Our friends at EV Volumes — true EV data fiends — have released another report on electric car sales and trends. There are another of interesting findings, but the chart that jumped out to me the most was one about battery chemistry.
Global internet behemoth Google announced this week that it has signed three new Power Purchase Agreements to acquire the electricity generated from three wind farms in Finland worth a total of 190 megawatts (MW), continuing the company’s push to remain 100% sourced by renewable energy.
New policy research has shown that policy-based incentives are expected to drive the expansion of the onshore wind sector throughout Northern and Western Europe over the next decade, with capacity worth in excess of 70 gigawatts (GW) expected through the next ten years.
Europeans are in a quandary about whether to build battery factories now or wait for the next generation of solid state batteries to arrive. The decision is not an easy one to make.
The Netherlands has announced that it will ban the use of coal for electricity generation from 2030 onwards, and that the two oldest plants must close by the end of 2024, in a move that Germany utility company RWE has deemed “ill judged.”
Around the world, cities endeavor to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while adapting to the threats – and opportunities – presented by climate change. It’s no easy task, but the first step is to make a plan outlining how to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement, and help limit the world’s mean temperature rise to less than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Seven European countries step up the fight against climate change by calling for higher ambition by EU countries.
The Finland-based firm Fortum has won a tender to build out the country’s total solar energy capacity by around 30%, it has revealed.
Adding to the rapidly growing nature of interest in the sector, Rolls-Royce has unveiled and opened a new research and development facility in Finland that is focused on autonomous shipping.
CleanTech activism was everywhere in a week of revelations about energy and decision we’re making around the world to fight anthropogenic climate change.
