2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. IEEE Spectrum did its best to cover those developments, and these were the stories that our readers liked best.

The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. In the future, 100% of additional purchased electricity will come from verifiable renewable sources, such as wind- and hydropower. In Germany, all Mercedes-Benz plants will be supplied with CO 2 -neutral energy.

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.
