The updated aviation fuel-service projection starts from post-COVID recovery, then bends liquid-fuel growth through regional-electric displacement, constrained SAF and demand pressure.
Aviation is one of the harder transition sectors to model well because it invites two bad shortcuts. One is to assume that flying keeps growing as it did in the cheap-kerosene era, with a cleaner molecule somehow dropped into the same demand curve. The other is to assume that decarbonization … [continued]

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) is no stranger to solar power records, and it’s just set another one. Via its own III-V germanium solar PV module, the institute reached 34.4 percent solar module efficiency. The solar record march goes on. “The solar cells were developed by AZUR … [continued]
While the US is languishing thanks to permitting hell, the UK is looking to speed up its clean energy transition with faster grid connections for solar, wind, and battery projects. “Britain has offered grid connections to more than 700 projects, the country’s power planning body said on Wednesday, under a … [continued]
The energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemical additives and transforms leftover salts into useful materials. Big takeaways A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives. The solar-powered system uses specially engineered black metal to absorb sunlight. Its self-cleaning surface separates and collects salts, instead of dumping them as harmful … [continued]
The SunZia Wind Project, the largest wind farm in the United States, is slated to begin commercial operations this month. The wind farm, located in New Mexico, has a total net summer generating capacity of 3,650 megawatts (MW) and is composed of 916 wind turbines. SunZia’s capacity is more than three … [continued]
Just yesterday, I wrote about T1 Energy CEO Dan Barcelo contending that the US needs serious solar permitting reform. Now we have another warning about how much this is holding back solar power growth in the state. In the latest US Solar Market Insight report, SEIA and Wood Mackenzie pointed … [continued]

Search should ensure pension mandates are awarded only to firms with credible climate-risk management and responsible stewardship. NEW YORK, NY — New York City Comptroller Mark Levine and trustees of the City’s five public pension systems today announced a search for asset managers to provide passive indexing services, opening a review of major … [continued]
A university in Hawaii is launching into phase two of a big solar project on its campus, and when completed, it should mean that the university is getting 100% of its electric from solar power. Actually, the clean solar electricity will go even beyond that. The university is Brigham Young … [continued]
