“At the heart of the design is a flexible pad or membrane on which the PV modules sit and that is able to ride the swell and dampen the impact of any particularly large waves. An added advantage is that by reducing the air gap between the modules and water level, a cooling effect increases yield by around 5 percent compared to systems where modules sit higher above the water.”
New York City’s Biggest Power Producer Aims to Import Renewable Energy From Upstate
"New York City has millions of electricity customers but limited space to generate wind or solar power. Upstate New York has more plentiful and affordable land but relatively little demand for electricity. The transmission line would connect supply with demand.”
World’s Ice Is Melting Faster Than Ever, Climate Scientists Say
“Between 1994 and 2017, the Earth lost 28 trillion metric tons of ice, the survey showed. That is an amount roughly equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 meters thick covering the state of Michigan or the entire U.K."
President Biden’s Inaugural Climate Move Should Be Saving Nuclear Reactors Slated For Closure
“The reason to keep those nuclear plants operating is obvious: they play a critical role in reducing emissions from the electricity sector."
There is a lot of money on the table with carbon markets. But farmers are skeptical.
“Regenerative farming not only has been proven to mitigate erosion and boost soil health — it may also be a huge opportunity to reduce the U.S. carbon footprint, gaining popularity among environmentalists as a potential tool in the fight against climate change.”
Gulfstream Leads The Skies In Sustainability
“Since [2009], Gulfstream’s robust sustainability programme has grown to include aircraft operational efficiency, eco-friendly buildings and the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for its corporate, demonstration, customer support and flight test fleets in Savannah."
Facing green push on farm, fertilizer makers look to sea for growth
“By altering the production process for ammonia normally used for fertilizer, the companies told Reuters they can produce hydrogen for fuel or a form of carbon-free ammonia used either as a carrier for hydrogen or as a marine fuel to power cargo and even cruise ships."
Wind Power Overtakes Coal In Texas For The First Time Ever
“In 2020, for the first time ever, wind power overtook coal in the state’s overall energy mix, 'the latest sign of renewable energy’s rising prominence in America’s fossil fuel heartland' according to reporting by the Financial Times this week.”
Almost All New US Power Plants Built in 2021 Will Be Carbon-Free
“Solar will deliver the most new capacity, with 39 percent, according to the latest tally by the U.S. Energy Information Administration."
Carbon capture is vital to meeting climate goals, scientists tell green critics
“‘Carbon capture and storage is going to be the only effective way we have in the short term to prevent our steel industry, cement manufacture and many other processes from continuing to pour emissions into the atmosphere.’"
