five policy goals: 100% clean energy by 2045, transitioning to electric transportation, adding a clean fuel standard, constructing […]
In the works to bid farewell to non-renewable energy, Egypt has taken 2018 to be its gateway to new and renewable energy, most prominently by building a hydroelectricity power plant, a nuclear power plant, a wind farm, and a solar power plant. Ending the year on a positive note, Egypt Today looks at these four power […]
Spain has set out plans to switch entirely to renewable electricity by 2050, with goals that go further than current European Union plans. Under the new strategy, greenhouse gas emissions from Spain would be cut by 90 per cent compared to 1990 levels by the middle of the century. The nation intends to invest massively in wind […]
Wind turbines can act as top predators in ecosystems by driving down populations of birds and triggering knock-on effects across food chains, according to a new study. Scientists found that predatory raptor birds were four times rarer in parts of an Indian mountain range covered in wind turbines, suggesting they were avoiding the structures. The same […]
