\n\n\n\nCheck out our latest post on the world’s greenest countries ranked.
\nNew research shows that for the first time ever, electricity produced by renewable energy sources provided more electricity to homeowners and businesses in the UK, than energy coming from fossil fuels, in the third quarter of the year.
\n\n\n\nIt is quite a significant step towards a greener future for the UK energy sector. It is the first time since the introduction of power plants in the UK (1882), that energy from other resources surpasses fossil fuels energy production. In fact, British coal plants will shut down completely by 2025.
\n\n\n\nThe research of the last quarter showed also that Wind Power is the strongest source of energy in the UK currently, bringing 20% of the energy. Biomass plants come right behind with 12%, and solar panels contributed 6%.
\n\n\n\nBack in the summer, Amazon was one of the 700 firms targeted ‘for not reporting environmental information’. For this reason, they have taken actions towards minimising carbon emissions, by announcing three renewable energy projects.
\n\n\n\nOne of the projects is going to be a wind farm with a capacity of 50 megawatts, which will be situated in Scotland. It is expected to produce 168,000 MWh of energy each year. The two others are solar projects in North Carolina and Virginia. They are expected to produce 500,997 MWh per year and start producing this energy by 2021.
\n\n\n\nAll the three facilities will provide energy to Amazon Webservices data centres.
\n\n\n\nAmazon’s director of Sustainability claimed that: “the firm was committed to minimising our carbon emissions and reaching 80% renewable energy use across the company by 2024”.
\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest British groceries and general merchandise retailers Tesco, is teaming up with Green Investment Group, to install solar panel systems at many of their supermarkets across the country.
\n\n\n\nWith this project, Tesco is aiming to generate 10% of its electricity needs onsite, and use 100% green electricity during the same period. As Jason Tarry, ROI CEO stated:
\n\n\n\n“Our supply chain and long term business sustainability depend on the health of the natural environment. Our customers and colleagues expect Tesco to play its part in caring for the planet. This project represents a major milestone in our journey to using 100% renewable energy by 2030”.
\n\n\n\nPower stations in Uk have recorded the lowest electricity output in decades despite the population being increased to over 8 million. This is a good sign for the nation as it shows the efficiency in energy use both in industries and in households.
\n\n\n\nExperts say that there could be multiple reasons for this, among which are efficiency in usage of electricity, energy-saving appliances, light bulbs and LEDs. One more reason could be the financial crisis that made households more efficient in their consumption of electricity.
\n\n\n\nEuropean Union will receive 12 % share of global solar module market because of the removal of tariff on Chinese-made solar panels. European Union has lately been showing a lot of enthusiasm towards a renewable future. Spain has pledged to source 100% of its power from renewables by the year 2050.
\n\n\n\n“These claims are supported by the predictions that the EU is anticipated to make up 12% of the global solar module market share, and a number of member states including the Netherlands and Spain are set to exceed 1 GW in installed capacity next year.”
\n\n\n\nEnergy analysts wanted to find out just how much battery power is required to be able to exclusively rely on renewable energy in the cold dark months. By using energy production and power demand data, it showed how a 100& renewable energy grid that is powered by wind and solar energy would have significant stretches and a large volume of storage batteries are required to meet the necessary demand.
\n\n\n\n“You would need a lot more batteries in a lot more places,” said Wade Schauer, a research director for Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables, who co-wrote the report.
\n\n\n\nHis analysis concluded that in order to go from 11 gigawatts today to 277.9 gigawatts in the grid regions that include New England, New York, Mid Atlantic, Midwest and parts of the South, they would need double the current forecast for energy storage nationwide in 2040.
\n\n\n\nGlobal oil major BP has published its annual Energy Outlook in February 2019 and predicted that renewable energy will be a dominant source of power generation globally by 2040. It also said that energy demand would increase by around a third driven mainly by rapid growth in Asia.
\n\n\n\n“The Outlook again brings into sharp focus just how fast the world’s energy systems are changing, and how the dual challenge of more energy with fewer emissions is framing the future,” said Bob Dudley, BP group chief executive, before adding his subtle caveat: “Meeting this challenge will undoubtedly require many forms of energy to play a role.”
\n\n\n\nA bunch of researches developed a software that analyses how kites and drones can be used in energy generation while transforming the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy that can be used. Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) are a new kind of technology to harvest wind energy.
