China Commissions Globe’s Largest Solar-Energy Facility

China has commissioned a worldwide, record-setting solar energy plant. The facility has a capacity of 5,000 MW and can generate at least 6,000G Wh annually. This is more than enough to provide the energy needs of entire countries such as Luxembourg. This giant plant is found in Xinjiang, a region known for its desert climate. The power plant sprawls over a land mass equal to 200,000 hectares and was set up by Power China. Before this newest solar plant kicked off its operations, the previous largest pair of solar facilities were also found in China. Each of them produces approximately…

Report Says Wind, Solar Energy Growth in EU Undercutting Fossil Fuels

Recent data has revealed that solar and wind energy growth in the European Union has begun undercutting fossil fuels. A report by think tank Ember found that energy generation from the two renewables has surged by 46% from 2019 to 2023 and eaten into one-fifth of the fossil fuels’ energy market, taking the EU a step closer to achieving its carbon-neutrality goals. Aside from the plan to achieve net neutrality by 2050, the current European Commission also proposed generating 45% of the regional bloc's energy from renewables by the end of the decade. Most climate experts agree that transitioning from…

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…
