Researchers have developed a system to harvest electricity from plant leaves.
It has been struggling for decades to find commercial viability, but the latest advancements in nanotechnology could spell the beginning of a new era for blue energy, also known as osmotic power.
Renewable energies are increasingly gaining momentum, but so far they were being hampered by a lack of consistent supply, mainly those relying on solar and wind power. Initiatives such as ACCIONA’s new Hybrid Storage Plant in Navarre (Spain) or Tesla’s endeavor in Australia will bolster this new sustainable energy model.
Is it possible to obtain clean electricity from the sea? Tidal turbines are already a reality for the people in Nova Scotia (Canada) and Pentland Firth (UK).
These flexible solar panels are made of high-efficiency silicon, like standard panels, but feature a new shape that makes them revolutionary. Let us show you how.
An Israeli startup has developed a technology that recharges electric cars while they circulate.
R2Cities project responds to the need for a common methodology in Europe to regenerate inefficient neighbourhoods.
A new energy management concept that interweaves several energy sources managed by a single control system. Know how they work.
Solar thermal energy, also called solar thermal power or thermoelectric energy, is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun to produce clean electricity on a large scale. Like photovoltaic energy, which uses light energy from the sun captured by solar cells, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to warm a fluid, produce steam, and generate electricity in a conventional thermal process. There are also several technologies used to produce thermal energy: parabolic trough and central tower, primarily.
Scientists from the world over are looking into ways to leverage the energy released by the human body.
Biomimicry, the term that describes technology inspired by Nature, was coined in the mid-twentieth century. Today, that approach makes it possible to create energy-saving solutions.
A journey through the different stages in the development of the blue power technology, since the early days of pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) to the latest developments in nanotechnology.
A strong commitment within a revolutionary global-framework on the part of ACCIONA towards optimization regarding preservation and transmission of electricity generated by wind or photovoltaic systems.
Virtual Power Plants or VPPs are a new energy management concept that interweaves several energy sources managed by a single control system. Know how they work in this video.
