Battery Storage Paves Way for a Renewable-Powered Future
Battery storage systems are emerging as one of the key solutions to effectively integrate high shares of solar and wind renewables in power systems worldwide. A recent analysis from the International Renewable...
Under What Conditions Will Clean Energy Become The Norm?
Even as renewables become a more common energy source around the world, they still face major obstacles. Some barriers are inherent with all new technologies; others are the result of skewed regulatory...
Global Energy-Related CO2 Emissions Flattened in 2019, Following Two Years of Increases
Global emission trends
Global energy-related CO2 emissions flattened in 2019 at around 33 gigatonnes (Gt), following two years of increases. This resulted mainly from a sharp decline in CO2 emissions from the power...
City Roadmap 2050 Supports Low-Carbon Winter Olympics 2022 in China
The Chinese city of Zhangjiakou has stepped up its efforts to deploy renewable energy systems, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) finds. The Agency’s first ever roadmap 2050...
Offshore Windfarms ‘Can Provide More Electricity Than the World Needs’
Erecting wind turbines on the world’s best offshore sites could provide more than enough clean energy to meet global electricity demand, according to a report.A detailed study of the world’s coastlines has...
Asia Poised to Become Dominant Market for Wind Energy
Asia could grow its share of installed capacity for onshore wind from 230 Gigawatt (GW) in 2018 to over 2600 GW by 2050, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency...
Renewable Energy to Expand by 50% in Next Five Years – Report
Global supplies of renewable electricity are growing faster than expected and could expand by 50% in the next five years, powered by a resurgence in solar energy.The International Energy Agency (IEA) found...
After Stalling Last Year, Renewable Power Capacity Additions to Hit Double-Digit Growth in 2019
After stalling last year, global capacity additions of renewable power are set to bounce back with double-digit growth in 2019, driven by solar PV’s strong performance, according to the International Energy Agency.The...
Turning Europe into a Giant Wind Farm Could Power the Entire World
On windy days, Europe's growing number of wind farms can run entire nations on clean energy. But what if there were turbines in every potential location? Scientists have calculated that in such...
Low-Carbon Energy Makes Majority of UK Electricity for First Time
Low-carbon energy was used to generate more than half of the electricity used in the UK for the first time last year, according to official data.
