Floating solar panels on reservoirs could power a third of the world, study finds – Independent

14 May 2023 admin 0

The world’s 115,000 reservoirs hold the potential for a clean energy revolution, scientists say Solar panels installed on reservoirs could generate enough electricity to power a third of the world, according to a new study. Floating photovoltaic systems, known as “floatovoltaics”, also have the added benefits of reducing evaporation by shading the water, as well as preserving land for other uses. An international team of scientists calculated that 30 per cent coverage of global reservoirs could produce 9,434 terawatt hours (TWh) of power per year. This would meet more than twice the energy demand of the entire US annually. Annual global energy consumption [...]

Charles III: A green king? – E&T

7 May 2023 admin 0

“It all seems obvious to me,” King Charles III recently told German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, referring to the need for a green transition. During a boat ride to an electrolyser site in Hamburg’s harbour, the UK’s new monarch confessed he felt like he was becoming “a frustrated old man” over attitudes to the climate emergency. The King is certainly no stranger to the climate fight. Over the last 50 years, Charles III has been very public about his concern for the environment, with many of his statements blurring the lines of the Crown’s political neutrality. In this way, his accession to [...]

Electric Cars: This Will Make You Chuckle

30 April 2023 admin 0

Have just been sent this by a friend of mine and it made me laugh so I am reposting. Just to be clear I am not a fan of electric cars with the exception of a town car runabout, at which point a small electric car makes perfect sense. Here’s why: the standard small car battery holds 30 Kilowatt Hours (KWh). A “house” battery pack is 6 KWh. Estimatations of household use vary from 6 KWh per day to 15 KWh. And some electricity tariffs offer an overnight rate of 6 pence per KWh and daytime of 36 pence per KWh. Charge your small [...]

UK ministers review bidding process for funding new renewable energy projects – The Guardian

23 April 2023 admin 0

Ministers are considering an overhaul of the bidding process to fund new renewable energy projects in an effort to create green jobs, amid Joe Biden’s subsidy race. The government said on Monday it has begun a review of the “contracts for difference” (CfD) scheme, which is used to determine the price of electricity from offshore wind and solar farms, with the aim of adding factors such as how many jobs they create to the regular auctions. The move comes partially in response to the net zero review by the former energy minister Chris Skidmore and amid a global race to provide greater subsidies for [...]

UK ‘must act now on renewable energy or risk being left behind’ – The Guardian

8 April 2023 admin 0

Government needs to introduce new ambitious energy policies before next general election, advisers say Ministers must take control of the UK’s energy system, removing the barriers to planning permission and problems with the national electricity grid, to build the windfarms and other renewable power needed to meet net-zero goals, government advisers have warned. Chris Stark, chief executive of the committee on climate change, the statutory adviser, said the task was too urgent to wait until after a general election, expected within the next 18 months. “It would be an enormous mistake to wait until the next general election to introduce new ambitious [...]
