Nuclear energy stakeholders have been cheering the goings-on over at the COP 28 climate conference, where the US has joined a new 20-nation pledge to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. Whether or not they make that goal depends on investor interest, and plenty of other players in the decarbonization field are competing for attention, too. [...]
An Australian company has successfully demonstrated its green H2 production tech prototype. Sparc Hydrogen has announced the successful testing of its prototype photocatalytic water-splitting reactor, a water-splitting green hydrogen tech that uses concentrated solar as an alternative to the conventional electrolysis method. The prototype was demonstrated at a CSIRO facility in Australia. The successful test [...]
El 60,3% de la producción eléctrica del mes fue renovable, entre eólica, hidráulicam fotovoltaica y termosolar, la mayor cuota en el mix nacional desde que se cuenta con registros. El 3 de noviembre se convierte en la jornada con la mayor cuota diaria de generación renovable, con el 73,3% del total. La demanda eléctrica nacional [...]
UAE’s leading clean energy hub: Al Maktoum solar park and innovation center spotlight ahead of COP28
As the global focus intensifies on sustainable solutions and climate action with the impending COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park at Dubai emerges as a shining example of the nation’s commitment to renewable energy innovation. Boasting the title of the world’s largest single-site Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project in [...]
Protermosolar ha enviado a los medios de comunicación un comunicado en el que celebra la continuidad en el Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico de Teresa Ribera, ya que permitirá dar continuidad y mejorar las políticas de transición ecológica llevadas a cabo hasta el momento. La asociación espera que en esta nueva [...]
Denmark’s Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU) announced on Friday that it has sold the 45% stake it held in the 34-MW Pampa Elvira Solar thermal plant in Chile to Canada’s Innergex Renewable Energy. Innergex, which already owned 55% interest in the plant, finalised the acquisition for USD 5.5 million (EUR 5.03m), becoming the sole [...]
ACWA Power announced that it has received the initial commercial operation certificate from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to operate the second phase of the Noor Energy 1 independent power project. The Noor Energy project, touted to be the largest single-site concentrated solar power plant, is located in the fourth phase of the Mohammed [...]
Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the first batch of methodologies for four voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects: afforestation carbon sequestration, grid-connected solar thermal power generation, grid-connected offshore wind power generation, and mangrove forest construction. Solar energy, as an inexhaustible and renewable energy source on Earth, is commonly associated with photovoltaic power [...]
Within just two years, the largest clean energy power plant of South Africa has emerged out of nothing on the vast wilderness in Northern Cape. It is the 100MW Redstone concentrated solar thermal power plant constructed by POWERCHINA in South Africa, a country thousands of miles away from China. Rendering of Redstone CSP in South Africa [...]
A new report from the Australian Solar Thermal Research Institute shows that concentrated solar power has a major role to play in cost-effectively decarbonising electricity, industry and fuels over the short- and long-term. Image: CSIRO October 2023 may prove to be a turning point in Australia’s energy transition. For the first time, I heard broader [...]
