Thermal Energy Storage Technologies
Monday, 06 December 2021
by sakudarte
One of the greatest barriers to the green energy transition is storing surplus power generation from renewables. Many technologies are capable of this, and many others are coming into the market as well. In the figure below is possible to have an overview of the whole spectrum of storage technologies. Figure 1: Energy Storage Technologies (source) A type of technology that has not been already exploited much consists of thermal energy storage. The plants that go under that category have very high energy and power capacities, allowing them to contribute significantly to a cleaner electricity mix. In fact, due to the increasing need of storing excess electricity from renewable sources, scalable and high efficient solutions have a big potential in the future. Thermal energy storage can store energy in form of heat thanks to an electricity-to-heat system, like a heat pump, for periods of

Scientists Mapped Every Large Solar Plant
Tuesday, 16 November 2021
by Lucas Kruitwagen
An astonishing 82% decrease in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy since 2010 has given the world a fighting chance to build a zero-emissions energy system which might be less costly than the fossil-fuelled system it replaces. The International Energy Agency projects that PV solar generating capacity must grow ten-fold by 2040 if we are to meet the dual tasks

The UK price spike reveals the need to accelerate the energy transition
Thursday, 23 September 2021
by sakudarte
A few months before the electricity and gas UK price spike – a joint publication by the UK government and Ofgem was published. The energy regulators set out a work program to deliver an intelligent and highly flexible energy system that will sustain the country’s energy security and the transition to net-zero. The plan aims to reduce

Speeding up the Italian Green Revolution
Wednesday, 04 August 2021
by sakudarte
In the period 1990-2019, total greenhouse gas emissions in Italy fell by 19% (Total CO2 equivalent emissions without land use, land-use change, and forestry), going from 519 Mt CO2eq to 418 Mt CO2eq. A significant part of these comes from transportation (25%), energy production (22%), and residential and agricultural consumption (19%). The reduction represents asignificant result, but is still far from the 2030 and

Agrovoltaico®, The new no-limit photovoltaics
Wednesday, 26 May 2021
by Giancarlo Ghidesi
Giancarlo Ghidesi, COO REM Tec The new Agrovoltaico® technology has the potential to unleash a chain of double value, for agriculture and fertile land but also for solar energy production: the interaction between the two is fundamental to help not only the energy transition, but also to avoid fertile land to be expropriated for one

How to create dual-value with Agrivoltaics technology
Thursday, 25 March 2021
by Green Dealflow
Agrivoltaics is a method that simultaneously uses agricultural land for food production and PV power generation. The energy transformation requires a massive expansion, resulting in high demand of space. In most countries, this issue is not resolvable due to mounting ground systems, therefore fertile land is very valuable and limited. This method solves this conflict by enabling food production and electricity generation
