Renewables and Efficiency

The new plans propose a boundary shift of oil and gas activities southwardly in the Barents Sea, away from the biologically rich ocean areas in the Arctic.

The 17-acre project is part of the state’s Standard Offer Program that promotes the development of in-state renewable energy sources.

The nation witnessed a 12% decline in growth last year, compared to 8,338MW of solar power installations recorded in 2018.

Chinese coal miner Baofeng Energy has announced the start of construction of what it claims will be the world’s largest solar-powered hydrogen plant, in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region of northwest China. The RMB1.4 billion ($199 million) electrolysis project is intended to produce 160 million cubic meters of hydrogen per …

The wind-turbine materials market is expected to double in value to nearly $20 billion in 2026 from today’s value, US-based Frost and Sullivan has forecast. The market analyst outfit expects the market for “structural and non-structural materials” to grow at a compound annual rate of 8.9% — from $10.76 billion …

DNV GL says the post-combustion technology will capture and liquefy 400,000 metric tonnes of the carbon dioxide produced each year at a cement plant.

Carbon dioxide absorbed by trees as they grow is stored in the wooden tower, which means that the wind turbines are climate-neutral.

On completion, the 714MW plant is expected to power the equivalent of around 630,000 UK homes with renewable power.

The project increases the firm’s total installed capacity in the country to approximately 380MW.

Projects are expected to fall short on timelines by at least a quarter, with a disrupted supply and pre-crisis policy changes exacerbating delays.
