Government officials, leaders in business and finance and representatives from research institutions mingled at the governor’s mansion Thursday as part of the state’s promotion of a business and research park devoted to accelerating the transition to a renewable-energy future. Global Energy Park, or Glo Park, is planned for about 10 acres next to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden. Gov. Jared Polis unveiled plans in 2021 for the park, which will be built on a site put together through a series of land…

U.S. production of renewable diesel hit 5 million gallons a day for the first time in January, according to recent U.S. Energy Information Administration data, continuing a two-year boom.The biofuel is a key part of federal and state government plans to mitigate climate change by cutting carbon emissions. Production has swelled since 2021. Incentives from the Environmental Protection Agency and the state of California, combined with pandemic-depressed demand for conventional fuels, motivated many energy companies to start…

Because of the impressive array of metals they contain, at least one company has likened each nodule to a battery in a rock. That’s why over the past decade, companies have begun to explore the possibility of commercial mining operations in the deep sea, mostly in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.  But not everyone is on board with this use of the ocean, because a lot of life is found in and around these nodule fields, from corals and sea cucumbers, to worms and dumbo octopuses, not to mention all the tiny creatures we…

Renewables are already producing more energy than fossil fuels in Europe, and now the US is approaching that milestone. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has determined that renewable power generation overtook coal in 2022, with 4,090 million megawatt-hours coming from solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal technology. These green sources leapt past nuclear in 2021, but widened the gap last year. They have about 21 percent share combined. The shift came through the combination of increasing…

In a groundbreaking development, researchers have successfully “hacked” the initial stages of photosynthesis – the natural process that fuels the majority of life on Earth. By uncovering new techniques to extract energy from this process, the findings could potentially pave the way for generating clean fuel and renewable energy solutions in the future.

What if we could mimic how plants, algae, and bacteria harvest sunlight to create better solar panels? New research published Wednesday in Nature explores the molecular nitty-gritty of photosynthesis, and it may help us get closer to making this a reality.Young students learn about photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight and water into energy. But despite how seemingly basic the concept is, there are actually lots of mysteries remaining about how it works: namely, the photophysics of the process, the…

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Wednesday urged telecommunication companies to adopt a modern and more energy-efficient network to reduce carbon emissions emanating from the sector. NCC disclosed this during its 2023 World Consumer Right event tagged “Empowering consumers through clean energy transition”, held at the NCC’s Communications and Digital Economy Complex, Abuja. Speaking at the event, the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Umar Danbatta, said with the recent…

An analysis published in Scientific Reports reveals that over 2 million citizens in 30 European countries have participated in thousands of projects and initiatives aimed at transitioning to renewable energy. The investments made in these efforts ranged from 6.2 to 11.3 billion Euros. The analysis emphasizes the significance of collective action in Europe’s decarbonization efforts.More than two million citizens across 30 European countries have been involved in thousands of projects and initiatives as part of efforts to…
