California looks to add solar and transmission along highways

California is considering using its empty highway land for solar panels, batteries, and power lines to meet clean energy targets. A bill awaits the governor’s signature to evaluate the land’s suitability for renewable energy development, supporting clean energy jobs and generating revenue. Other states have successfully implemented similar projects, offering a template for California to follow. The potential for gigawatts of solar power and high-voltage transmission on highway rights of way could aid the energy transition and decarbonization efforts.

Will this startup finally crack the code on flow battery tech?

Flow batteries, a long-awaited solution for renewable energy, have struggled to gain traction. However, Germany’s CMBlu is breaking through with a unique approach that utilizes solid components and organic materials, avoiding controversial minerals. With large-scale contracts and plans for automated factories, CMBlu aims to revolutionize energy storage.

Harnessing the Power of Salinity Gradient: Unlocking the Potential of Blue Energy

Salinity gradient power, or blue energy, has the potential to revolutionize electricity generation. By harnessing the difference in salt concentration between bodies of water, this renewable energy source could unlock a vast potential for clean and sustainable energy. There are three main technologies – PRO, RED, and CapMix – that have been developed to convert the energy stored in the salinity gradient into usable electricity. With a global capacity estimated at 2 terawatts, blue energy could significantly contribute to the renewable energy mix and provide electricity to remote communities.
