Solar Power: Generating Electricity from the Sun Solar power is a critical form of renewable energy. It converts solar energy, mainly sunlight, into usable electricity. This transition to renewable sources is now vital. Countries must cut greenhouse gas emissions quickly. They must work to curb the ongoing climate crisis. Solar power is virtually nonpolluting and…
How to Stop Adding Greenhouse Gases and Increase Carbon Sinks We must stop climate change. We need to prevent the increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests caused greenhouse gas levels to rise over the last 150 years. Forests naturally pull CO2 from the air. We have two…
The Power of Wind: Generating Electricity with Renewable Energy Wind power captures the energy in moving air. Historically, people used wind for sails and windmills. Today, modern technology uses wind mainly to generate electricity. This article focuses on wind power for the electric grid. How Modern Wind Power Works Wind turbines generate almost all wind…
The Power of Wind: How Onshore Turbines Generate Clean Electricity Wind power uses kinetic energy from the wind. It is one of the world’s fastest-growing energy sources. Wind is also one of the most affordable renewable technologies available. Wind turbines capture this natural movement. The large blades rotate a shaft inside the turbine. This rotation…
Understanding the GHG Protocol: Scopes 1, 2, and 3 Explained Climate change is a big concern. Companies worldwide must monitor and cut carbon emissions. The GHG Protocol helps them do this. GHG stands for Greenhouse Gas Protocol. It provides a standard for calculating and reporting carbon emissions. This protocol uses three different “scopes”: Scope 1,…
Hydroelectric Power: Harnessing the Power of Water Hydroelectric power is also known as hydropower. It is one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable energy. Hydropower uses the natural flow of moving water. This movement generates electricity. Hydropower’s Role in the U.S. Hydropower plays a huge role in the U.S. power grid. It currently…
The Power of Water: Understanding Hydropower Plants Hydropower is key for renewable energy. It forms the foundation of Swiss electricity. This source produces reliable, CO2-free power. Three Types of Hydropower We use run-of-river, storage, and pumped storage plants. These plants offer great flexibility. Swiss engineering history features this technology. We constantly improve our plants. This…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports clean hydrogen. In late 2023, the DOE announced a $7 billion plan. This money funds seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs. The goal is scaling cost-effective clean hydrogen use. Utilities face rising pressure from data centers. These industries demand large amounts of reliable power. Hydrogen helps utilities meet this…
Battery Storage: FTM vs BTM – Maximizing Commercial Value Energy experts constantly debate battery storage placement. Where should we locate these assets? We must find the location that creates the greatest value. Value goes to both asset owners and the wider society. Generally, storage placed further downstream accesses more value streams. This means potential commercial…
