The Climate Institute seeks partnerships with startup initiatives and emerging technology development efforts that transform renewable energy systems. We welcome initiatives and demonstration projects to help advance meaningful climate solutions. The Climate Institute supports our colleagues and partners working on emerging technologies by providing research assistance, intern support, ...
Alternatively, there are renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind power, tidal power, and even geothermal heat. So, where does fusion fit in? ...
Ireland has largely met its renewable energy requirements through onshore wind power. Renewable power provided 20% of electricity consumed in 2013, with 16% provided by wind farms, according to the latest annual data from Ireland's Sustainable Energy Authority Board (SEAI). Ireland’s onshore wind power capacity rose by 222 MW in 2014 to ...
These targets can be reached by increasing the share of energy from renewable sources, including wind power (both onshore and offshore), solar power (thermal, photovoltaic and concentrated), hydro-electric power, tidal power, geothermal energy and biomass (including biofuels and bioliquids). ...
Why the costs of wave and tidal power could soon plummet - viewpoint from Dr Stephen Wyatt, Head of Technology Acceleration, Carbon Trust As the marine industry gathers in London for its annual get together one thing is clear; the sector is growing up fast. ...
Oceans store energy in the form of currents, waves, tides, heat and salinity that can help to alleviate worldwide demand for power and the global climate change threat. They also store a considerable amount of an isotope of hydrogen (deuterium) which takes part in the most promising fusion reactions. ...
World hydroelectric power generation has risen steadily by an average 3 percent annually since 1965. ...
In addition to being the most basic substance supporting all life on this planet, water is also a key agent in a vast number of compounds and processes, and holds the potential to be the greatest source of power on the planet. Hydroelectricity currently accounts for approximately 16% of global electric consumption and that amount is growing. Tidal and wave ...
Tidal current is considered to be one of the promising alternative green energy resources. This paper introduces a simulation based methodology to evaluate tidal current power output characteristics, including capacity factor, and power production variability patterns. ...
This paper focus on some of the key challenges to be met in the development of marine energy, it present prototype form to being a widely deployed contributor to future energy supply of the world. Large-scale wave and tidal current prototypes have been demonstrated around the world, but marine renewable energy technology is still 10-15 years behind that of wind energy. ...
Fugro Renewables (Wallingford, U.K.) announced that it has acquired ERT, an Edinburgh-based environmental consulting firm, to complement its suite of services provided to developers of offshore wind, wave, and tidal power projects. “From feasibility studies and initial assessments to site surveys and investigations, construction services, and ultimately, ...
In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a fuzzy-based linear programming optimal energy model that minimises the cost and determines the optimum allocation of different energy sources for the centralised and decentralised power generation in India. The potential, energy demand, efficiency, emission and carbon tax are used as constraints in the model. ...
Innovation activity in marine energy (wave and tidal stream) has been catalysed by a series of recent UK policy initiatives. ...
