Wind Industry enjoyed its second-best year but scaling-up for Net Zero requires policy breakthrough
Record years for several regions and offshore wind reflect strong market growth, but installations must still quadruple by the end of the decade to meet a net zero pathway.
New biodiesel strains offer measurable gains
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil is gaining popularity as a more environmentally friendly option for reducing emissions of diesel ICEs
Scientists achieve record efficiency for ultra-thin solar panels
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick (1μm), convert light into electricity more efficiently than others as thin.
Offshore Wind Farms Could Interfere With Radars
Environmentalists and marine professionals recognize a significant limitation with offshore wind farm expansions. Namely, ships are experiencing more frequent collisions. Wind farms are interfering with vessels' radar systems and creating safety challenges.
Hanwha pledges commitment to build a fully American solar supply chain
Hanwha Solutions to become the largest shareholder of Norway-based U.S. polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon after acquiring an additional 4.67% stake from Aker Horizons, increasing total investment to $204 million and ownership share to 21.34%.
How to clean solar panels without water
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Scientists Show Large Impact of Controlling Humidity on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
While the energy used to power air conditioners has clear implications on greenhouse gas emissions, the impact from removing moisture from the air has escaped in-depth study until now.
Should More Land Be Dedicated to Renewable Energy?
Renewables like wind and solar require at least 10 times more land per unit of power than coal or natural gas-fired plants. Yet, many people consider them more sustainable than fossil fuels because they don't directly emit greenhouse gasses.
Waterotor Unveils "The Big Cajun," a 20MW Hybrid Ocean Energy-Generating System
The 20-megawatt Big Cajun is the first hybrid ocean system that simultaneously extracts energy from slow-moving water and wind. This worldwide, patented technology utilizes unique rotor stacks in any water speed and conventional wind turbines to extract power.
Evaluating the Growth Trajectory for Electric Service Vehicle Adoption
The electric service vehicle market lags behind overall EV adoption. Vans and trucks accounted for just 1% of EV sales in 2020, raising the total to 400,000 globally.
Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin achieve record efficiency of 28.7% for 2-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
The joint achievement from Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin sets a new world record for 2-terminal tandem solar cell efficiency based on perovskite top-cell technology and using a mass-production-ready silicon bottom cell based on Q.ANTUM technology.
Beyond Fossil Carbon? Green Electricity Is Opening Doors to Low-Emission Alternatives for Making Fuels and Chemicals
With Extensive Data, Broad Analyses, and Detailed Models, NREL Scientists and Collaborators Stake the Boundaries of Producing Chemicals and Fuels From Carbon Dioxide, Biomass, and Renewable Electricity
What Is the Site Renewables Map for Energy Potential?
On February 8, the Nature Conservancy launched the Site Renewables Right map. The tool shows where the most impactful places to build new renewable energy infrastructure are within the central U.S.
Can the Salton Sea geothermal field prevent the coming lithium shortage?
University of California, Riverside scientists will join a first-of-its-kind effort to map out California's so-called "Lithium Valley," and learn whether it can meet America's urgent demand for lithium in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way.
Why Are Wind Turbines Getting Larger?
Larger devices produce more emission-free electricity than smaller variants. Sustainability policies and regulations, like the United Nations (UN) Paris Agreement, may influence wind power's continuous expansion.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
