How Robust Facilities, Like NREL’s, Could Shrink the Chasm From Data to Demonstration By Caitlin McDermott-Murphy This article is the first in a “Found at Flatirons” series that showcases the various technologies at NREL’s Arvada, Colorado, campus. In a large room with concrete-block walls, a crane lifts what looks like … [continued]
What energy dominance? The global wave energy industry is picking up a head of steam, leaving the US far behind.
A new floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility will deploy flotillas of wave energy converters along with wind and solar power.
