Findings from a new review into the future of oceanographic research infrastructure have revealed the significant changes that must be made to enable the UK to deliver a Net Zero Oceanographic Capability (NZOC).
Good Energy has sold its wind and solar farms to Bluefield Solar Income Fund to focus on Zap-Map a smart meter platform for small scale generators.
The changes included gutting energy-efficiency subsidies, effectively banning onshore wind in England and scrapping the zero-carbon homes standard. They were introduced after a November 2013 Sun frontpage reported that then-prime minister David Cameron’s answer to rising energy bills was to “...
… Could have been £140 with faster roll-out. Britain’s wind and solar farms could help to reduce households’ energy bills by paying back almost £800m to consumers by the end of the winter after gas and electricity market prices rocketed above their set subsidy levels.
Stephen Wyatt, director of research and disruptive innovation at Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE) has claimed that we could be in the “golden decade” for the tidal stream energy. He proposes that investment and subsidies could pave the way to the technology to become cost-effective, w...
The 2022/23 round of applications is open for the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies – Deadline 4pm 22 Feb 2022.
Flexibility refers to the ability to use generation, storage and demand side resources making the most of computational intelligence distributed along the grid for balancing energy supply and demand. Increasing the energy system flexibility is key to ensure the reliable integration of larger shar...
Gardens in cities provide a long and continuous supply of energy-rich nectar from March to October, scientists at the University of Bristol have found. Despite huge garden-to-garden variation in both the quantity and timing of nectar production, pollinators are guaranteed a reliable food supply...
The Government Office for Science has launched a new Foresight Project to help inform the government’s long-term net zero strategy, titled “A net zero society – scenarios and pathways”. This project will provide the evidence and tools to help understand how behaviours could impact net...
