An expert says current battery developments only just scratch the surface of Victoria's energy storage needs, as Pacific Green Australia announces plans to construct a 30-hectare grid-scale battery park in Portland.
As we know, solar produces virtually nothing in winter, and if wind power is down to 10% of capacity, that would provide only 16 GW.
Australians were promised making energy cleaner would make it cheaper, but after two years of steep price rises, industry insiders are casting doubt on when that will happen.
Marie Mumford couldn't see the benefit in a home battery when rooftop solar was installed at her home in the Queensland city of Bundaberg. But now her excess energy could be used to help her neighbours at night.
Electric car owners, including Tesla Model Y's, are experiencing escalating insurance costs, with some renewals going up to £5,000 or more. Several insurance brands, including Aviva, are refusing to cover electric cars....
California is exploring a unique type of battery to help power the clean energy revolution: compressed air batteries. This underground $1 billion battery is a giant, clean energy generator that could change the game for sustainable...
Those subsidies are providing financial incentives to the developing countries mining for those green materials to continue their exploitation of poor people and environmental degradation of their landscapes.
In order for electric planes to play a more significant role in decarbonizing air travel, energy density may need to quadruple,
The Report is an exercise by genius would-be central planners concocting enormously complex models that just happen to come to the results that the authors are hoping for, while at the same time they avoid ever directly addressing...
If the World Bank and British government follow through on their plan to ban the combustion engine, they may well have riots on their hands.
StoreDot, the Israel-based, extremely fast-charging battery startup, has created a technology for self-repairing battery cells. The technology allows for longer battery life and better electric vehicle performance. This new...
But that will happen only when winds are blowing at speeds required for full rated capacity, perhaps 40-45% of the year, sporadically and unpredictably...
A North Carolina town with fewer than 3,000 citizens and known for its antiques festival is about to be on the cutting edge of the electric vehicle revolution...
In order to support a buildout of renewable energy, which tends to over-generate electricity at certain times of day and under-generate at others, the grid is going to need a lot of batteries...
Bill Gates has solved many problems in his (professional) life, and in recent decades, he’s been dedicated to the plight of the world’s poor and particularly their health...
