5 smart renewable energy innovations - The World Economic Forum The need for renewable energy innovation has never been greater In its 2023 report, Fostering Effective Energy Transition, the World Economic Forum says that 95% of countries have improved their total Energy Transition Index score over the past decade, but there has been only "marginal growth" in the past three years Discover
These breakthroughs are making solar panels more efficient Most modern solar cells have an efficiency of around 20% Image: Unsplash Zbynek Burival Experts are working to improve the power conversion rate of solar technology Innovations such as panels using perovskites are showing promising results A World Economic Forum report also suggests quantum computing could help design more efficient panels
These innovative solar farms prove renewable energy’s worth | World . . . If 30% of this was converted to solar, it would save an estimated 36,400 hectares of land and generate 18,000 megawatts of power, according to Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited The state launched the first large-scale canal-top solar power plant in 2015 Canal solar projects have since been commissioned in another eight Indian
This technology turns windows into solar panels, here’s how A Netherlands-based company called Physee says it is installing 15,000 of its ‘SmartWindows’ in office buildings across Europe These are windows that contain both power-generating solar cells and sensor technology that helps manage the building’s energy use and comfort The windows will cut building energy costs by up to 30%, Physee says
This is how #solar energys growth is impacting #climate action Solar energy is growing faster than any other energy technology in history and is expected to completely replace fossil fuels worldwide by 2050 The increasing affordability of solar energy provides our greatest opportunity for swiftly mitigating climate change Here are four charts that demonstrate the transformative impact of solar energy in
5 battery storage innovations helping us transition to a clean energy . . . Energy Transition The use-it-or-lose-it nature of many renewable energy sources makes battery storage a vital part of the global transition to clean energy New power storage solutions can help decarbonize sectors ranging from data centres to road transport Several battery technologies are being helped to scale with the support of the World
4 clever ways to store renewable energy without batteries. | World . . . Pumped hydro energy storage Hydropower is by far the world’s biggest source of renewable electricity generation Hydropower accounts for more than 60% of global renewable energy generation Image: Our World in Data Pumped hydroelectric storage operates according to similar principles to gravity-based energy storage
Renewable energy: Production of wind, solar and hydro energy is rising . . . The IEA sees a 20% year-on-year increase in renewable energy capacity in 2022 Image: Unsplash Zbynek Burival The world is generating more renewable energy than ever before Wind and solar power are the biggest sources of green electricity Renewables and nuclear will provide the majority of global power supplies by 2030, according to the IEA
The future looks bright for solar energy - The World Economic Forum New technologies promise to increase efficiency and lower costs further Solar energy will soon be unbeatable compared to fossil fuels Solar energy has come a long way in a decade Back in 2010, the global market was small and highly dependent on subsidy regimes in countries such as Germany and Italy This year there will be more than 115
These 4 energy storage technologies are key to climate efforts 3 Thermal energy storage Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks
