IEA Review: 2024 Electricity Demand Surge Boosted Both Fossil Fuels and Renewables

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported that soaring electricity demand in 2024 led to increased power generation from both renewable energy sources and fossil fuels. The agency attributes this surge to record-breaking temperatures, which spiked air conditioning use and significantly raised global energy consumption. Heating and cooling accounts for some of the largest energy expenses in homes and offices. In regions that regularly experience extreme temperatures, air conditioning is critical for maintaining safe indoor conditions. However, climate change has intensified extreme weather events worldwide, forcing many countries to ramp up electricity production to meet demand and prevent power shortages.…

IRENA Chief Says Geopolitical Tensions Are Accelerating the Energy Transition

Geopolitical tensions are accelerating the global shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Director-General Francesco La Camera says. He argues that major geopolitical events, such as the Russia-Ukraine war or economic conflicts between global powers, could accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources by disrupting traditional energy markets and forcing countries to rethink energy security strategies. Nations worldwide have committed to phasing out fossil fuels in favor of renewables over the next several decades as part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. However, while many governments have set ambitious targets,…

Penn State Researchers Announce Groundbreaking Method for Repurposing Oil Wells to Store Clean Energy

Scientists at The Pennsylvania State University have developed a groundbreaking method to transform out-of-use oil wells into large-scale clean energy batteries. This innovative approach repurposes depleted gas and oil wells to address environmental pollution while simultaneously enhancing clean energy adoption. The Penn State research team has devised a technique that utilizes these abandoned wells for storing energy while leveraging geothermal heat to improve efficiency. By converting unused oil wells into energy storage facilities, this process not only minimizes the risk of methane gas leaks but also tackles one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy, storage. Most renewable energy sources,…

Implementing Circular Economy Principles in Heating and Cooling Could Boost Sustainability Efforts

As countries worldwide accelerate their transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the need for more efficient heating and cooling systems is at an all-time high. Applying circular economy principles to indoor climate control could significantly enhance sustainability efforts while reducing emissions from heating and cooling. Maintaining a comfortable indoor climate is essential for quality of life, especially in regions that regularly experience extreme temperatures. However, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology is still largely powered by fossil fuels and accounts for approximately 3% of global carbon emissions. Additionally, a substantial amount of thermal energy is lost in home…

The EU is Increasingly Leaning on Wind Energy in its Energy Transition

The European Union (EU) is becoming increasingly reliant on wind energy as it transitions from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. Like solar power, wind energy has taken center stage as one of the primary renewable alternatives to fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas, thanks to its abundance across the EU. Wind energy is virtually inexhaustible and can be generated through both onshore and offshore farms, making it a viable option even for countries with limited available land. As a result, many EU nations are prioritizing wind power—whether onshore, offshore, or both—as a key component of their…

EU Eyes Africa’s Minerals, Renewable Energy in New Collaboration

The European Union (EU) is looking to build a collaboration with two African nations to gain a secure line to the continent's rich reserves of minerals. With the EU adopting electrification and clean energy, there is a massive need for critical raw materials to be available in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As such, the European Commission is set to invest in processing facilities in South Africa and transport links to the DRC to ensure it has enough raw materials to support the EU’s transition to green energy and sustainable infrastructure. To that end, Commission President Ursula…

The UK is Expediting Renewable Energy Grid Connections

The United Kingdom (UK) is set to expedite renewable energy grid connections after years of setbacks and delays. With the South West of the UK making significant advancements in renewable energy generation, Great Britain has massive amounts of green energy waiting to be connected to the grid. However, delays in grid infrastructure construction coupled with an extremely slow onboarding process for renewable energy projects has prevented the UK from fully taking advantage of its reserves of clean energy. To achieve its green energy goals in time, the UK is expediting approval processes for offshore and onshore wind, solar energy, electricity…

UK Mulls Energy Bill Discounts to Families Close to Pylons to Reduce Resistance to Renewables Infrastructure

The United Kingdom (UK) is considering an energy bill that would provide energy discounts to communities living close to solar electricity pylons. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband recently informed the media that the cost of discounting energy prices for these communities will require government to increase the average yearly energy bills elsewhere in the country by 80 pence. The bill is meant to reduce the growing local resistance to pylons and other large grid infrastructure designed to transmit solar energy from solar farms. As per the proposed bill, households in the UK that are located within 500 meters of a newly…
