In December 2022, California scientists achieved a major breakthrough -- a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than was used to create it. Scientists have done it again and this time their results produced even more energy. Professor Peter Hosemann, chair of nuclear and mechanical ...
Clean energy investors have endured yet another torrid year as traders continue shunning the alternative energy sector. The solar sector, in particular, highlights the negative sentiment pervading renewable… Hydrogen Fuel Cells: A Promising Green Alternative to Battery Electric Vehicles ...
The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia has laid claim to a renewable energy first. Not just first in the state of Queensland, or the nation of Australia—but reportedly first in the world.Since the opening of the US$90 million (AU$ 125 million) 64MW Warwick Solar Farm, UQ is ...
and we’re burning less of it in our gas tanks. Between us and our Canadian neighbors, we’re getting surprisingly close to a North America that can function entirely on its own crude oil. Meanwhile, the diversion of a big chunk
A new plan proposed by the European Commission to boost the European Union's net-zero industry has been welcomed by experts as "setting the direction" in promoting the bloc's energy transition and accelerating the growth of renewable energy. The Green Deal Industrial Plan, int...

In Australia, one pumped hydro energy storage project is already being built at a former gold mine site atKidstonin Far North Queensland. Potential mine sites (red) are typically located close to existing transmission lines (blue). Transmission: Geoscience Australia, CC BY 4.0. Credit: Basemap:...
Opportunities for conventional on-river PHES such as the Tumut-3 and Shoalhaven projects in New South Wales and the Wivenhoe project in Queensland don't exist in WA. A GIS-based screening study [15] over the southwest of WA demonstrated numerous potential sites for off-river pumped hydro wit...
These schemes build on the success of FRV’s 15 MWhHoles Baybattery project in Dorset, UK, operational since 2020. FRV is steering similar projects in Australia, with a new BESS plant atGnarwarre, in Victoria, and a hybrid solar/BESS plant atDalby, Queensland. FRV also has a majority sta...
"The government's goal is to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix to 35 percent by 2025," said deputy prime minister Ivan Collendavelloo who is also energy minister. "The 35 percent is not far off; we will have 11 solar parks by next year and at least two wind ...
