Hydroelectricity can provide massive electricity and Niagara Falls is a perfect example, However several companies have developed small hydropower systems that can be used for a home or scaled for commercial farm.
Iceland is the planet’s Green Capital with almost 100% of its electricity derived from geothermal or hydro. Geothermal has several uses beyond producing electricity including heating for buildings, greenhouses, homes and snow-free sidewalks and roads.
There is an exciting source of heat for electricity right below our feet. Tapping into Earth’s natural heat is a renewable, clean energy source.
12,000 mirrors concentrate sunlight onto a receiver at the molten salt solar thermal power plant in Dunhuang, China. The facility was designed to produce electricity 24/7 and generate 390 million kWh annually.
The concept is based upon Masdar research, which used parabolic mirrors to focus light on sand to heat and use the stored heat for future power generation.
Hanergy thin film, curved solar roof tiles offer maximum yield under all circumstances.
The world’s top 5 floating solar plants and their numerous advantages. South Korea uses a system to track the sun that increases energy by 20%. China has the world’s largest (the size of 121 football fields) with capacity of 40 magawatts. India’s largest……
BP Lightsource (global leader in development, acquisition and management of solar projcts) hooked-up with a solar farm in South Essex, UK in November 2019 to successfully test tweeking the power plant’s inverters to provide energy from the solar farm at night.
Easy, practical cleaning machine for floating solar panels.
12GW of wind energy!!! Denmark to meet its commitment to phase-out oil production by 2050 is in the process of designing an artificial island with the capacity to initially generate 3GW of electricity from wind for export with the potential to increase the production to 10GW. A second island is also being designed for an additional 2GW.
Wind turbines may seem monolithic, however you’d be surprise what a bit of dust, ice or even salt water can do to the blades and aerodynamic performance. Scientists are aware of these problems and are working on better materials and short term fixes…
Scotland has some of the strongest underwater currents in Europe, which the Meygen Project plans to harness with tidal energy turbines. The tides are so predictable that SIMEC Atlantis knows exactly how much energy will be generated every 15 minutes for the next 25 years.
Tidal energy off the west coast of the US has the potential to provide nearly half of the total US energy supply; 250 TWh/yr.
Challenergy, founded by Atsushi Simizu has developed a wind turbine to harness the energy of typhoons. The typhoon turbine has vertical blades and an omnidirectional axis to respond to winds coming from every direction…
Heliogen’s mission is to commercialise ultra-high temperature solar derived alternative to replace fossil fuels for industrial processes such as cement or steel making, Heliogen also produces at scale hydrogen. Heliogen was created at Idealab, a leading global technology incubator.
Decarbonizing heavy industry has been difficult, because these industries require heat at temperatures above 1,500° Celsius. This new battery can deliver these temperatures and /or electricity…..
Google is betting on geothermal as part of their portfolio of clean energies to meet zero emissions by 2030. Its new geothermal plant uses a horizonal drilling technique used in the fracking industry that has greatly increased power output….
The Texas company, SolarCycle is developing the machinery and techniques to recycle solar panels and recuperate all of the valuable metals and glass, which can be sold to industries….
Fifty kilometers south of Dubai, the Mohammed bin Rashid Maktoum Solar Park spans thirty square miles and set a new world record-low tariff of $5.89 per kilowatt hour in 2023. The site will generate 5 GW by 2030……
The mammoth windfarm under construction at Dogger Bank off the coast of Yorkshire will generate a substantial portion of the UK’s electricity and provide a combined capacity of 3.6GW…
Residential or commercial buildings, wind turbines offer interesting energy harvesting possibilities…
Wave energy’s potential is enormous; the surf is always up 24/7. However, ocean energy comes with some challenges, which several companies have taken head-on…
