New Report Says Wave Energy to Have Key Role in Realizing UK’s Energy Ambitions
Wave energy is one of the world’s largest untapped renewable energy sources. This is about to change thanks to a recent commercial breakthrough from CorPower Ocean, combined with a new report from LUT University, demonstrating a key role for the technology in the UK’s future energy mix.
German electrolyser manufacturer Sunfire has announced a significant financial milestone with 215 million euros raised in a Series E equity financing round, further complemented by a term loan of up to 100 million euros provided by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and access to approximately 200 million euros from previously approved grant funding.
Energy Storage Systems Transform Power Supply for Future E18 Western Corridor in Norway
Skanska is working on the construction of the future E18 highway outside Oslo, Norway. To complete the Strand-Ramstadsletta stretch and to cover the high energy demand required on-site while meeting environmental goals, Skanska relies on a battery-based energy storage system from Atlas Copco for optimized power distribution and consumption.
Biomass Power Association Re-Brands as American Biomass Energy Association
The Biomass Power Association (BPA) announced it is changing its name, effective immediately, to the American Biomass Energy Association (ABEA). The announcement was made by ABEA Executive Director Carrie Annand on the first day of the 17th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo in Richmond, Virginia.
ABB and CERN Identify 17.4% Energy-Saving Opportunity in Heating and Ventilation Motors
ABB and CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, have identified significant energy-saving potential through a strategic research partnership focused on the cooling and ventilation system at one of the world’s leading laboratories for particle physics institute, located in Geneva, Switzerland. The study included energy efficiency audits which have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4 percent across a fleet of 800 motors.
Researchers closer to finding solution to hydrogen causing embrittlement in steels
Why hydrogen causes steels to become brittle and crack is the great conundrum of engineers and researchers looking to develop large-scale transport and storage solutions for the hydrogen age – an era Australia hopes to lead by 2030.
Will a net zero future be powered by hydrogen?
