"The technology has been designed to be modular to achieve short construction times, which could be a key enabler for scaling the technology in the future. The company is also powering the plant with clean energy from ON Power’s Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plan, minimising the plant’s impact. This is the company’s largest plant so far, intended to capture around 4,000 tons of CO2 per year.”
Hyundai makes its move on electric vehicle tech
“Hyundai said models built on the platform will have range of over 310 miles and will be able to charge up to 80% within 18 minutes at high-speed charging stations.”
Engineers Are Building Huge Salt Caves to Store Huge Amounts of Hydrogen
“‘The project would initially have enough energy to power 150,000 households for one year and is scheduled to be operational by 2025.'"
Why The Navy Is Becoming A Powerful Force For Clean Energy
“In May 2019, the Navy and Kauai Island Utility Cooperative launched a partnership to expand renewable energy at the Pacific Missile Range Facility. Their plan calls for the development of a 19.3 megawatt solar facility in conjunction with a 70 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system to reduce the installation’s reliance on diesel generators.”
Nuclear Is Big Part of Duke Energy’s Carbon Plan: Summit Update
Saijel Kishan and Alastair Marsh of Bloomberg report that nuclear energy is going to be a major part of Duke Energy’s plan moving forward. “Nuclear energy is a key part of Duke Energy Corp.’s plan to eliminate carbon emissions by 2050, according to CEO Lynn Good. As the company moves to retire coal-fired power plants,...
Forging the path for renewable energy in Utah: Drilling begins on geothermal well in Milford
"Of the 3,000 marked geothermal wells and springs, three geothermal power plants in Utah produce 73 megawatts of power, which can provide power to about 73,000 homes. The goal of the new well in Milford is to test new technology to make geothermal an even better option for sustainable, green energy."
Solar Power Booms in Texas
“It is part of a growing number of solar projects in sunny, land-rich Texas, where experts long predicted solar farms would bloom. Solar-farm development in Texas is expected to accelerate in the coming years as generation costs fall and power demand grows. That growth puts it on track to claim a much larger share of a power market dominated by wind farms and natural-gas power plants.”
Innovative Carbon Capture Solutions Proposed To Help Achieve Net-Zero World
“More than 30 commercial facilities have been announced across the world in the last three years. Potential investment in CCUS projects is estimated at around $27 billion, more than double the level of investment planned in 2017."
Small Nuclear Reactors Would Provide Carbon-Free Energy, but Would They Be Safe?
"For one thing, each modular reactor can be switched on and off flexibly, meaning that the reactors can be paired as an energy source with the intermittent power generation of renewables like solar and wind, he said.”
Invenergy Announces 1.3GW Series of Solar Projects in Texas
“The greatest portion of Samson’s power output will go to telecommunications giant AT&T, which has signed a power-purchase agreement for 500 megawatts of capacity — a record purchase for the United States in the commercial and industrial domain."
