Solar energy is not just a powerful way keep the lights on, or even to ditch dirty fossil fuels. Solar energy is empowering communities around the world — by putting people to work, helping families cook meals more safely, and allowing children to learn even after dark (just to name a few things).

Solar ponds are a type of passive solar energy technology whereby pools of saltwater are used to collect and store solar thermal energy — making use of the natural formation of a salinity gradient in such bodies of water, whereby heat isn't easily transferred between a high-salinity layer at the b...

Today the Danish Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate has launched its energy initiative called “Energy -- for a green Denmark” which is meant to support the goal of at least 50% of the country's energy consumption to be supplied by renewable energy sources by 2030.

Solar chimneys are an ancient passive solar technology whereby natural heat convection processes are harnessed to provide ventilation, amongst other possibilities.

As an addendum to our earlier article on passive solar house design basics, I thought that it would be worth providing an overview of some of the possibilities when it comes to the design of attached passive solar greenhouses and/or solariums.

The European wind energy industry invested a total of €51.2 billion ($63.22 billion) in 2017, with €22.3 billion ($27.54) of this going towards new wind farms, a figure down on the €28 billion invested during 2016, but allowing for more capacity.

A new study published this week by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has shown that the value created by offshore wind varies significantly depending on location, ranging from $110 per megawatt-hour (MWh) to as low as $40/MWh.

Nearly eight years after we first covered news about India taking initial steps to set up offshore wind energy projects, the first government document seen as a precursor to a final auction has been released.

According to new numbers published earlier this month, Portugal's renewable energy production in March exceeded the country's electricity consumption for the month, a record not seen in forty years.

Further building on our discussions of energy efficient building design — via the subjects of basic passive solar home design elements, the Passivhaus standard, R-value terminology, and earth-sheltered house design — it seems worth highlighting the "PlusEnergy" building design approach.

Hanwha Q CELLS, the world's leading solar cell producer, has been awarded the contract to supply solar modules for the Netherlands' largest floating solar PV system set to be built atop a water reservoir in the center of the country.

A new commentary just published in the journal Nature argues that so-called developing nations should be more involved in research related to geoengineering, particularly with regard to solar geoengineering, owing to the reality that these countries are and will be more affected by climate change.

Friends of the Earth Netherlands has announced that it will take British–Dutch multinational oil and gas company Shell to court if it does not immediately act on demands "to stop its destruction of the climate" which, if won, could significantly limit the company's investments in oil and gas aroun...
