The cost of living crisis means more people are considering going off-grid, and a new study shows that energy storage could enable two million family homes in Europe to do just that
The Irish Government has unveiled changes to its second offshore wind tender that the industry said have created “massive levels of uncertainty”. We look at what this means for the up-to-80GW of offshore wind projects in development in Irish waters.
Despite warnings that lithium supplies will not be able to keep up with future demand, imminent improvements in lithium-ion battery design mean reliance on the metal could be greatly reduced
The European Hydrogen Bank is part of the EU's response to US incentives for green hydrogen in the Inflation Reduction Act. We look at its goals and some of the immediate questions from industry.
China has a 79 per cent share of global lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity, but Germany is set to overtake the US as its biggest challenger
US energy storage capacity additions are expected to surpass those of natural gas in 2023, but interconnection problems could jeopardise progress
The Inflation Reduction Act has sparked major optimism in the US renewables sector, but wind installations still fell 37% last year.
ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM Company have this week reached an $8.5bn financial close for their NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia, which is set to produce 600 tonnes of green hydrogen each day. We look at why this close is significant for the nascent green hydrogen sector.
