By [email protected] As grids get saturated with wind and solar electricity, there’s increasing pressure to find new ways to store that energy across daily, monthly or seasonal variations. Could the answer be a billion-year-old microorganism? The National Renewable Energy Laboratory and SoCalGas are currently running a new bioreactor that could turn renewable electrons into renewable…
By WPED Staff Dominion Energy has received two key determinations from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) regarding the design, fabrication and installation of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project. “This is a significant milestone as we move forward on building the first-ever fully permitted offshore wind project in federal waters,” said Mark…
By [email protected] In the span of just a few years, the focus at the annual Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation conference has shifted from issues around producing electricity from thermal capacity — usually oil — to what blend of renewable options constitutes the best path forward. It is not just a theoretical question for the…
By [email protected] (Bengt Halvorson) Porsche introduces a much more affordable version of its Taycan electric car. The Tesla Pickup will be shown in some form next month. Vehicle and power-generation emissions vary widely across U.S. cities. There’s a dearth of charging signage. And Daimler and BMW bail on car-sharing in some U.S. cities that seem…
