The Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has released new analysis exploring the potential impact of recently extended federal tax credits on the deployment of renewable generation technologies and related U.S. electric sector carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The tax credit extensions are estimated to drive a net peak increase of 48-53GW in installed renewable generation capacity in the early 2020s.
The Carbon Trust is working as part of a consortium set up to progress the development of a tidal and floating wind energy test centre in Japan. The Nagasaki Prefecture has been identified as a potential location for the offshore renewable test site, to not only take advantage of the region’s abundant coastline, but also leverage the existing infrastructure and supply chain capabilities from its shipbuilding heritage.
According to Navigant Research’s Wind Turbine Order Tracker, nearly 140 projects totalling over 12GW of capacity were awarded turbine contracts across 25 countries between July and December 2015 (2H 2015).
ElectroniCast Consultants has announced their market forecast of the worldwide use of lithium-ion capacitors used in wind and solar power generation. A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) is a hybrid type of capacitor out of the family of the supercapacitors.
UK government innovation spending could deliver a world-leading energy system – if GBP 500 million of allocated funds are targeted correctly, a new paper from industry body Scottish Renewables has said. The organisation’s report identified six key innovation areas, and called on the UK Government to work with industry to help guide investment to deliver a low-carbon, low-cost energy sector.
Wind energy installed more electric generating capacity last year than any other energy source in the USA. The 8.6GW of wind power capacity installed surpassed the 7.3GW of new solar photovoltaic capacity and 6GW installed by natural gas, according to data from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and the recently released Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) and Bloomberg New Energy and Finance (BNEF) 2016 Factbook.
