US energy infrastructure mapped by Baker Institute
Interactive tool aims to improve analysis of country’s capabilities HOUSTON – A new, interactive energy map for the United States has just been released by Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy, providing an open-source visualization of the country’s energy infrastructure and demography designed to highlight the intersection of energy, environment, policy and society. The map, titled Energy, Environment and Policy in the U.S., displays the nation’s critical energy infrastr...
Conservative Energy Network Poll Shows Broad Support for Community Solar
LANSING, MI– A new nationwide poll released by the Conservative Energy Network shows broad support across political parties for government action on clean energy development, including 86% support for community solar projects as a way to increase America’s supply of clean, domestically-produced energy. These results are consistent with polling conducted in multiple states demonstrating high favorability among conservative voters. “This polling makes clear that clean energy can be a winning i...
UK rare-earth-free innovator GreenSpur receives generator order from US firm Wind Harvest
The delivery of three patented 70kW rare-earth-free generators in mid-2022 will support Wind Harvest’s vertical axis wind turbine design ambitions UK firm GreenSpur Wind has today confirmed an order for three 70kW rare-earth-free permanent magnet direct drive generators to Wind Harvest International of the United States. The transaction represents a first US sale for GreenSpur. Its unique ferrite-based generator technology eliminates the need for high cost and supply constrained rare-ear...
Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc. Delivers Critical Pollution and Waste Control Systems for Biogas Industry
Ship & Shore System comprised of Thermal Oxidizer, Scrubber, and a series of Lead Lag Vessels Long Beach, CA – As energy prices continue to rise and green energy mandates increasingly shape commercial economics, the world needs all of the non-fossil fuel sources it can get. Biogas remains an attractive way to extract energy from cast-off waste material, but the process contains known pollution risks. Over the years, Ship & Shore Environmental (S&SE), a multinational environmental po...
Manufacturers Cut 17 Million Metric Tons of Greenhouse Emissions with Help from EPA’s ENERGY STAR® program
LENEXA, KAN. — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrates the 580 manufacturing plants that achieved the energy savings goals set out by EPA 10 years ago to drive energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Through the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, manufacturing plants agreed to reduce energy intensity by 10 percent within five years. These 580 plants nearly doubled this goal On average, plants that met this challenge reduced their energy intensity...
Lhyfe and DORIS sign a memorandum of understanding to launch the first floating wind turbine for integration with a hydrogen production system
Paris / Nantes (France), - Following a 12-month-long joint R&D programme focused on developing economically viable offshore green hydrogen production solutions, Lhyfe, a world pioneer and pure player in renewable green hydrogen production, and DORIS, an integrated engineering and project management group and a leader in offshore technology, have decided to become official partners to step up their work on offshore hydrogen production. Together they plan to launch the first floating wind turbine...
Video: Ultrathin Solar Cells Get a Boost
Rice University engineers have achieved a new benchmark in the design of atomically thin solar cells made of semiconducting perovskites, boosting their efficiency while retaining their ability to stand up to the environment. Read more at https://news.rice.edu/news/2021/ultra...
Ultrathin solar cells get a boost
A two-dimensional coat of a perovskite compound is the basis for an efficient solar cell that might stand up to environmental wear and tear, unlike earlier perovskites. Engineers at Rice University raised the photovoltaic efficiency of 2D perovskites by up to 18%. (Credit: Jeff Fitlow/Rice University) Rice lab finds 2D perovskite compound has the right stuff to challenge bulkier products HOUSTON – (Nov. 22, 2021) – Rice University engineers have achieved a new benchmark in the design...
EV Charging Sessions to Exceed 1.5 Billion by 2026 Globally, as Mass Electrification Drives Infrastructure Requirements
A new study from Juniper Research has found the global volume of EV charging sessions, where an EV’s battery is charged using a charging point, will exceed 1.5 billion per annum in 2026, from just 200 million in 2021. This remarkable growth rate of more than 665% over the next five years will be driven by greater government incentives for electric vehicles, as well as more widespread charging service availability. The research identified incentives for EV ownership as having significantly inc...
Hydropower will continue to dominate annual power generation in Canada to 2030, says GlobalData
Hydropower held a share of 60.2% in total annual generation in Canada in 2020 and this share is expected to marginally decline to 58% in 2030; however, it will continue to hold the dominant share in Canada’s generation mix, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Rohit Ravetkar, Power Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Canada is among the global leaders in hydropower generation, with several provinces in the country, including British Colombia, Quebec, and Manitoba, generati...
