Polar Night Energy’s first commercial sand-based high-temperature heat storage is now in operation at the Vatajankoski power plant area. The heat storage, which has a hundred tons of sand inside, is producing low emission district heating to the city of Kankaanpää in Western Finland. BBC made a story about Polar Night Energy’s heat storage solution. […]
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) currently relies on thermal power for most of its electricity supply and in 2021 this accounted for 92.6% of its total electricity generation. However, the country is looking to reduce its dependency on thermal power and move towards clean energy, found GlobalData. According to the leading data and analytics company, […]
Texas A&M University researchers Dr. Sam Noynaert and Fred Dupriest recently presented results from a geothermal project that drastically reduced well-completion times and drill bit changeouts to an audience of mostly petroleum drillers. The Department of Energy (DOE) funded the project, which improves geothermal drilling practices with physics-based instruction and oil and gas techniques to […]
Modular Plant Solutions (MPS), a global engineering firm specializing in process modularization and project implementation, announced its contract to support Arbor Renewable Gas in the construction of the first-of-its-kind modularized green gasoline plant. The Spindletop Plant, located in Beaumont, Texas, will convert woody biomass in the form of pre-commercial thinning and forest residue into market-ready, “drop-in,” negative carbon green […]
New data released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows that renewable energy continued to grow and gain momentum despite global uncertainties. By the end of 2021, global renewable generation capacity amounted to 3 064 Gigawatt (GW), increasing the stock of renewable power by 9.1 percent. Although hydropower accounted for the largest share of […]

The pandemic transformed how we stay connected. It changed how we share ideas and opportunities. People had to get creative, and they had to do it fast. The result was a whole new E-World that ultimately will make us more versatile, globalized, and resilient. When people stopped flying planes and the world pretty much shut […]
The past year has been an unprecedented time, with COVID-19 having an immediate and significant impact on all aspects of the energy sector. Despite the dramatic consequences COVID-19 is having on the global economy, Lux Research predicts the energy transition will be accelerated by several years. Trillions of dollars are expected to flow through economic […]
Renewable energy relies on oil and gas for its very existence. There is no renewable energy on the planet that has been built without the use of oil and gas. Think construction of a wind farm ….and how that energy product requires trucks, cars, transport and clearly gas in tanks to build it. Think aviation […]
“Today’s announcement is an investment in the future of Saskatchewan and all our children. DEEP’s project has the potential to transform how the province and the country produce energy while creating good, middle-class jobs for Canadians. This is another example of how we’re taking action to fight climate change today while strengthening our communities for […]
