Australia's first remote microgrid using renewable hydrogen generation is becoming a reality, with the trial of new energy technologies in remote Western Australia. The project will be a first-of-its-kind demonstration that will use solar and renewable hydrogen generation and storage to provide 526MWh per year of dispatchable renewable electricity, enough to power 100 homes.

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced $35 million in funding for 11 projects as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy's Submarine Hydrokinetic And Riverine Kilo-megawatt Systems program. Teams will develop new economically competitive Hydrokinetic Turbines designs for tidal and riverine currents.

ENIAN has this week been awarded a £500,000 Smart Grant by Innovate UK to develop a new cost predicting algorithm set to accelerate the uptake of renewable energy across the country.

The focus of smart cities has changed. In 2020, smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

Supercapacitors (ultracapacitors) are the only capacitors using an electrochemical double layer (EDL) to give one thousand times more storage for a given weight or volume.

Most solar cells today are made with refined silicon that turns sunlight into clean electricity. Unfortunately, the process of refining silicon is far from clean, requiring vast amounts of energy from carbon-emitting power plants.

The Red Sea Development Company, the developer behind the world's most ambitious regenerative tourism project, has announced it is creating the world's largest battery storage facility to enable the entire site to be powered by renewable energy 24 hours a day.

Thursday 3 December (includes Q&A session) - Printed/flexible electronics is a constantly evolving area with extensive scope for innovation. In this webinar, Dr Matthew Dyson will discuss four technical innovations learned about in 2020.

Social Energy will this week launch for the very first time in Australia with the Duracell Energy Bank 2 home solar battery. Through this initiative, Australian households will have access to a world first energy service that will be able to reduce electricity bills by up to 100%.

Ocean Infinity is excited to announce plans for the next phase of its Armada fleet of robotic vessels with a signed contract for eight 78-metre, optionally crewed robotic vessels.

Fluoropolymers are typically available as liquids and solids, but new fluoroelastomers are getting interest.

A newer approach of serving low power electronics by area more than efficiency is promising.

Sun Exchange's expansion into sub-Saharan Africa with the first of three crowdsales for a multiphase, 1.9 megawatt solar-plus-storage project for Nhimbe Fresh, a premier exporter of fresh produce located in Marondera, Zimbabwe. This will be the largest Sun Exchange solar installation to date and the first outside South Africa.

A ground-breaking project to create a new circular end-of-life supply chain for the electric vehicle industry is being led by EMR Metals Recycling. The project has won grant support from the UK Government's Advanced Propulsion Centre.

One day solar "power stations" as we know them will be banned.

Developed by citydev.brussels, the Brussels Tivoli GreenCity district has obtained the BREEAM Oustanding environmental certification, officially making it the most sustainable district in the world.

Wind turbines have been moving offshore for stronger, more consistent wind reducing storage needs. Another driver has been lack of approved, suitable land sites. Similar motivation is driving the new open sea and open river tidal power that is largely unheard and unseen.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has outlined a Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. Covering clean energy, transport, nature and innovative technologies, the blueprint will allow the UK to move ahead with eradicating its contribution to climate change by 2050, particularly crucial in the run up to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow next year.

Researchers have developed environmentally friendly materials that could harvest enough energy from indoor light to power wireless smart devices.
