The renewable energy landscape is changing rapidly. Advances in technology are powering a green energy renaissance in general, and many alternative power sources are being enhanced, developed, and promoted. These breakthroughs can be anticipated to...
Largely unchanged for decades, the U.S. electricity grid faces immense pressure to support the growing demand for renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and a rising population. Much of the grid infrastructure is reminiscent of the days...
There’s nothing stopping us from mowing the lawn with a weed whacker, hammering in nails with a wrench, or eating soup with a fork. But we generally don’t, because we know that using the right tool is a big part of getting the job...
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that by 2050, renewables will account for 27 percent of primary energy consumption, thanks to new technologies that will make renewable energy more cost-effective. According to The American...
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the CHIPS Act have been the most significant policies passed in the modern era. The two together have brought about a half trillion in private investments and $300b in public infrastructure spending to the...
In ongoing discussions around net zero, heavy-emitting sectors have taken center stage, primarily due to their reliance on fossil fuels. Hard-to-abate industries account for about 30 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so their...
Cyberattackers love renewables. This is because they meet many of the key characteristics that make them prime targets. First, renewables pioneer and employ new technology. Threat actors feed off new technology because it allows them to target...
Much of the world was represented at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris in 2015. A total of 196 Parties signed onto a commitment for emissions of carbon dioxide to be reduced by 45 percent by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050 to keep...
Clean energy growth continues to outpace projections. By early 2025, renewable energy sources are projected to...
As industrial operations look for opportunities to decrease their carbon emissions, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and battery-electric vehicles have emerged as potential solutions. These power options generate
