UN Chief Explains Why Transitioning to Clean Energy is Smart Economics

Transitioning to renewable energy is not only critical for the environment, UN Secretary-General António Guterres says, it is also smart economics. The UN official emphasized that economic realities are now accelerating the green transition and making it “unstoppable” during an online address titled ‘A Moment of Opportunity'. He noted that the rapid decline in renewable energy costs helped the world add record amounts of new clean energy capacity last year. Renewables now compete with fossil fuels like oil and natural gas in terms of cost, scale, and economic impact. The UN chief’s comments coincided with the release of two major…

Biogas Could Be the Unsung Hero in Transitioning to Clean Energy

Several countries worldwide are increasingly incorporating biogas into their energy mixes as a replacement for fossil fuels. European nations such as Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom are making biogas, a gaseous renewable energy typically produced from agricultural materials, a key part of their energy strategies as they work to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and meet decarbonization goals. Also referred to as renewable natural gas (RNG), biogas is also gaining popularity in the United States and Canada thanks to capital investments from large gas utilities and transportation-related credits. In addition to helping the U.S. and other…

Google, Energy Dome Partner to Deploy Advanced Renewable Energy Storage Globally

Google has teamed up with energy storage startup Energy Dome to deploy advanced renewable energy storage infrastructure worldwide and help address one of the key problems facing renewables: intermittency. The tech giant recently signed a long-term agreement with the Italian energy storage company that will see Google support Energy Dome’s deployment of its advanced long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology on a global scale, providing one of the critical resources needed to facilitate the transition from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives. Intermittency is one of the main challenges involved in adopting renewables like solar and wind energy. Although they are significantly…

Japan Leans on Flexible, Ultra-Lightweight Solar Panels to Accelerate Energy Transition

Japan will leverage flexible and ultra-lightweight solar panels to accelerate its transition to green energy, strengthen its competitiveness in the technology sector, and achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050. Japan's decision to invest in ultra-thin, flexible, and lightweight solar panels is based on practicality: they can be installed on irregular or curved surfaces, making them ideal for the country's mountainous terrain. These flexible solar panels are made from a lightweight material called perovskite that makes them more adaptable than traditional silicon solar panels, which are most effective on flat surfaces. Additionally, Japan will also take advantage of a local…

UN Reports Indicate Renewables Have Reached Cost Tipping Point Versus Fossil Fuel

Two United Nations reports indicate that renewables have reached the cost tipping point compared to fossil fuels. The reports describe a ‘positive tipping point’ characterized by a worldwide shift to renewable sources of energy like wind and solar. Fossil fuels still fulfill a greater portion of the world’s energy demand, particularly in energy-intensive industries like manufacturing and transport. However, renewables are catching up at an incredibly rapid pace in both affordability and adoption. In fact, the UN reports say, renewables such as wind and solar have reached a tipping point where they will become even more widespread and low cost.…

White Hydrogen Offers Additional Option in Energy Transition

As the world seeks solutions that will enable it to transition from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives, white hydrogen could provide an additional low-carbon option in the green energy transition. Also referred to as geologic or natural hydrogen, white hydrogen is naturally occurring hydrogen that forms through natural processes. Green hydrogen, on the other hand, is produced using energy-intensive processes such as electrolysis, while blue hydrogen needs carbon capture, another energy-intensive process. Since it forms naturally with no human input, white hydrogen has been gaining popularity as an alternative source of clean energy. This source of energy could be extracted…

BP Pivots Back to Oil, to Divest its Onshore Wind Energy Business in the US

British oil and gas company BP is pivoting back to fossil fuels and divesting its onshore wind energy business in the U.S. after its efforts to go green seemingly fell short. According to the fossil fuel multinational, it has entered a deal to sell its share of the 10 onshore wind farms it owns in the U.S. to LS Power, a utility-scale electric transmission operator based in New York. The farms collectively generate enough clean wind energy to power over half a million American homes. Although the financial details of the deal between BP and LS Power haven’t been disclosed,…

California Notches New Record in Renewable Energy

Recent data from the California Energy Commission has revealed that California achieved a new renewable energy milestone in 2023: drawing 67% of its retail electricity supply from wind, hydropower, solar, and other renewable sources, up from 61% in 2022. The previous record was 64% renewable energy in 2019, just a year after former California Governor Jerry Brown signed a state law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Under the 2018 emissions reduction measure, California is set to achieve 100% carbon-free and renewable electricity by the year 2045, with wind, biomass, solar, nuclear, and large hydropower providing the…
