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,…

Scientists have simulated the delivery of PV modules to the balconies of cruise ship cabins. They tested the systems with three DC configurations and simulated them while cruising in the Caribbean and along the Norwegian and Danish coasts. January 24, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by scientists from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has simulated the delivery of PV modules to cruise ship cabins to power their utilities. As the cruise industry moves to Direct Current (DC) built-in grids, the team has proposed three approaches to PV integration, comparing them for efficiency. To find the ideal approach, they…
