A recent study by the Indian Foundation for Forest and Environment Research and Studies (iFOREST) has claimed that the state of Odisha in eastern India has a solar potential of around 170 Gigawatt (GW), which is approximately seven times more than the estimates by the
The need for renewable energy has become dire given how badly fossil fuel consumption is affecting our planet, while the energy bills and requirements soar every day. Harnessing solar energy and wind energy helps to fulfill power requirements but have you ever seen a design
Located 16.7 miles off the coast of Angus in eastern Scotland, Seagreen offshore wind farm has generated its first power. This $3.54 billion project is Scotland’s largest offshore venture. This fixed-bottom offshore wind farm is located about 194 feet deep in the water. The farm
Wind turbine maker Siemens Gamesa has installed the first RecyclableBlades at the Kaskasi offshore wind farm in Germany. RecyclableBlades is the world’s first recyclable wind turbine blades that are up and running now. Thanks to the use of 100 percent recyclable blades, the materials are
To reduce the carbon emissions and toxic gas fumes in the environment, a gigantic underground ‘Water Battery’ plant has been set up in Valais, Switzerland. This megawatt (MW) Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant started operating in July after 14 years of complicated testing
The main topic of focus in the latest I2U2 – which stands for India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the US – group meeting was food security and clean energy. During the meeting, India, Israel, UAE, and the US formed a positive agenda
We have seen several types of solar panels, but not a transparent or near-transparent solar cell, until now. Scientists from the Tohoku University in Japan have built a near-invisible solar cell using indium tin oxide (ITO) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) as a see-through electrode and
Researchers throughout the world are working tirelessly to find new ways to store excessive heat or energy. It is due to the worldwide green initiative that urges everyone to switch to renewable energy. Now, the Finnish company Polar Night Energy has come up with the
It is no secret that China has 80 percent monopoly on solar manufacturing industry. According to the International Energy Agency, this control has emerged as a threat to the huge consumption of solar PV systems needed to help achieve net zero emissions throughout the planet.
As a part of the nationally determined contribution (NDC), India aims to increase around 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, with a target to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. India wants to attain this sustainable energy goal to combat
