In a number of articles, I’ve been using A Better Routeplanner to simulate what an Aptera and other future 1,000-mile EVs would be able to do. I’ve done routes like London-Moscow-Beijing, the Pan Am Highway, and even a foolhardy and time-consuming African crossing. I did the best I could by … [continued]
Kazakhstan now has its first Tesla Supercharger. This is evidence of yet another promise by Elon Musk that has been kept. During the Tesla Model Y event, while Elon Musk was talking, someone mentioned Kazakhstan in the audience and Elon said, “Actually, we have some great supporters in Kazakhstan.” Elon followed that up — after several loud cheers — with a promise: “We will build Superchargers in Kazakhstan! You heard it right here.”

Welcome to the next issue of China x Cleantech, our November 2018 edition. As the year starts to close, we are still getting interesting developments from China, but we have to cover the numerous developments in November before getting to those. In order to aggregate and summarize the November highlights, here’s another edition of our monthly China × Cleantech feature, also published over on the “Future Trends” section of our website. See last month’s edition for more.
Solid cleantech ideas can arise anywhere around the world, and increasingly they are coming from talented entrepreneurs in countries, even those with economies that are focused on oil, like Nigeria, Kazakhstan, or Azerbaijan, where oil is literally pouring out of the soil. So how do these brave minds plan to succeed there, right in the middle of the fossil fuel universe?
As we enter a more environmentally-conscious age, we need to inevitably build more ecologically responsible and sustainable cities.
Vestas Wind Systems announced Monday that it has secured its first wind turbine order in Kazakhstan, from one of the country’s leading renewable energy developers, CAPEC Green Energy, for the 52 megawatt Astana wind project.
Earlier this month, the French nuclear safety institute IRSN released data showing the existence of a “cloud” of radioactive pollution hovering over much of Europe (as of November 9th), with the speculation being that an “accident” had likely occurred at a nuclear facility located either in Russia or in Kazakhstan.
A Swiss couple just finished driving their Tesla Model S from Switzerland to Kazakhstan and back, often in countries where no electric car charging infrastructure exists. How did they do it and what did they learn along the way?
In a few moments, the 2017 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week will launch. That includes the opening of the 2017 World Future Energy Summit, the 2017 Zayed Future Energy Prize awards ceremony, WISER (Women in Sustainability, Environment and Renewable Energy), Abu Dhabi Global Action Day, the 2017 International Water Summit, and more. Technically, it also includes the IRENA General Assembly, which I attended on Saturday and where I was inspired to write about the totally insane carbon bubble and tremendous cost-competitive renewable energy potential (790 GW) in South East Europe (more articles to come from the IRENA event).
