Piecing together the puzzle of future solar cell materials
Photographer: Chalmers University of Technology Global electricity use is increasing rapidly and must be addressed sustainably. Developing new materials could give us much more efficient solar cell materials than at present; materials so thin and flexible that they could encase anything from mobile phones or entire buildings. Using computer simulation and machine learning, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now taken an important step...

SFU Clean Hydrogen Hub joins Canadian alliance of hydrogen hubs to accelerate clean energy innovation
Simon Fraser University’s Clean Hydrogen Hub has signed an agreement with three other leading Canadian hydrogen hubs conducting similar research and activities in developing hydrogen energy technologies. The collaboration between SFU, Vallée de la Transition Énergétique (VTE, Québec), Newfoundland and Labrador Hydrogen Innovation Partnership (HyIP, Newfoundland), and the Edmonton Regional Hydrogen Hub (Alberta) will form the Pan-Canadian Alliance of Hydrogen Hubs, representing a major nationa...
Jacket foundations marshalled efficiently for Greater Changhua 2b and 4a offshore wind farms
Lifting instead of RoRo safeguarded the project against changing tides and additional charter costs RoRo is often the preferred method for moving large and heavy offshore wind foundations onto and from vessels at port. Under ideal conditions, driving foundations directly to a set down point – rather than lifting and then driving them – takes less time. However, it is not always the most efficient or safest option under real-world conditions. In this instance, external factors mean a ring c...

Arcadis joins forces with Schneider Electric and energy solution providers to accelerate resilient infrastructure
NEW YORK, NY — Arcadis, a global leader in intelligence-driven sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets, today announced that it has joined forces with Schneider Electric in the Accelerating Resilient Infrastructure Initiative to rapidly scope, finance and deploy resilient local energy systems, such as microgrids, while federal incentives remain available. With current federal incentives for clean energy projects set to expire soon, communities...
With the certification of three new sites in France and Germany, Lhyfe becomes Europe's largest producer of RFNBO hydrogen from the electrolysis of water
Lhyfe’s three recently RFNBO-certified production sites: Buléon Lhyfe’s first four installed sites (21 MW) are now RFNBO certified (Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin certification is the highest environmental standard in the industry), making it Europe’s leading producer of RFNBO hydrogen from the electrolysis of water[1]. With these four sites now certified in France and Germany, and thanks to its fleet of Type 4 containers —among the largest in Europe— Lhyfe has unique re...

Principle Power’s WindFloat® Projects Reach Key Milestone with 1 TWh Power Delivered to the Grid
Image credits to Ocean Winds Emeryville, CA, September 3, 2025 – Principle Power announces that floating offshore wind projects using the WindFloat® technology have generated more than 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of cumulative power production since WindFloat 1 was connected to the grid in 2011. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of the WindFloat® designs, and the readiness of the company’s 4th generation designs for commercial scale projects. The 1 TWh output includes generation from...
XL monopile foundations marshalled for Nordseecluster A and Thor offshore wind farms
More efficient load-in phase results in fewer transcontinental sea voyages Mammoet is playing a key role in the lifting and movement of next generation wind turbine components for the world’s biggest offshore wind farm projects. In 2023, it was selected by Buss Ports to marshal foundations for two of the largest offshore wind projects in Europe - Nordseecluster A (Germany) and Thor (Denmark). Nordseecluster (A & B) and Thor are joint offshore wind projects of RWE (51%) and Norges B...
