Disused Mining Equipment Could Gain New Life in Solar Installations

An energy company based in the Czech Republic is granting disused mining equipment a second life in new solar installations. ČEZ Group, a conglomerate of nearly 100 companies, has begun testing whether parts removed from strip coal mine conveyor belts could support the construction of photovoltaic solar power plants. Central sections extracted from old conveyor belts in coal mines are being recycled into structures to carry the solar-energy panels. These central sections typically transport excavated soil from one area to another, a relatively mundane but critical activity in the coal-mining pipeline. Although the mines they served are now discounted, the…

Study Suggests Understanding Plants’ Circadian Rhythms Could Yield Clean Energy Source

Gaining an understanding of the circadian rhythms of plants could open the door to developing a new type of clean energy, a study suggests. The research shows that we could harness the electric potential or voltage that plants create when they draw water through their roots by learning their biological clocks. Using this electric potential could lead to the creation of a new renewable energy source. Every living organism is subject to a circadian rhythm, or biological clock, that determines its biological processes through the day and night in cycles. Plants use light from the sun to conduct photosynthesis and…

The US Paradoxically Leading, Trailing in Green-Energy Shift Race

The United States is leading the charge in the global transition to renewables such as solar and wind, but the country is still struggling to rein in its massive carbon-dioxide emissions. With green-energy costs falling significantly during the past decade, America's share of photovoltaic solar electricity has increased from 1% to 6% from 2015 to date, putting it second behind China in solar generation. Wind-energy generation in the U.S. has also seen similar growth, increasing from 5% in 2015 to 10% in 2023. This adds up to 16% of America's energy coming from renewables, a massive feat considering the U.S.…

Study Shows How Hybrid Green Energy Can Be Optimized for Off-Grid Locations

A recent study has found that hybrid-renewable-energy system (HRES) configurations can be optimized to serve off-grid locations more efficiently. Published in the “Scientific Reports Journal”  the research involved a robust analysis of different HRES configurations designed to generate energy for rural Ethiopian communities; research findings could be applied to similar off-grid locations. Researchers used the most-advanced optimization techniques to figure out optimal means of sizing and integrating green-energy sources such as wind, pumped hydroenergy storage (PHES) and solar photovoltaic (PV) to off-grid locations to ensure they can reliably deliver affordable electricity. As such locations have minimal to zero connection to…

Green-Energy Transition Could Be Hamstrung by Copper Mining

A new report has found that bottlenecks in copper mining have the potential to slow down America's transition to renewables. Copper is one of the several “green minerals” that will play a critical role in the global green-energy transition as they serve as raw materials for renewables infrastructure. However, a University of Michigan study found that America cannot mine copper at the pace it needs to keep up with national green-energy transition and electric-vehicle guidelines. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act requires that automakers replace their entire product lines with electric cars by 2035 as part of the country's efforts to…

Wood Mackenzie Analysis Suggests Trump Presidency Would Set Back Clean Energy by a Trillion Dollars

Analysis by Wood Mackenzie has found that another Trump presidency could have devastating consequences on America's green-energy transition. While President Joseph Biden has pledged to invest billions in developing the country's renewable-energy infrastructure, former President Donald Trump is mostly opposed to efforts to replace fossil fuels with greener alternatives. As a result, Wood Mackenzie says former President Trump could set back the country's green-energy transition by a whopping $1 trillion if he assumes office for a second term. A report published by the think tank projected that the former president could potentially impact hundreds of billions’ worth of investment in…

Environmental Groups Applaud EU Warning on Protecting Nature as Renewables are Deployed

Several environmental groups have praised the European Commission's recently released guidelines on how governments can use impact assessments to ensure that green-energy deployments do not harm the environment. The guidelines underscore the need for robust assessments of the potential environmental impact of green-energy infrastructure such as solar arrays and wind turbines as the regional bloc strives to rid itself of its dependence on Russian energy exports. Hastily written in response to the energy crisis that followed the Russia-Ukraine war in early 2022, the RePowerEU plan promised to address one of the most significant bottlenecks in the wind energy generation segment,…
