Offshore wind turbines are seeing significant growth and so are mechanisms to monitor them. Such comprehensive monitoring is teaching us not just about wind power but also about seabirds!
Has the time arrived for circular wind turbines? New wind turbines prioritize design for disassembly, reuse, and recycling, and use sustainable and recyclable materials to reduce reliance on virgin resources.
Here’s an interesting way in which many convenience stores could significantly reduce their peak electricity use from the grid – which can be exacerbated by customer EV charging that is catching up in these stores – through the use of storing electricity in refrigerators and HVAC systems. Quite clever, really.
What the heck are good kilowatts? Turns out that these are nothing but power from good, clean renewable energy sources. Hmmm…
Innovations in thermal energy storage is seeing significant action. And here’s one from Toshiba & Marubeni. A pilot project that these two Japanese giants have developed uses materials such as crushed stone, bricks, molten salt, concrete, and ceramics to store the heat and appears that it can store heat at temperatures above 700 C. That’s interesting!
New partnership with Scope3 enhances carbon measurement across digital channels
“Can we burn hydrogen in a gas turbine?” The answer is Yes, say experts in this news report.
Could underground water reservoirs such as aquifers be a key avenue for heat energy storage, thus enabling low carbon heating and cooling?
Who said coal is dead? While India is ramping up its renewable energy power plants, it is not exactly giving coal power plants a step motherly treatment. Bowing to realities, the draft is suggesting an additional 17-28 GW of coal power plants over the next ten years.
