Shipping groups are testing high-tech sails to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. We look at how this new approach to an old technology could help the industry towards its goal of 50% emissions reduction by 2050.
Canary Wharf Group recently signed a power purchase agreement with Brookfield to use wind power in its own operations. We consider how the wind and commercial property sectors could work more closely together.
Serbia is conducting its first renewable energy tender, but it is not the only country in the Western Balkans that is seeking more onshore wind capacity. We look at the state of onshore wind across the region.

Rising costs are forcing UK offshore wind developers to make tough choices about their projects, as Vattenfall's decision to put its 1.4GW Norfolk Boreas on hold shows. We consider what this means for offshore wind companies in UK and other European countries.
US interconnection waiting times are on the increase, with 680GW of storage queued, what can be done to increase the prospects of securing grid connections?
Wind will play a vital role in the energy transition as a standalone electricity source and an enabler of green fuel production. We caught up with Jeroen van Hoof, Vice Chair for the World Energy Congress in Rotterdam in April 2024, to discuss the big challenges for the energy transition.
Wind curtailment has cost the UK more than £1 billion in the last three years, highlighting the critical need for more energy storage
This month, Siemens Energy has set up a taskforce to get to the bottom of the turbine challenges in its subsidiary Siemens Gamesa, which forced the firm to withdraw is 2023 profit guidance. The company is set to reveal further details in its third-quarter results next month.
The start of construction on the long-awaited 3GW TransWest Express transmission line in the US is positive. But the project also shows the challenge that exists globally if countries are to unlock the $21.4trn investment that is needed to upgrade grids for net zero by 2050.

Ninety-five percent of global investment in renewables in 2022 went to the wind and solar sectors, which the International Renewable Energy Agency said is too much. But it also warned that annual investment in the energy transition must grow fourfold to $5trn a year.
Protests against Energix's 110MW Golan Heights project show that wind farms in the region are becoming more controversial. We look at the reasons behind the violence and whether resolution is possible.
The US will lose its position as the leading deployer of energy storage to Asia by the end of the decade, with China and India being the driving forces
