According to the new World Energy Investment 2024 report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), despite financing pressures, global clean energy investment will be nearly twice that of fossil fuels this year. The surge in funding will be aided by lower cost renewable energy technologies and improving supply chains, a press release from the IEA […]
The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) in the Bay Area of California is set to fully transition its school bus fleet to electric buses. With this move, it is expected to become the first big school district in the U.S. to switch to 100% electric buses with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities. The school district has partnered […]
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Wednesday that eliminates climate change as a priority in state policymaking, as well as most references to it in state law. Florida is known as one of the most climate-vulnerable states in the country due to its susceptibility to sea level rise, hurricanes and flooding. The new legislation, […]
Industrial processes like smelting metals or manufacturing cement can be carbon-intensive, as they typically rely on fossil fuels to generate enough energy to produce high temperatures. But researchers have found a way to use solar thermal trapping, rather than fossil fuels, to reduce the emissions of some industrial processes. “To tackle climate change, we need […]
The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Monday approved the first overhaul of the country’s electric transmission policy in more than a decade. The changes will make new interregional lines faster and bring more renewable energy to meet increasing demand. “Our country is facing an unprecedented surge in demand for affordable electricity while […]
The Biden administration plans to set new tariffs on electric vehicle (EV) imports from China of up to 100 percent, along with import taxes on other products. The tariffs follow a review of former President Donald Trump’s more than $300 billion in import taxes imposed on China in 2018, reported The New York Times. It […]
According to the new Global Electricity Review 2024 from thinktank Ember, renewable energy now exceeds more than 30 percent of the world’s electricity supply, following a fast rise in solar and wind power. According to Ember’s executive summary of the report, record solar and wind construction in 2023 means “a new era of falling fossil […]
Energy ministers of the Group of Seven largest economies in the developed world — Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States — have announced an agreement to permanently close coal-fired power plants by 2030 to 2035, or on a timeline that supports the global heating limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius […]
To meet clean energy and net-zero targets by 2030, as set during COP28, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says that rapid expansion of battery storage capacity is necessary. According to the agency, a rollout of batteries needs to increase six-fold compared to current rates in order to meet global climate goals. IEA reported that battery […]
