Connecting the Dots: Putting Offshore Wind Energy to Work
By Tiffany Plate, NREL The most recent U.S. Census states that 44.4 million people, or nearly 14% of the population, live along the Atlantic Coast. That is a lot of people—who need a lot of electricity. And as the country pushes to decarbonize the energy sector, that power needs to increasingly come from renewable sources, like solar and wind. But densely populated coastlines often do not ...

Massive expansion of renewable power opens door to achieving global tripling goal set at COP28
The world’s capacity to generate renewable electricity is expanding faster than at any time in the last three decades, giving it a real chance of achieving the goal of tripling global capacity by 2030 that governments set at the COP28 climate change conference last month, the IEA says in a new report. The amount of renewable energy capacity added to energy systems around the world grew by 50% in ...

Major Growth of Clean Energy Limited the Rise in Global Emissions in 2023
Global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose less strongly in 2023 than the year before even as total energy demand growth accelerated, new IEA analysis shows, with continued expansion of solar PV, wind, nuclear power and electric cars helping the world avoid greater use of fossil fuels. Without clean energy technologies, the global increase in CO2 emissions in the last five years ...

Sandia Studies Subterranean Storage of Hydrogen
Will empty petroleum reservoirs work for storing clean hydrogen? Imagine a vast volume of porous sandstone reservoir, once full of oil and natural gas, now full of a different, carbon-free fuel — hydrogen. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories are using computer simulations and laboratory experiments to see if depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs can be used for storing this ...
