WIND AND SOLAR TOP 10% OF GLOBAL POWER GENERATION FOR FIRST TIME – EQ Mag Pro
Renewables made a record contribution to global grids in 2021, but coal-fired power and emissions jumped to new highs, according to BloombergNEF’s Power Transition Trends London, São Paulo : The world’s wind and solar projects combined to meet more than a tenth of global electricity demand for the first time in 2022, according to research […]
The Big Weird Batteries That May Help Avert Climate Catastrophe – EQ Mag Pro
As the planet gets hotter, engineers are racing to find ways to store renewable energy on a massive scale—before it’s too late. Burning fossil fuels churned out by Big Oil can power the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, sending electricity almost anywhere near-instantaneously. Unfortunately, this very effective (and profitable) source of […]

They discussed innovative ways to ensure longer-term, more diversified food production and food delivery systems that can better manage global food shocks New Delhi: The I2U2 group will advance a hybrid renewable energy project in Gujarat consisting of 300 […]
New wind and solar saved $82bn in fossil fuel costs in 2021, but supply pressures loom – EQ Mag Pro
Global wind and solar technologies continued to achieve massive declines in cost last year, but observers warn the full impacts of the current supply chain and commodity crunch have yet to be fully felt across energy markets. In a new report, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that wind and solar technologies achieved double-digit […]
Wind and solar beat nuclear and coal in the US for the first time in April – EQ Mag Pro
April was a milestone month for utility-scale wind and solar generation in the U.S. For the first time, the two renewable resources generated more electricity than coal or nuclear power. According to data from the Energy Information Administration, utility-scale wind and solar produced 57.73 million megawatt-hours (MWh) during the month, while coal and nuclear both […]
