North Korea, a nation often enveloped in secrecy and seclusion, is starting to examine the unrealized capabilities of energy retention technologies. As the globe advances towards an eco-friendly and more sustainable future, it becomes vital for every country to put…
Spain has the potential to abolish financial constraints on renewables through 15GW of enduring energy storage
Around 5% of Spain’s renewable energy production may experience financial constraints from 2025 to 2030, but extensive energy storage (EES) could lessen or completely eradicate that necessity. This is a significant finding from an investigation into Spain’s energy sector by…
Unleashing the Power of Green Energy: Evolutions and Breakthroughs
In the current climate, there is a rising acknowledgment of the pressing obligation to transition towards renewable energy sources. As we grapple with the fallout from climate change and the exhaustion of fossil fuels, the immense possibilities of green energy…
The Ever-Swinging Energy Pendulum: Can Neutrinos Steady the Motion?
What do the rhythmic swings of a pendulum and our world’s energy systems have in common? It’s not just about motion, nor is it solely about the mechanistic transfer of energy. It is about storage. Imagine the pendulum, poised at…
Energy Storage: The Pending Challenge for Renewable Energies
The shift towards an energy matrix based on renewable sources is a global priority to combat climate change. However, one of the main limitations of renewable energy is its intermittency. Hydroelectric power plants rely on precipitation and snowmelt, just as…
The Next Energy Frontier: Neutrino Energy and the End of Storage Woes
Renewable energy sources, like the sun and wind, hold a tantalizing promise: an abundant, inexpensive alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Yet, this promise comes with a catch. The very nature of these resources is their inherent unpredictability. The sun, generous…
TES: The energy storage technology inspired by nature
This energy storage system is so simple it’s revolutionary: instead of using “rare earth” minerals or raw materials that are only found in certain regions of the planet, it uses regular stones that store heat, generate steam, and then expand…
Is there a second chance for concentrated solar power?
To use an old sports cliche, it isn't about how you start, but rather how you end that matters. Concentrated solar power's beginnings in the United States may be characterized as a splutter. In the United States, CSP has an…
Equinor makes an equity investment in Noriker Power
Equinor, the Norwegian oil and gas conglomerate, has purchased a 45 percent investment in Noriker Power, a UK utility-scale energy storage and stability services company. In addition to the equity investment, the two businesses have agreed on a strategic collaboration,…
