Despite predictions in the United States and elsewhere of a nuclear "renaissance," the report concludes that the role of nuclear power was in steady decline even before the Fukushima crisis. The disaster will make the construction of new nuclear plants and extensions to the lifetime of current plants even more unrealistic.

The new stadium, which will replace 57-year-old Fouts Field, is designed by award-winning architects HKS Sports & Entertainment Group (www.hksinc.com), the firm that designed the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. The UNT System will be seeking LEED Gold or Platinum certification. If the project is awarded LEED Platinum, it will be the first of its type to achieve this rating in the country.

Aggressive government incentives are set to trigger booming growth in solar installations in Ontario, Canada, in 2010—but regulations requiring the use of locally sourced photovoltaic (PV) products will cause the expansion to slow dramatically in 2011, according to market research firm iSuppli Corp.

Home solar power systems are something you have almost certainly heard something about before; and this and other alternative energy sources are becoming more widely used. Increased public awareness of the dangers posed by global warming has spurred many to look into the possibility of using solar power.

India is so large and diverse it is hard to classify it. India is, as you will no doubt know, the name given to the vast peninsula which the continent of Asia throws out to the south of the magnificent mountain ranges that stretch in a curve across the southern border of Tibet. Shaped like an irregular quadrilateral, this large …

By adding a wind turbine to your home, you are providing an alternate source of energy. Creating electricity using windmill power< can help you reduce what you pay for utilities. Consider being able to live where power lines just won't go, or having power during a storm. Having a wind turbine would be a real advantage for situations like these. …

Currently, the use of solar panels is on very small scale compared to the use of fossil fuels. This does not go for just solar energy, but also wind energy, geothermal, and tidal. The use of renewable electricity only makes up for a small percentage of a nations actual power output. There are however, some countries who are able to …

With the rise of power-hungry applications like AI and data centers, it’s critical that the performance of renewable energy sources keeps pace. Researchers in the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Department of Chemistry are exploring ways to improve the efficiency of a promising new type of solar cell made from perovskite crystals. Perovskites are a group of materials noted for their …

Driving R&D Excellence in Refining Low Carbon Products: Unlocking Brazil’s Untapped Biomass Potential The global refining and petrochemicals landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation. What was once a linear, fossil-centric value chain is rapidly shifting toward a diversified ecosystem built on low carbon products. This shift is no longer driven solely by compliance pressures—it is anchored in strategic competitiveness, supply …

(WASHINGTON, DC) — The Trump administration has launched an unprecedented attack on America’s offshore wind industry, directing six federal agencies – including the Health and Human Services Department and the Defense Department – to draft plans to undermine renewable energy projects already underway. The White House, led by Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Senior Adviser Stephen Miller, has halted …

By harnessing the power of nature, engineers are looking to tap into vortex wind as a source of abundant energy When it comes to alternative energies, wind and solar power are currently attracting about 95% of all investments worldwide, according to a recent report from IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency). Both are considered excellent alternative energy sources: clean, renewable, and produce minimal …

By Joel Jaeger, Katrina McLaughlin, Lori Bird and Karl Hausker   Building a clean, reliable, cost-effective power grid will require many different types of energy. The bulk will come from solar and wind; but since these aren’t available 24/7, 365 days a year, they must be paired with a smaller amount of clean, “firm” power that’s always available when needed. Geothermal energy, nuclear energy and …

 $1.2 Trillion+ opportunity for Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) developers globally says UK report 1  FOW developers urged to learn lessons from European deployment Seoul, South Korea, 27 November 2024 — As the global wind industry prepares for GWEC’s Wind Energy Summit in South Korea later this week, Principle Power and Shoreline Wind demonstrate how Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) has moved …

The international biofuels industry has found an unlikely ally in the waste management sector. A heightened global urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) is incentivizing renewable fuels production like never before, but the International Energy Agency (IEA) recently warned of an impending feedstock shortage for biodiesel, renewable diesel and biojet (aviation fuel) production, estimated to last through 2027 if …

Brittany unveils study demonstrating its tidal power potential At the end of 2023, Brittany formalized its support for the tidal turbine industry by joining Ocean Energy Europe, the world’s largest network of ocean energy professionals (manufacturers, researchers and local authorities). To step up the development of tidal power along its 2,470 km coastline, in spring 2023 the Brittany Region commissioned a …
