The world’s largest offshore wind farm has begun operations. As per an announcement made by Danish energy firm Orsted, the Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm has produced its first power. The project is expected to be completely operational by the next year and would provide
Wind power is a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Climate change has effectively helped in lowering the cost of wind power to an extent that now it can compete with fossil fuels. However, the top turbine makers fear that wind power will become too
In our battle against carbon emissions, we need to rely more on renewable and sustainable resources like solar energy. It is available in abundance and is being effectively used as solar power worldwide. The usage and expansion of this abundant energy source are increasing exponentially.
SunDrive Solar is an Australia-based company, co-founded by Vince Allen in 2015. The company has set a record for the efficiency of solar cells designs to convert light into electricity. The result was analyzed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH), which is
China’s wind energy hardware maker, MingYang Smart Energy has announced an offshore wind turbine that will be even bigger than GE’s gigantic Haliade-X. It will be the world’s largest wind turbine to power 20,000 homes per unit over a 25-year functional life. The 16-megawatt, 242-meter-tall
Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) is being developed and it has been claimed that it could power our entire planet. The project would collect solar power in space, transmitting the energy wirelessly to earth through microwaves, which would enable terrestrial power availability unaffected by
NTPC is India’s largest energy company that aims to accelerate power development in the nation. A Centre-owned electric utility company, NTPC is going to build India’s largest solar park of 4.75 gigawatts (GW) at Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The solar park will also generate
We all never give it a second thought before flushing the poop in the toilet. Imagine using a toilet to get your coffee or buying you a snack at a university in South Korea. Yes, this special South Korean toilet will use human waste to
Solar energy has become a necessary renewable energy resource as the world aims to reduce the usage of fossil fuels. Solar Mountain by Mumbai architecture firm NUDES is a permanent installation, which has been designed to potentially power the 3,800-acre ranch of Burning Man with
Progressing toward the mission to clean water, a team of Chinese researchers developed a highly efficient, solar-powered desalination device that can produce freshwater from seawater. To date, freshwater scarcity is one of the serious issues that is threatening the development of society in many regions.
