EWF appears to be positioning itself wisely and carefully in the emerging blockchain-for-energy space. It’s not trying to boil the ocean, it’s aligning itself with the regulated marketplace for electricity and it’s partnering with serious organizations.
Global market analyst DNV GL peeled back the layers of its recent forecast on global energy source evolution to reveal that solar & wind energy, buoyed by offshore wind, will grow to represent nearly 70% of global electricity production by 2050, according to Richard Barnes, the Executive Vice President and Regional Manager for the Energy Business Area of the company in North America.
China’s National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) has written a draft policy that would increase the renewable energy target from 20% to 35% by 2030.
Climate change has serious implications. But that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate a few clever tweets.
CleanTechnica received the following email press release from Refugio Mata yesterday morning. In the afternoon, I had the fortune of speaking to Nicole Horseherder, Executive Director of the Navajo environmental group To Nizhoni Ani. Nicole says the coal plant they are protesting has led to air and water pollution as well as health consequences for her neighbors.
I enjoyed a group of refreshing high-energy people in presentations, lunches, dinners, and solar power plant tours for a few days last week. It lifted my energy in a number of ways. I liked learning about the nuts and bolts of advanced solar power systems — that was part of it. The positive, engaging conversations with smart and oh so lively solar engineers set my standards for dinner companions up a notch. Maybe I like hearing people mention algorithms quite often. I plan to follow this piece with a few more technological posts, but this first one is about solar engineers, the people behind the technology.
Dale Vince, the founder and Managing Director of Ecotricity, gave this interview on 16th November 2017, and I am very pleased to present the third part of it here.
At The Mobility Conference in Abu Dhabi, UAE — a collaboration between Global EVRT, CleanTechnica, and Masdar — CleanTechnica Director Zach Shahan interviewed UAE Minister of Energy and Industry Suhail Mohamed Faraj Al Mazrouei about the future of transport and the UAE’s leadership in e-mobility and renewable energy.
A couple weeks ago, we wrote about a major new ballot initiative in Arizona. The proposal is a 50% Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) by the year 2030. A total of 480,464 Arizona residents sign onto the initiative to get it on the November ballot. Unfortunately, local media outlets are blowing the story.
Today, renewable energy resources like wind and solar power are so affordable that they’re driving coal production and coal-fired generation out of business. Lower-cost natural gas is helping, too.
