As the autonomous vehicle industry progresses, we’re starting to see fewer traditional cars and more cars that are designed around not having a driver. Instead of a car where everybody faces the same way and it’s designed to look cool, the goals have changed. Ease of access and spaciousness, along with safety and cost-effectiveness, are […]

I’m not going to lie, I’m not big on math. I did okay in high school and college in math classes, but I didn’t pursue a science, engineering, or other technical degree. So, I’m probably not the person to go to if you want a deep look at the numbers behind a clean technology. But […]

To reach the federal government’s goal of 50% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2030, the US needs 1.4 million EV chargers. What might we expect in 2023 to further those goals?

Zenobē, an EV fleet and battery storage specialist, and Marcopolo, the world’s third largest bus manufacturer, will investigate shared opportunities to support the decarbonization of passenger transport. As many customers start with significant grid constraints on their journey to electrify their fleets, Zenobē works with them to understand their requirements. Zenobē work includes incorporating their […]

South African and Australian miners are realising the benefits of using renewable energy to power their mines. It not only reduces their carbon footprint, but also their costs. “The shift is all the more attractive for miners in South Africa, where power cuts have reached record levels as state power utility Eskom struggles to meet […]

China keeps getting all the good stuff, affordable small EVs that are perfect for most people’s daily needs. However, most of these small city EVs are still only sold in China. Hopefully more of these mini EVs will start to find their way to other parts of the world. There is some hope as the […]

Self-driving technology is pretty much absent from CES 2023, as manufacturers focus more on products that are ready for market now, not years from now.

Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has an installed generation capacity of 1,904 MW, of which over 86% is drawn from green sources, namely: hydro (826 MW), geothermal (799 MW), and wind (25.5 MW).  The rest (253 MW),  is generated from fossil fuels at its thermal power plants. KenGen is the largest power generating company […]

California’s grid reliability struggles have intensified in recent years as extreme summer heat strains the system and threatens power outages. The state’s grid reliability is also inextricably linked to issues of improving energy affordability and achieving California’s ambitious clean energy goals. With California’s power woes apparent, Western grid regionalization has been raised as a potential […]

Greenland is home to the planet’s largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Observations collected from the ground, air, and space have revealed rapid thinning in the northeast part of this ice sheet that could contribute more to sea level rise than previously thought. “Rivers” of relatively fast-moving ice, known as ice streams, generally flow from […]
