Finland, which already gets 30% of its energy from renewable sources, has a new 2020 target to make that 38%. Sweden, which already gets 42%, now has a target of 50% by 2020. National Renewable Energy Action Plans published at Renewable Energy Focus show that averaged across the EU, 34% … [continued]
According to IMS Research, global solar photovoltaic modules shipments are likely to exceed to 16 GW this year up from an earlier estimate of 14.6 GW. While Europe would continue to be the leader in solar PV capacity addition, new and developing markets would also see rapid growth. With more than 8 … [continued]
According to IMS Research, a total of 14.6 GW of solar PV capacity would be added this year which would mark a 95 percent increase from the previous year’s figure. However, the research also notes that sales in the European Union could stagnate and new markets would drive growth in … [continued]
SOLARIG, a company based in Spain that incorporated about four years ago, just began construction of eight photovoltaic parks in Italy this month. The parks will provide 8 MW of energy in total. Over the next few months, it plans to construct photovoltaic projects producing 30 MW throughout different regions … [continued]
Waste uranium can apparently be recovered very cheaply from the polluted runoff from uranium mining using E. Coli and a phosphate storage molecule found in seeds, British researchers have found. They used the common bacteria with a chemical parallel of what is already found in agricultural waste: inositol phosphate. Inositol … [continued]
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the world’s largest multilateral fund dedicated to helping developing countries address the climate crisis. Created in 2010, the Fund had its initial resource mobilization (IRM) in 2014 receiving $10.3 billion in pledges from 45 countries. The GCF underwent its first replenishment (GCF-1) in 2019, … [continued]
Elon Musk has talked about a cheaper $25,000 Tesla vehicle on a few occasions. Just after Tesla Model 3 production hell, Elon thought that the technology to produce that cheaper model would be ready around 2022–2023. It is one thing to produce a vehicle like the SGMW Wuling Mini EV … [continued]
Whatever you may think about the Hyperloop idea (I remain a skeptic, personally), things do appear to be moving forward. With regard to Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, one of the companies trying to commercialize the idea, it has apparently started constructing a full-scale passenger hyperloop capsule — following 3 years of research and development efforts.
The basic aim of the site is simple: help living beings, and especially humans, as much as possible.
