The UK cannot control global gas prices but we can reduce their grip on the energy market with clean power - and if we do the debate over whether renewables push bills up will fade, writes Matt Parry from the Renewable Energy Association (REA)

Trial marks the first time 100 per cent hydrogen has been used to produce asphalt in the UK

Rising price volatility is heightening financial risks, leading Europe’s largest renewable energy producer to turn to batteries as a remedy

The aviation sector, the fastest-growing contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, is confronting a structural decarbonization challenge. Sustainable aviation fuels now account for less than one percent of global jet fuel demand, yet the UK has set a target of 22 percent SAF use by 2040.

Liftra is developing a crane, which can install wind turbines of up to 8MW with a hub height of 200 meters.

Climate Change Committee report comes after days of turbulence in global energy markets

The government plans to give data centres priority access to the electricity grid to speed up development.

A transparent, water-repellent coating developed by researchers in Scotland, China and India could make solar panels self-cleaning and improve their power output. The dual-layer coating repels water, dust and dirt without reducing the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells. The breakthrough is reported in the academic journal Colloids and Surfaces A: Physiochemical and Engineering Aspects. “We…

If you’ve been watching the news, you know things are chaotic overseas. With the current conflict effectively shutting down the Strait of Hormuz and tankers taking massive detours around Africa, the global energy market is having a complete meltdown. We’re already seeing the impact at the pump, and many people ...

Buffering batteries placed near transmission constraints are rarely listed among grid enhancing technologies. The usual list includes advanced conductors, dynamic line rating, and power flow control devices. All of those technologies increase the instantaneous capacity of transmission lines. Batteries do not do that. A battery cannot turn a 500 MW ...
