Can a New Power Link Boost the EU’s Energy Independence?

Cars That Think

At the moment, the Caucasus nations dont produce enough renewable electricity to export it, so they would have to build at least three times more capacity. In 2016, for example, the country set a goal of sourcing 20 percent of its energy from renewables by 2020. Azerbaijan built its economy on its abundant fossil fuels.

Gas-fired power generation hits four-year high

EV Info

It was the dunkelflaute Low levels of renewable generation and high demand drove gas-fired power generation to its highest level since 2021 for the first quarter of the year. Meanwhile, renewable output fell from 35.8TWh in Q1 2024 to 34.1TWh in the first quarter of this year, mainly due to a decline in wind and biomass output.

Gigastack renewable hydrogen from offshore wind project advances to next phase; 100MW electrolyzer system

Green Car Congress

million for the next phase of Gigastack, a new renewable hydrogen project, as part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Hydrogen Supply Competition. Producing hydrogen has traditionally been associated with high carbon emissions, but by using renewable electricity—e.g., The UK has awarded £7.5

Geothermal Energy Survives Trump’s Tax Law

Cars That Think

Incentives for wind and solar, however, are sharply curtailed , and subsidies for residential clean-energy projects will abruptly end after this year. Geothermal has long drawn bipartisan support and has so far dodged Trump’s broader attacks on renewable energy. The first phase of that project is set to come online in 2027.

IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial.

Study suggests arrays of closely-spaced counter-rotating vertical-axis wind turbines could enhance power density of wind farms by up to an order of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Dabiri suggests using optimized arrays of smaller vertical-axis wind turbines to increase the power density and reduce the cost, and visual, acoustic, radar and environmental impacts, of wind farms using giant horizontal-axis turbines. constraint limits the amount of power that can be extracted from a given wind farm footprint.

H2@Scale project launched in Texas; renewable hydrogen for multiple end-use applications

Green Car Congress

The project is supported by DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The project partners will generate zero-carbon hydrogen onsite via electrolysis with solar and wind power and reformation of renewable natural gas from a Texas landfill.
