Among them, pyrolysis oil—a renewable liquid fuel produced from the thermal decomposition of biomass or plastic waste—holds immense promise. ...
In the next few years, coal-fired power plants will usher in a profound green revolution. Its core task is to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in the production process. The specific goal is to incorporate at least 10% biomass fuel into the existing coal-fired system. This transformation not only responds to the urgent global need for environmental protection and reduction of ...
In the landscape of renewable energy solutions, biomass pyrolysis plants emerge as compelling avenues for sustainable resource utilization and energy production. With the European Union's ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy sources, the investment prospects for biomass pyrolysis plants in Europe have garnered significant attention from investors ...
Today, more than ever, we are looking for ways to lower our energy bills while also reducing our impact on the planet. One of the best solutions that we have in Spain is the use of solar energy. In fact, one of Spain's strengths is its large number of sunny days throughout the year: a strength that becomes a real advantage in terms of energy generation and savings. But, what data should we take ...
The drive is on to improve the sustainability performance of data centers with tools such as IIoT platforms, energy monitoring and management, and innovative cooling technologies. However efficient a data center becomes, the carbon footprint of the electricity itself will be the main factor in its environmental performance. The exact amount of electricity consumed in data centers around the ...
The energy needed to heat and power buildings makes up 40% of the country's total energy usage, so the new regulations are essential to reduce the need for heat and power in homes and buildings to reach net zero. ...
The first energy communities were built before a name or a specific regulation was established for them. To regularise and encourage their implementation, the European Union has implemented a regulation defining two concepts: the Citizen Energy Community (Directive (EU) 2019/944) and the Renewable ...
At its annual forum, World Economic announced that "by 2030, solar energy could become the most important energy source for electricity and heat production in much of the world." So while solar power remains marginal in the global energy mix, we are forced to see that it is growing exponentially and worldwide. Indeed, solar energy seems to be the great energy of the future due to its multiple ...
One of the bioeconomy’s greatest opportunities lies in provision of renewable heat, specifically from the injection of biomethane from anaerobic digestion (AD) into the gas grid. This provides a consistent and reliable source of renewable heat for both domestic and non-domestic purposes by decarbonising the gas grid, lowering the carbon emissions profile compared to natural gas. ...
This semester, I embarked on the journey of getting an Occupational Endorsement in Sustainable Energy from the University of Fairbanks. The program and most of the classes are headed by Mark Masteller, a colleague and energy expert, but maybe more importantly, a person who has an impassioned vision about what a sustainable future for all looks like and the knowledge to help mobilize the masses to ...
Wider market forces could also impact LTE activity in the coming years as corporate demand for renewable energy grows and national governments implement European Union (EU) legislation. ...
On July 12, 2019, the House Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Caucus and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute co-hosted the 22nd Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum. The forum brought together government agencies, businesses, and trade associations to showcase renewable energy technologies and discus sustainable public policy options. ...
The plan lacks substantial details on all topics directly relevant to the wind power industry, such as support to renewable energy production, renewable corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), electrification, investments in Research & Innovation. ...
APEC Project May - November 2018 What is the Project About? The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) launches the initiative “Empowering Women as Managers in the Renewable Energy Sector,” a project developed by the United States and implemented by the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC), Nedworc Foundation (NWF) and SD Strategies. Through an ambitious, comprehensive and targeted ...
The EU has been making great strides towards solar power in the recent years, as European solar projects have overhauled most countries main energy systems. Recently, EU ambassadors met together to revise the renewable energy directive, setting a goal to reach 32% renewable energy from the EU by 2030. In fact, the EU bank has invested $11.75 million in solar energy in ...
EGEC has released a policy paper assessing the current European Commission’s energy modelling for heating and cooling, used to generate forecasts that serve as basis for policy proposals and policy making. The resulting analysis shows a lack of robustness in the Commission’s forecasts for the heating and cooling sector, which translates in a lack of ambition, in the initial ...
The European Union have set target as per Renewable Energy Directive (RED), to fulfil at least 20% of its total energy needs with renewables by 2020. Similarly, the U.S. renewable fuel standard program was created to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand the U.S. renewable fuels sector, ...
Solar is on the rise in the United States. As of March 2016, Solar Energy Industries Association released figures showing the top states for solar power. Here are a few states that are shining bright when it comes to solar. New York New York has tremendous solar potential and has regularly been in the top 10 list of U.S. solar states. The Empire State has installed 638 MW of solar capacity, ...

Hutterite colony invests in solar for business reasons You’ve seen them before, though they don’t tend to stand out. Hutterites—women in bright coloured, identical dresses and men in somber, dark jackets and hats. They’re almost always at the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning selling fresh eggs, carrots and potatoes. This quaint image of a quiet people is a ...
