Efficient, Resilient Grids Can Help Countries Make Energy Transition

The global transition to green energy will benefit from healthy, efficient, and resilient electricity grids. Both mini-grids and long-distance centralized grids will be required to ensure everyone has access to sustainable energy as renewables like solar and wind replace fossil fuels in the world's energy mix. While generating enough green energy to power the world's ever-increasing energy needs will be a substantial achievement, it is one half of the equation. Once this capacity is generated, utilities have to deliver it to customers, often tens or even hundreds of miles from the power plants, at relatively low costs and without overwhelming…

How Risks Due to Clean Energy Intermittency Can Be Mitigated

Intermittency is one of the key challenges governments will have to overcome as they build modern energy systems that are fully reliant on renewable energy. While fossil fuel-fired power plants generate energy at any time of the day or night, clean energy is dependent on the time and weather conditions. This is clean energy intermittency. A solar energy plant has zero output at night and its capacity may be limited during the day due to cloudy or overcast conditions. Renewables can produce energy in abundance but their intermittency can inject a lot of volatility into green energy prices, especially if…

Several Positions of US Utility Control Officials are on the Ballot

The outcome of America's renewable energy ambitions may hinge on the outcome of the November 2024 elections. While it may seem that a Kamala Harris presidency would advance the current administration's efforts to advance green energy in the country, whoever clinches several hundred key local positions may have just as much sway. These often overlooked utility control officials control the country's power grid, making them an integral cog in America's climate action. The U.S. can generate as much clean energy as possible, but it will be useless if the grid isn't ready and willing to handle the additional load. Major…

UN Report Provides Roadmap to Greater Adoption of Clean Energy

A recent United Nations report has outlined a roadmap national and international leaders could use to accelerate the transition to renewable sources of energy. The Climate Technology Progress Report noted that the world has to double its energy efficiency and triple its green energy capacity by the end of the decade to meet its climate action goals. However, even though some countries have made a lot of progress, the elimination of fossil fuels, the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions, is still uneven. Many nations are still burning fossil fuels and contributing to environmental pollution even as they increase their…

Clean Energy Event Highlights How Emerging Technologies Can Facilitate the Energy Transition

A recent renewable energy event highlighted the role emerging technologies can play in the global transition to renewables. Hosted by The Pew Charitable Trusts and Canary Media, the Climate Night Live: Visions From the ‘Clean Energy Future’ event was held during Climate Week NYC in New York. One of the takeaways of the event was that green energy industries like wind and solar energy, as well as battery storage and electric cars, had already created hundreds of thousands of new job opportunities for Americans despite still being in their infancy. However, there is still quite a long way to go…

How Policy-Related Hindrances to Energy Sector Growth Can Be Addressed

Growth in the global energy industry is often stalled by regional and international policy-related hindrances. A poll of over a thousand industry professionals surprisingly found that policy can become a significant barrier to growth in the energy sector when it involves unrealistic energy transition and climate targets. Green energy policy development should always involve communities and industry to ensure everyone who is affected by the green transition is on board. Furthermore, lawmakers should ensure policy development deals with domestic and international issues. Alongside investment from the private and public sectors, the right kind of policies will be critical to facilitating…

North Sea Countries Determined to Make the Region a Clean Energy Hub

Energy ministers from the 9 nations dubbed the North Seas countries have reaffirmed their commitment to transforming the region into Europe's renewable energy hub. Speaking at the just-concluded North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) ministerial meeting held in Odense, Denmark, the Energy Ministers gave the new Europe Commission recommendations on how it can support this goal. The recommendations particularly focused on the need to bolster the continent’s supply chain for wind energy. Despite Europe's significant potential for offshore wind energy, most of its green energy capacity is generated from solar farms. The energy ministers also discussed the need to create new…

COP29 Organizers Aim to Use Sustainable Energy During the Event

Organizers behind the upcoming COP29 have revealed that they will use sustainable energy to power the conference venue as they seek to promote sustainability and reduce the event’s environmental impact. According to the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company, sustainable energy solutions will be implemented throughout the event to achieve carbon neutrality, Axernews says. The conference will be held at the Baku Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11th to 22nd, with hydrated vegetable oil (HVO) acting as the event's main energy supply. According to the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company, its planning activities are based on a policy of sustainability with 7…

Forum Highlights Clean Energy Collaborations as Climate Change Challenges Abound

The recently concluded 2nd China-Europe-Africa Green Energy Development Forum has highlighted various green energy collaborations that are helping advance the transition to green energy as climate change challenges surge. In addition to helping address climate change and promoting sustainable development in all three markets, a top official from China said that increased cooperation between Europe, Africa, and China in the burgeoning green energy space will bring stability amidst global volatility and uncertainty. Speaking at the forum in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, China on October 19th, the Vice-Chairman of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and China-EU…

IEA Warns That Geopolitical Tensions Threaten Energy Security

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says rising geopolitical tensions are threatening global energy security and emphasizing the need for a speedy transition to clean energy. Economic and military tensions surging across many regions of the world have exposed major weaknesses in the world's energy system and created significant risks for climate action and energy security. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol says geopolitical tensions could affect green energy supplies and the prospect of surpluses through the second half of the 2020s. Excess supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG), oil, and clean energies such as solar panels and batteries is projected to…
