Bodycote, the world's largest provider of heat treatments and specialist thermal processing services, is targeting the marine renewables sector after securing work with wave energy pioneer CorPower Ocean.

Aggreko has installed a new Combined Heat and Power solution at the CET Arad Power Plant, Romania. The solution will help to increase efficiency and stability at the plant, a key provider of hot water and electricity for the district heating scheme and grid at the regional capital Arad City, for the next four years.

Strata Clean Energy LLC is announcing its new name, Strata Clean Energy. The rebrand represents the company's commitment to the proliferation of clean energy products by providing more safe and reliable renewable energy options - especially for large, utility scale energy consumers.

The Fekola gold mine operates 24-hours a day. During the daytime, the new 30 MW solar plant allows three out of six heavy fuel oil generators to be shut down; the energy production of the residual three generators could also be significantly reduced. The 15.4 MWh battery storage compensates energy generation fluctuations and assures a reliable operation, which allows up to 75% of the electricity demand of the gold mine to be covered by renewable energy during the daytime.

Thursday 22 April 2021 - The webinar, presented by Senior Technology Analyst Dr Michael Dent, will include an introduction to CCUS; the current state of CCUS; emerging technologies in CCUS; challenges facing the industry; and an outlook for the next 20 years.

Wireless information and energy transfer WIET typically works without energy storage. A conventional assumption made in the design of communication systems is that the energy used to transfer information between a sender and a recipient cannot be reused for future communication tasks. There are, however, notable exceptions.

In healthcare, the need to eliminate batteries is particularly acute. It ranges from life threatening battery failures and invasive surgical procedures to place and replace them to the need to provide healthcare where batteries are unavailable or unaffordable.

In Switzerland monster trucks carry ore down from mountainside quarries, the regenerative braking creating almost enough energy to get the empty truck back up again. The latest forestry example is carrying trees down from the mountains of Canada.

Novige AB, with its concept NoviOcean got a budget of 5.6 MSEK approved by the Swedish Energy Agency, where 1.35 will be provided by the company. 1.1 MSEK will go to Uppsala and KTH University for further research and work into various aspects of the novel concept.

ACWA Power announces the official inauguration of the 300 MW Sakaka PV IPP, Saudi Arabia's first utility scale renewable energy project, at an investment value of 1.2 billion Saudi riyals.

If it becomes possible to affordably harvest energy in the available space as fast as it is consumed, the battery life problems with most wearables will be solved.

DisruptiveAsia puts it this way, "At what point can we ditch batteries, the last encumbrance to our wireless nirvana?

A new invention that uses sunlight to drive water purification could help solve the problem of providing clean water off the grid.

Despite the continued development and commercialization of various wearable electronic devices, such as smart bands, progress with these devices has been curbed by one major limitation, as they regularly need to be recharged. However, a new technology has become a hot topic, as it shows significant potential to overcome this limitation for wearable electronic devices.
