How Clean Energy Projects Can Manage Political Risk

As the global transition from fossil fuels to renewables accelerates, green energy project organizers must develop strategies for managing political risks. With the world still far from achieving carbon neutrality, political risks remain one of the most significant barriers to the expansion of renewables. Nevertheless, renewable energy adoption has advanced considerably in the U.S., aided by falling green energy prices, federal incentives, and state mandates. Between 2014 and 2023, the U.S. added more than 121 gigawatts (GW) of small and utility-scale solar capacity and increased wind capacity by 83%, marking growth rates of 688% and 130%, respectively. However, the current…

Experts Caution That the Environmental Impact of Renewable Energy Needs Scrutiny

As renewables like solar and wind energy become more integrated into the global energy mix, experts are calling for increased scrutiny into the potential environmental effects of the world’s growing green energy capacity. Although wind, solar, hydropower, and other sources of renewable energy produce zero emissions when used, the entire renewable energy production pipeline isn’t completely emission-free. Renewables themselves may produce little to no harmful greenhouse gas emissions, but their production can be quite energy-intensive, and their negative effects on the environment should not be understated. Compared to fossil fuels like gasoline or coal, renewables are undoubtedly the cleaner option.…

States Rush to Complete Clean Energy Projects as Tax Credit Expiry Looms

Dozens of U.S. states are rushing to complete renewable energy projects that are currently under construction before green energy tax credits expire under the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill. With the expiry date for green tax credits fast approaching, state officials are calling for fast‑tracked permitting processes to ensure new renewable energy projects can be connected to the electrical grid before the credits lapse. Based on the current administration’s seemingly antagonistic stance toward renewables and green infrastructure, these could be among the last clean energy projects launched in the U.S. for several years. The Trump administration opposed the previous administration’s…

Researchers in Ireland Test Kites Designed to Generate Wind Energy

Researchers in Ireland are testing the feasibility of using giant kites to generate green electricity. Located in Bangor Erris in Mayo County in western Ireland, the designated airborne wind energy (AWE) test hub serves as the main testing ground for this novel source of renewable energy. The tests involve flying giant Falcon kites (60m²) that are secured to generators on the ground, and the researchers use a yo‑yo motion to generate clean energy from high‑altitude wind. The project is led by KitePower, a Dutch company founded in 2016 as a Delft University of Technology spin‑off, in partnership with Mayo County…

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…

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…
