World’s First Technology To Measure Electricity Grid Stability Announced
Reactive Technology and the UK’s grid operator National Grid have this week announced the completion of the world’s first technology which is able to continuously measure and monitor an electricity grid’s stability, or system inertia. UK-based environmental engineering company Reactive…
World Can Meet Growing Food Demands and Limit Warming to 1.5°C, Study Says
Agriculture and food production is responsible for around 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Slashing the sector’s emissions is considered to be key to limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, which is the aspirational target of the…
Ambitious 1.5C Paris Climate Target is Still Possible, New Analysis Shows
The highly ambitious aim of limiting global warming to less than 1.5C remains in reach, a new scientific analysis shows. The 1.5C target was set as an aspiration by the global Paris climate change deal in 2015 to limit the…
NEW UNCCD REPORT: Governments Tackle Interlinked Challenges of Land Loss and Climate Change
A new UN report says that mismanagement of land coupled with the impacts of a changing climate are key factors responsible for the loss of valuable agricultural land. Current management practices in the land-use sector contributes to about 25 per…
AEMO Will Trial Ability Of Wind Farms To Stabilize South Australia’s Grid
An Australia-first trial to demonstrate the ability of wind farms to provide crucial grid stabilising services traditionally supplied by “baseload” coal and gas plants, is now set to begin in October. The South Australia-based trial, first flagged in February, and…
Europe Must Triple Offshore Wind Growth Rate To Bring Paris Goals Within Reach
If Europe is to fall in line with the Paris Climate Agreement intention of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the region must significantly increase its rate of growth for offshore wind development, tripling it at the very…
REN21: Solar PV ‘Star Performer’ in 2016
According to a new analysis of data, last year solar was the “star performer” in terms of new electricity generation, as renewables once again outstripped fossil fuels. The annual survey by REN21, the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st…
