We know about the Loch Ness Pumped Hydro Storage Plan. A project that could double Scotland’s wind capacity and power 400,000 homes. Scotland is pursuing an aggressive offshore wind program that includes innovative technologies such as floating wind farms. In fact, you sometimes have too much renewable energy available. Intelligent Land Investments claims to have
Solar Plant, Seville. Image: Denis Zhitnik Shutterstock The government defines its own low emission strategy to move Spain towards a carbon neutral economy. When we talk about renewable energy and emissions, Spain is taking it seriously. They are already working on the energy plan that will set national targets for 2050. In a movement that
Jumping Lighting is a rope to jump with which the little ones while playing and jumping accumulate energy that they will later use thanks to a built-in LED lamp. Jumping Lighting is a jump rope that lights up its entire length and not just at the handles. This characteristic is a differentiating point from the
Energy transition. Image: Olivier Le Moal Shutterstock The transition to renewable energies is essential for the survival of the planet. Here are a number of key factors for its momentum. The Paris Agreement proposes a common climate policy to ensure the transition to a clean energy system, requiring differentiated efforts among the countries with the
Mendu Maanasa has won a prize of $25,000 in a young talent contest for inventing a device that allows to generate renewable energy in an affordable way, at an approximate cost of $5. The device captures the available energy around us to create clean energy. The device is called “Harvest” and uses a kind of
ACCIONA, a Spanish infrastructure, renewable energy and water group, has designed the first transoceanic regatta boat with power generation systems based entirely on renewable sources, the ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered. The boat has been officially presented in Barcelona by the President of ACCIONA, José Manuel Entrecanales, in the framework of the Global Clean Energy Conference 2011,
Sometimes it’s hard to find time to exercise due to housework, but that’s over;). Students from Dalian Nationalities University in China have designed a prototype stationary bike that will allow you to do two things at the same time: Do your laundry and get in shape. The bike incorporates a washing drum inside its front
Coal mine and wind turbines in Hambach, Germany. Image: Alice-D Shutterstock We started 2019 with a historical record . The research institute ZSW announced that German renewables surpassed coal for the first time in its history. Thanks to the increase in photovoltaic installations and the closures of plants and coal mines, renewable energy beat coal.
Luckily, science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds towards a future in which all energy is generated from renewable sources. Although this is a long-term goal, new eco-inventions are currently emerging that allow us to make this a cleaner planet; elements of our daily life that work thanks to elements of nature. One
Nuclear fusion is one of the great hopes for the energy of the future: clean and inexhaustible. Why is it not applied? Because, nobody has managed to translate the expectation into reality. Still. And it is that a private American company, Tri Alpha Energy, might not be so far from launching a fusion reactor in
