Surging Green-Energy Production Forces Coal Even Lower in China’s Energy Mix

Despite its reliance on coal-fired energy to power its massive manufacturing sector, China has made such significant strides in green-energy production that the fossil fuel’s contribution to China's energy mix has fallen even lower. Renewable energy production in the country surpassed its electricity demand growth in May as coal’s share in China's energy mix dropped to a record 53%, while renewables produced a historic 44% of the country's electricity in March. Analysis by Asia Society Policy Institute fellow Lauri Myllyvirta also found that greenhouse-gas emissions in China may have peaked last year. Myllyvirta also serves as a lead analyst at…

European Wind Energy Projects Face Lengthy Delays Before Coming Online

A recent report from WindEurope has revealed Europe's transition to green energy has run headlong into a significant barrier: wind energy projects are waiting up to several years to gain access to energy grids. The report found that hundreds of such projects across the continent have been forced to wait years to obtain a grid connection. Furthermore, this backlog of projects is moving so slowly, it has created a bottleneck that is slowing the green-energy transition in Europe. According to the WindEurope report, gaining access to Europe's energy grid represents the foremost barrier to the deployment of renewables such as…

Can Green Energy Replicate Sense of Culture, Community That Coal Mining Nurtured?

Coal played an instrumental role in human civilization and supplied a significant portion of the energy humanity used to industrialize. Although the fossil fuel has rightfully received a lot of flak over the past several decades because of its part in hastening global warming, it brought communities together and helped to advance the human race. Many countries are now working to rid themselves of their dependence on fossil fuels such as coal to arrest global warming, a potentially existential crisis that is already causing extreme weather events across the world. However, with the United States, the European Union and the…

New UK Government Cancels Onshore Wind Farms Ban

The new United Kingdom government is reversing the previous regime’s ban on onshore wind farms just days after being voted in. Instituted by the outgoing Tories' regime, the outright ban on new onshore wind farm facilities would most likely hamper the UK’s efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner alternatives. The ban was put in place nearly a decade ago in 2015 when then-Prime Minister David Cameron decreed that onshore wind projects could be scuttled by just one planning objection. However, former Communities Secretary Michael Gove said last September that the ban would be removed,…

Company Makes Progress in Building Storm-Resistant Clean-Energy System for Tropical Locations

The European Union's PLOTEC project has made notable progress in the development of a storm-resistant clean-energy system for use in tropical locations. Called the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), the prototype generates electricity by using the temperature difference between colder deep water and warm surface water. In addition, the system can withstand severe tropical storms, and its design allows it to continue to generate electricity 24/7, even in the wake of major tropical storms, providing a perpetual clean-energy source that can run even after severe weather events in the tropics. The prototype is currently in development at the Hidramar Shipyard…

Pope Says Vatican Will Be Eighth Nation to Run on Clean Energy

The Pope has revealed that the Vatican is slated to become the eighth nation in the world to eliminate fossil fuels from its energy mix and fully power itself with renewable energy. In an apostolic letter where Pope Francis announced the construction of a new solar plant in the Vatican, he noted that the human race now has the technological know-how to deal with the increasingly dire issue of climate change. More than a century of burning fossil fuels has left the atmosphere damaged, causing the planet to heat up faster than it should and resulting in a growing number…

WTO Report Says Trade Aid Could Broaden Opportunities in Energy Transition

The World Trade Organization Secretariat report has revealed that trade aid will be vital to broadening opportunities in the global transition to green energy. Launched late last month at the Global Review of Aid for Trade, the report noted that least-developed countries (LDCs) as well as developing economies have access to significant trade opportunities as the world transitions to renewables. It also outlined the role finance will play in helping such nations leverage available trade opportunities in the clean-energy-related product and service value chain. The “Aid for Trade in Action: Supporting the Transition to Clean Energy” report acknowledged that countries…

WEF Says China Now Looking to Massively Deploy Energy-Storage Systems

The World Economic Forum (WEF) says China’s next step in its transition to renewables is the massive deployment of commercial and industrial energy-storage systems. With most developed countries working to cut their greenhouse-gas emissions, China has invested billions of dollars into its fledgling green-energy industry over the past several years. The result is a massive deployment of wind and especially solar energy farms. In 2023 alone, China installed more solar panels than the United States installed in its entire history, putting the east Asian country at the forefront of global solar-energy deployment. However, due to their intermittent nature, renewables are…
