Global Green Energy Push Likely to Continue Despite Trump Climate Retreat: UN Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement should not slow the global momentum toward renewable energy investments that the deal created, the UN said on Wednesday. “I believe that many countries will continue to move toward green energy,” said Celeste Saulo, head of the United Nations World Meteorological Organization’s weather and climate agency. As he took office Monday, President Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 Paris accord adopted by 195 parties to curb greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change.…
Researchers have developed a new energy system consisting of PVT panels, reverse osmosis, reverse electrodialysis and proton exchange membranes. The proposed setup can reportedly produce 18.78 kg/day of hydrogen and 120.6 m3/day of freshwater. January 24, 2025 Lior Kahana Scientists from Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar have designed a new solar-powered system for brine management and hydrogen production. Using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, the team simulated the setup and performed a thermodynamic assessment involving energy, entropy and exergy balances. “If not managed properly, brine poses serious ecological risks to the marine environment. On land, improper brine disposal…
Researchers from the China University of Petroleum have synthesized a new hydrogel-electrolyte that, in combination with a Prussian blue cathode, achieved excellent energy density and recyclability in hybrid sink-ion batteries. January 24, 2025 Marija Maisch Structural network of the SN-SA-PSN hydrogelelectolyt that shows covalent, ionic and hydrogen bonds, making a high ionic conductivity and homogeneous zinc deposit possible Image: China University of Petroleum By ESS news Watery, not lithium -based, rechargeable batteries are promising candidates for large -scale energy storage systems of the next generation due to their safety references and low costs. However, its commercialization is impeded by a…
The Energy Industries Council (EIC) says that 41 hydrogen projects will start throughout Africa over the next five years, led by North African countries such as Egypt, Algeria and Morocco. January 24, 2025 Sergio Matalucci The said that 41 hydrogen projects will start development throughout Africa within the next five years. “The Africa OPEX report 2025 shows that North African countries, including Egypt, Algeria and Morocco, lead the efforts, with their abundance of sunshine all year round that offers sufficient opportunities for investments in green hydrogen production and export infrastructure,” ” said The trade association. However, it warned that the…
The Chinese National Energy Administration (NEA) has issued the final regulations for distributed solar energy, to replace the interim rules of 2013 with extensive standards for project life cycles. January 24, 2025 Vincent Shaw and Valerie Thompson NEA has published the final version of the administrative measures for the development and construction of distributed Solar Energy generation, to replace the interim regulations of 2013. The new regulations have set extensive standards for the life cycle of distributed solar projects, which relate to Definitions, supervision, project application, construction management, grid integration and operational requirements. Largely unchanged compared to the design released…
The depths of our oceans hold countless mysteries waiting to be discovered. As we push the boundaries of marine exploration, one of the biggest challenges has always been providing reliable power to underwater research equipment. Solar energy, traditionally associated with terrestrial applications, is now revolutionizing how we conduct deep-sea research and exploration. The Evolution of Underwater Power Systems The journey of powering underwater research began with simple battery-powered devices that required frequent retrieval and recharging. Early explorers faced limitations in their ability to conduct long-term studies. Traditional power sources like batteries and fuel cells restricted underwater missions to short durations,…
The Bess facility is the second project that Bluefield and Lightrock have received permission for this week. Image: Bluefield Solar. Developer Lightrock Power has received a building permit for a 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) of the Mid Sussex District Council. The site of the Energy Stability Project Libra, which can be delivered in collaboration with the Bluefield Solar Income Fund, will be a total of 1.28 hectares, 450 m east of the Bolney -Sap substation. It includes 52 battery storage containers and construction is expected to take nine months as soon as the engineering, purchasing and construction…
The patent lawsuit, filed in Japan’s Tokyo District Court, is Jinkosolar’s second case of legal action against Longi this year, following a filing in China earlier this month. January 24, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Jinkosolar has filed a lawsuit against Longi over the use of an unspecified solar cell technology in Japan. The lawsuit was filed by the Japanese unit of Jinkosolar Shangrao Xinyuan Yuedong Technology Development Co., Ltd. against the subsidiary of Longi Longi Solar Technology Co., Ltd. at the Japanese District Court in Tokyo. These new legal actions follow those announced by Jinkosolar in early January, when it filed…

Developer Root-Power has received planning permission for a 40MW/80MWh battery storage site in Selby, North Yorkshire. The battery energy storage system (BESS) developer launched in July 2024. It is backed by the YLEM Group and now has more than 2GW of projects in the pipeline in the UK. The BESS in North Yorkshire will be connected to the Osgodby network delivery point and is sited to make…
British startup Wondrwall has developed a hybrid battery-inverter system for homes, offering up to 25.6 kWh of energy storage capacity. January 24, 2025 Lior Kahana Wondrwall, a UK-based renewable energy company, has unveiled a new all-in-one battery and inverter system with a storage capacity of up to 25.6 kWh. The new product comes in two versions, with storage capacities of 6.4 kWh and 12.8 kWh, and allows additional batteries to be stacked. “The modular design halves installation times, enhancing the commercial benefits of the new hardware,” the company said in a statement. “The accompanying intelligent EV charger, slightly larger than…
