American Superconductor Corporation ( AMSC ), a global power technologies company, announced in conjunction with Global Wind Day 2010 on 15 June that it has achieved a significant milestone by supporting the production of more than 15,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power worldwide with its proprietary power electronic solutions.
The open-access study, published in Science Advances , also found that the growth of particulate pollution in Asia has contributed to fewer tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific basin. Weaker winds, in turn, mean that there is less difference between the speed of winds in the lower and upper troposphere or less wind shear.
Energy investor Good Energies, Google and Marubeni Corporation are investing in the Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC) backbone transmission project. The 350-mile (563-km) long transmission backbone will provide approximately 6,000 MW of offshore wind capacity, enough power to serve 1.9 million households, when fully complete.
Springtime ozone levels above western North America are rising primarily due to air flowing eastward from the Pacific Ocean, a trend that is largest when the air originates in Asia. When air is transported from a broad region of south and east Asia, the trend is largest. —lead author Owen R. Cooper, Ph.D. —Owen Cooper.
About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. —John Christensen. —Stephanie Ewing.

To generate the renewable electricity needed to feed production of green hydrogen, Cepsa will develop a 3GW portfolio of wind and solar energy projects with an additional €2-billion investment. It also has one of the highest wind and solar photovoltaic power generation and production capacity in Europe, and at the lowest cost.
The company plans to use the funds to expand its customer service, sales and manufacturing in Asia, with a focus on China. China is the leading global market for new energy buses, passenger rail, automobile sales and renewable wind power generation; Ioxus products directly benefit those applications.
Puerto Rico has stable warm temperatures and ample sunlight year-round, as well as a wide range of exposure to prevailing winds and waves. The researchers are currently targeting commercially valuable red algal eucheumatoid species, which are primarily cultivated in East Africa and Asia.
Despite those periods of excess wind and solar power, because the ability to store electricity for more than a few hours is lacking, dispatchable power from the combustion of fossil fuels continues to bridge gaps in supply. At peak times, some US states and countries already have more renewable power than their grids can handle.
The consortium has been collaborating on the project for more than three years, which will consist of 25 gigawatts (GW) of renewable solar and wind energy at full capacity to produce millions of tons of zero-carbon green hydrogen per annum. Green hydrogen is expected by some to grow into a US$2.5-trillion trillion market by.

REEs are the building-blocks of a wide array of clean energy and advanced technologies, including wind turbines, electric vehicles, cell phones, computers, flat panel displays, advanced optics, catalysts, medicine, and national defense applications. The monazite sands will be from Chemours’ Offerman Mineral Sand Plant in Georgia.
However, emissions do not just remain in conurbations; particles and gaseous pollutants can be transported thousands of kilometers by the wind. This scenario is particularly relevant in Asia, home to the world’s largest concentration of megacities. Chou, as well as the National Taiwan University, especially Po-Hsiung Lin.
Solar and wind generation grew at double-digit pace, with solar alone increasing by 31%. Most of that came from a young fleet of coal power plants in developing Asia. The majority of coal-fired generation capacity today is found in Asia, with 12-year-old plants on average, decades short of average lifetimes of around 50 years.

Almost 80% of the projected increase in renewable electricity generation is fueled by hydropower and wind power. The contribution of wind energy, in particular, has grown rapidly over the past decade and this trend continues into the future. Electricity generation from nuclear power worldwide increases from 2.6
Growth is particularly strong in the Non OECD countries in the Asia Pacific region, where demand for natural gas is expected to triple over the next 30 years. By 2040, more than 15 percent of the world’s electricity will be generated by renewable fuels—solar, wind, biofuels, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric power.
