Extreme temperature events are often accompanied by greater solar radiation and higher wind speeds that could be captured by solar panels and wind turbines.
Solar power accounted for three quarters of renewables capacity additions, of which PV in China alone topped the entire 2022 global figure.
Europe installed 18.3 GW of new wind power capacity in 2023. The EU-27 installed 16.2 GW of this, a record amount but only half of what it should be building to meet its 2030 climate and energy targets.
Solar power (also known as photovoltaics, or PV) is likely to become the dominant power source worldwide by 2050, according to a new study.
Australian scientists have invented a next-generation solar panel capable of healing itself when damaged in space.
The MAPLE experiment was able to wirelessly transfer collected solar power to receivers in space and direct energy to Earth
Scientists in the US have developed a device that can harvest humidity in the air to create a clean electricity supply. According to the researchers “nearly any material can be turned into a device that harvests electricity from air”.
Japan marked progress toward its green energy transition with the start of a new offshore wind farm at Noshiro Port in Akita Prefecture.
Construction of the world’s first offshore wind farm featuring 16 megawatt (MW) wind turbines has started in China.
The facility will generate energy that is equivalent to 370 million cubic meters of gas per year.
The record-breaking 2022 EU solar market is 38% or 10 GW higher than what SolarPower Europe expected one year ago.
Amazon's purchases last year bring the company closer to powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of its original 2030 target.
An international team researched a method to split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 % efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis.
The team showed that the device could run efficiently for 12 consecutive days and produced hydrogen with 99 percent purity.
The first power on Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm in the UK was achieved recently. When fully operational, Hornsea 2’s 165 8 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbines will be capable of generating 1.32 GW of clean electricity.
