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
A Dutch student, Gijs Schalkx skillfully modifies his motorcycle to run on swamp gas! An inventor and art student, Schalkx has named his vehicle Sloot Motor (sloot means ‘ditch’ in Dutch), which runs on methane procured from roadside bogs and ponds. This resourceful Sloot Motor
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
The Floating Wind Turbine project is one of the most anticipated energy technologies, that GE research featured at the annual ARPA-E Innovation Summit – virtually held from Monday, May 24-27. GE researchers announced the details of their current two-year, $4 MM project through the ARPA-E’s
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
The world is working hard to dig renewable energy sources and the findings of a recent study might have given a solution. This study stated that underwater volcanoes have the potential to produce energy to power an entire continent. The underwater volcanoes release immense force,
Renewable energy resources are being tested for quite some time now, to analyze the lengths to which these resources can help the planet reduce carbon emissions. In a new project, a remote Tasmanian island will be power-driven by wave energy. Depending on the project’s success,
Solar panels have come as an imperative aid to reduce fossil fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions. The power to harness renewable energy from sunlight has opened up new arrays for the energy industry. Many iterations of solar panels have since been introduced with various
Renewable energy resources have been high in demand, as the world races to reduce carbon emissions in order to prevent the rise of global temperatures. While ships were once the primary mode of international commerce, they have been less popular in contemporary times owing to
