Lhyfe and DORIS sign a memorandum of understanding to launch the first floating wind turbine for integration with a hydrogen production system
Paris / Nantes (France), - Following a 12-month-long joint R&D programme focused on developing economically viable offshore green hydrogen production solutions, Lhyfe, a world pioneer and pure player in renewable green hydrogen production, and DORIS, an integrated engineering and project management group and a leader in offshore technology, have decided to become official partners to step up their work on offshore hydrogen production. Together they plan to launch the first floating wind turbine...
Video: Ultrathin Solar Cells Get a Boost
Rice University engineers have achieved a new benchmark in the design of atomically thin solar cells made of semiconducting perovskites, boosting their efficiency while retaining their ability to stand up to the environment. Read more at https://news.rice.edu/news/2021/ultra...
Ultrathin solar cells get a boost
A two-dimensional coat of a perovskite compound is the basis for an efficient solar cell that might stand up to environmental wear and tear, unlike earlier perovskites. Engineers at Rice University raised the photovoltaic efficiency of 2D perovskites by up to 18%.

EV Charging Sessions to Exceed 1.5 Billion by 2026 Globally, as Mass Electrification Drives Infrastructure Requirements
A new study from Juniper Research has found the global volume of EV charging sessions, where an EV’s battery is charged using a charging point, will exceed 1.5 billion per annum in 2026, from just 200 million in 2021. This remarkable growth rate of more than 665% over the next five years will be driven by greater government incentives for electric vehicles, as well as more widespread charging service availability. The research identified incentives for EV ownership as having significantly inc...
Hydropower will continue to dominate annual power generation in Canada to 2030, says GlobalData
Hydropower held a share of 60.2% in total annual generation in Canada in 2020 and this share is expected to marginally decline to 58% in 2030; however, it will continue to hold the dominant share in Canada’s generation mix, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Rohit Ravetkar, Power Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Canada is among the global leaders in hydropower generation, with several provinces in the country, including British Colombia, Quebec, and Manitoba, generati...
Fugro wins two Energinet site investigation contracts for Denmark’s Energy Island
Fugro has secured two geotechnical site investigation contracts with Energinet for Denmark’s proposed Energy Island project. A global first, this purpose-built artificial island will be situated 80 km offshore in the North Sea and act as a hub connecting hundreds of surrounding wind turbines. Fugro will perform the preliminary geotechnical site investigation for the Energy Island and the adjacent offshore wind farm zone. The resulting Geo-data will be used to prepare an integrated geological and...
The Masses Make the Difference: Private Individuals Significantly Increase Investments in Renewable Energies and Sustainable Projects
Almost one third of installed renewable electricity capacity funded from investments by private individuals Farmers also play an important role: 47.2% of farms rely on renewable energy production More and more German citizens making sustainable investments: share among general population rises from 5% (2019) to 8% (2021) It is private individuals who are fuelling the energy transition on a massive scale, as shown in a new infographic by Block-Builders.net. They not only represent t...
U.S. to Sharply Cut Methane Pollution that Threatens the Climate and Public Health
WASHINGTON (Nov. 2, 2021) - Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took an important step forward to advance President Biden’s commitment to action on climate change and protect people’s health by proposing comprehensive new protections to sharply reduce pollution from the oil and natural gas industry – including, for the first time, reductions from existing sources nationwide. The proposed new Clean Air Act rule would lead to significant, cost-effective reductions in methane emis...
Higher energy prices to drive up global inflation to 3.23% in 2021, says GlobalData
The shortage of coal has resulted in higher production costs for manufacturing companies, and the global inflation rate is forecasted to rise from 2.50% in 2020 to 3.23% in 2021 as a result. GlobalData has also upwardly revised its 2021 global inflation rate forecast to 3.23% in October 2021. The leading data and analytics company notes that this is an upward revision of 0.22 percentage points when compared with the June 2021 projections. Gargi Rao, Economic Research Analyst at GlobalData, co...
