Wind and solar made up 12 per cent of global energy generation in 2022, up from 10 per cent the previous year A boom in wind and solar has pushed the amount of electricity produced by renewable energy to record levels last year, according to a new analysis, a media report said. The use of […]
Wind and solar hit record 12 per cent of global power generation last year – EQ Mag
London : Energy think-tank Ember’s report forecasts that from 2023, wind and solar will push world into new era of falling fossil generation Wind and solar reached a record 12% share of global electricity generation last year, up from 10% in 2021, according to the latest Global Electricity Review released Wednesday by independent energy think-tank […]
After a bumpy year, renewable energy looks poised for boom times – EQ Mag
The future has never been brighter for renewable energy, as some of the snags that kept wind and solar production from going full throttle this year seem poised to ease. While site- and grid-permitting delays, inflation and supply-chain bottlenecks beset the creation and adoption of renewable energy this past year and will pose lingering hurdles, […]
In Australia, firms plan ‘super hub’ to produce green hydrogen using wind and solar – EQ Mag Pro
Fortescue Future Industries says it’s partnering with another firm called Windlab on the project, known as the North Queensland Super Hub. “Energy generated from the project stands to produce green hydrogen as well as feed renewable power to the grid,” FFI says. Hydrogen has a diverse range of applications and can be deployed in a […]
WIND AND SOLAR TOP 10% OF GLOBAL POWER GENERATION FOR FIRST TIME – EQ Mag Pro
Renewables made a record contribution to global grids in 2021, but coal-fired power and emissions jumped to new highs, according to BloombergNEF’s Power Transition Trends London, São Paulo : The world’s wind and solar projects combined to meet more than a tenth of global electricity demand for the first time in 2022, according to research […]
The Big Weird Batteries That May Help Avert Climate Catastrophe – EQ Mag Pro
As the planet gets hotter, engineers are racing to find ways to store renewable energy on a massive scale—before it’s too late. Burning fossil fuels churned out by Big Oil can power the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, sending electricity almost anywhere near-instantaneously. Unfortunately, this very effective (and profitable) source of […]
Wind and Solar Power Industry Bodies Join Forces to Drive Investment into Africa’s Energy Transition – EQ Mag Pro
Brussels : The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the industry representative body for the wind energy industry globally, and SolarPower Europe, a member-led association for the European solar PV sector, have signed an agreement with RenewAfrica, and the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), to jointly organise the Africa Renewables Investment Summit (ARIS) – an event […]
I2U2 group will advance hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat consisting of 300 megawatts of wind and solar capacity: Joint statement – EQ Mag Pro
The I2U2 leaders inaugural meeting on Thursday focused on the food security crisis and clean energy. They discussed innovative ways to ensure longer-term, more diversified food production and food delivery systems that can better manage global food shocks New Delhi: The I2U2 group will advance a hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat consisting of 300 […]
New wind and solar saved $82bn in fossil fuel costs in 2021, but supply pressures loom – EQ Mag Pro
Global wind and solar technologies continued to achieve massive declines in cost last year, but observers warn the full impacts of the current supply chain and commodity crunch have yet to be fully felt across energy markets. In a new report, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that wind and solar technologies achieved double-digit […]
Wind and solar beat nuclear and coal in the US for the first time in April – EQ Mag Pro
April was a milestone month for utility-scale wind and solar generation in the U.S. For the first time, the two renewable resources generated more electricity than coal or nuclear power. According to data from the Energy Information Administration, utility-scale wind and solar produced 57.73 million megawatt-hours (MWh) during the month, while coal and nuclear both […]
