A European research team has assessed the level of hydrogen in 31 African countries and has concluded that importing green hydrogen from Africa to European economically unfeasible by 2030, with prices ranging from $ 10.2/kg to $ 3.8/kg. June 12, 2025 Emiliano Bellini An international research team has investigated the economic viability of exporting ammonia from Africa to Europe, where then again converted into hydrogen, and has discovered that this task can be “priceless” by 2030 among four realistic scenarios. Their analysis in particular considered the capital costs (COC) per country, financing structure and interest rate environment to calculate the…
The Dutch municipality of Utrecht has become the first city in Europe to introduce a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) auto-sharing service. It features Renault 5 e-tech electric cars that run on clean energy and feed back the power to restore the during peak requests. June 12, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: We drive Solar, Renault Group, MyWheels The Dutch city of Utrecht has introduced the first in Europe V2G Car sharing service.

By SB staff June 12, 2025 A new long -term partnership between Doral Renewables LLC and American Farmland Trust (AFT) is intended to improve innovation and sustainability in agricultural communities in the United States. By support for Afts Smart sun Initiative will try the partnership towards further solutions that help build the viability of the farms and at the same time scale up domestic energy generation. The Smart Solar Principles will help guide this work, which tries to achieve three main goals: Land protection suitable for agriculture. Strengthen the viability of the farm. Speed up the development of solar energy.…
Could the future of the sharing economy be powered by the sun? This isn’t just a hypothetical question—it’s already becoming reality as co-working spaces, shared living communities, and collaborative transportation services embrace solar energy to reduce costs, attract eco-conscious clients, and contribute to a sustainable future. For the modern entrepreneur searching for “solar co-working space” or “renewable energy shared office,” you’re tapping into a growing trend that merges the collaborative spirit of the sharing economy with the power of renewable energy. Commercial solar installations can reduce operating costs by 75%, making shared workspaces more affordable while providing a competitive edge…
Figures for the 2024-25 financial year reveal a double digit percentage of the median price for British small-scale solar sun. The falling prices were driven by increased promotion of delivery and technology, according to DSNZ, while installer warns that new opportunities could come on the roof with tighter margins. June 12, 2025 Matthew Lynas The costs of small-scale solar installations in the United Kingdom fell in the financial year 2024-25, according to government data from June 2025. In its last analysis, the British government registered a decrease of approximately 20% in the median costs of installations against the previous financial…
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved a 1.1-GW solar and 4.6-GWH storage project for Fresno County that is the first project permitted under the State Opt-in certification program. The Oberon Solar + storage project completed by Intersect Power in 2023. Authorized under Assembly Bill 205, the opt-in Certification Program offers a consolidated state permit option for eligible clean energy projects, in support of the transition from California to 100% zero-cabbage-cabbage-stooled electric sale by 2045, as required by Senate Bill, the Encourage BILOID must be completed for a StatUten StatUten. “California is moving faster than ever before to build the…
Taiwan’s United Renewable Energy (URE) says that it is planning to dismiss more than 100 employees while retiring, the production lines of the Emitter and the rear contact (PERC) in Taiwan to concentrate on his tunnel oxide contact contact (topcon) module series. June 12, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: PV -MagazineDave Tacon TaiwanIt is planning to dismiss more than 100 of his employees when retiring older production lines. The dismissals are expected to affect about 10% of the total employees and will be completed by the fourth quarter of this year, Ure said, adding that the relevant authorities were informed in…
Spain Instituto Tecnológico de la Energía (ite) has built a prototype sodium ion battery cell using materials with a high potential and a sustainable separator based on polymer, as part of the SOSBAT project to develop alternatives to lithium-ion storage. June 12, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina By ESS News The Spanish non -profit research organ ITE has created a prototype sodium ion battery cell using materials “selected for their high potential, and has developed a separator based on sustainable polymers.” ITE said that the cell was developed as part of the SOSBAT project-finance by the Valencian Institute of Competitiveness and…
Researchers in Spain have simulated an energy community with varying penetration levels of electric vehicles (0%, 50%and 100%) to analyze system optimization under various regulating frameworks and EV brands. Charging strategies have considerably influenced overall performance and results. June 12, 2025 Lior Kahana Research led by scientists at the University of Geneva of Switzerland analyzed the impact of EVs on Solar Energy energy communities. The study investigated how 0%, 50%and 100%EV penetration influence solar size, investment stimuli and low-voltage griders. “The research presents a multidisciplinary approach for the complete assessment of investment drivers of solar energy and the individual and…
The Westport Bess has an operational life of 40 years. Image: Res. Developers of Renewable Energie RES has submitted a planning application to the Energy Constent Unit (ECU) of the Scottish government for a 150 MW Battery Energy Storage System (Bess). The 150 MW Westport Bess is located on land north of Killoch Colliery between the villages of Coalhall and Ochiltree, about 9 km west of Cumnock in East Ayrshire. The duration of the system has not yet been announced. RES said that the Bess will make contact with the National Grid via the Colyton station, about 2 km southwest…
