The EU has given the go-ahead for a deal between Norway’s KLP and Swedish pension fund AMF to buy the biggest wind power company in Sweden.

Extracting electric energy from wind using a technology without moving parts has been a temptation for decades. The challenges have stemmed from the fact that a solution requires a multiphysic approach and mastering various fields of technology. such as effective production of charged particles. a twophase flow and proper handling …

Belgium’s largest offshore wind farm under development has reached a milestone this week with the installation of its substation being completed.

Renewable energy giant Siemens Gamesa has signed an agreement with an environmental group to look into the clean production of ammonia for energy storage.

A detailed literature survey of studies carried out during the last 10 years in opaque solar facades has been performed. The studies reviewed were grouped into the following five systems: building-integrated solar thermal. building-integrated photovoltaic. building-integrated photovoltaic thermal. thermal storage wall and solar chimney. Building-integrated solar thermal technology certainly presents …