\n\n\n\n“AWES are disruptive technologies that operate at high altitudes and generate electrical energy,” explains Gonzalo Sánchez Arriaga, Ramón y Cajal research fellow at the department of Bioengineering and Aerospace Engineering at the UC3M. “They combine well-known disciplines from electrical engineering and aeronautics, such as the design of electric machines, aeroelasticity and control, with novel and non-conventional disciplines related to drones and tether dynamics,” he adds.
\n\n\n\nTo increase the interest and purchases of clean energy resources, some of the biggest companies in the US have come together and formed a Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA).
\n\n\n\nThis trade organisation is planning to support construction projects by striking renewable energy deals pioneered by companies like Google-parent Alphabet, General Motors, and Walmart.
\n\n\n\nREBA is working on empowering thousands of companies to buy renewable energy in the future. This resulted with many new deals last year, supporting nearly 16 gigawatts of new renewable energy capacity in the U.S. Their plan is to grow the market to 60 gigawatts by 2025.
\n\n\n\nIn 2018, Costa Rica operated on renewables for 311 consecutive days. So far, it is the only country in the world that has been able to achieve this.
\n\n\n\nThough, this country has a geographic advantage due to the high concentration of rivers, dams, and volcanoes per capita, allowing for a high renewable energy output.
\n\n\n\nThese are the five main resources of energy that are allowing for a high clean energy production:hydroelectric power (75%), geothermal power(15%), wind power (5%), solar power (4%), biomass power (1%).
\n\n\n\nSince purchasing the UK utility and broadband company FirstUtility, Shell announced that this week they will rebrand their new subsidiary and switch all of its existing customers’ electricity from renewable resources.
\n\n\n\nAll their electricity will come from green sources: wind, solar, and biofuels.
\n\n\n\nShell Energy Chief Executive Officer Colin Crooks stated: “We are building on the disruptive nature of FirstUtility to give customers something better. We know that renewable electricity is important to them and we are delivering.”

\n\n\n\nThis article talks about green technologies that are occurring in 2019. Technology is constantly advancing and growing, and as a result, it affects different areas of our life. Green technology, in particular, has advanced to a remarkable degree.
\n\n\n\nHere are the 5 green technology trends that are noticeable this year:
\n\n\n\nA study by the University of Minnesota reveals how much bike lanes and facilities have improved access to jobs in the US. The study was conducted from 2013 to 2017, analysing the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the US (by population).
\n\n\n\nIt focused on accessibility, and the ability to reach your job in a given time using different means of transportation. The conclusion was that bike commuting is a cost-effective, healthy and sustainable alternative. Furthermore, investing in biking infrastructure is a more cost-effective solution than investments that support cars.
\n\n\n\nA new highly efficient solar cell layer has been developed by the researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in Germany. This layer can be deposited in large areas and reaches record efficiencies in solar cells. Solar cells that are built with this layer in its foundation are called Perovskite solar cells.
\n\n\n\nFurthermore, if compared to the most predominant solar cells on the market, which are the silicone ones, the new type (Perovskite solar cells) is easier to produce and at a lower cost.
\n\n\n\nHow do they function?
\n\n\n\nIn order to gather energy, Perovskite solar cells have membranes that allow either electrons or holes to pass. Hence, in order to gather maximum energy, they need to be optimised with the new light-absorbing layer and charge carrier-selective layer.

\n\n\n\nFurthermore, they asked their staff on some of the most popular Europian destinations on the changes they made to promote responsible tourism. These are some of their tips:
\n\n\n\nAccording to the authors behind this travel guide, “Tourism can provide essential economic, environmental, and socio-cultural benefits but when done unsustainably, and when it becomes too saturated, “overtourism” can result in increased pollution, human-wildlife conflicts and trafficking, depleted resources, unsustainable development, and exacerbate the negative impacts of climate change, especially in coastal towns and beach communities”.
\n\n\n\nTo increase awareness of best practices while travelling, they suggest 9 blue habits for ocean-friendly travel:
\n\n\n\nIn this guide, you will learn about what sustainable tourism is, and what the benefits of pursuing it are. Follow these 7 steps if you want to become a more responsible traveller:
\n\n\n\nThe UK Government will invest £23 million to help businesses across the country with the development of electric car batteries. Investing in this sector will keep the UK at the forefront of the latest electric car technology development.
\n\n\n\nDifferent types of businesses were selected as the winners of the government’s Faraday Battery Challenge. From small designers to major car manufacturers, this challenge brings together leading academic and businesses, to speed up the research, and develop new car batteries.
\n\n\n\nAccording to researchers at the University of Birmingham, new trains that use only water as a source of power are planned to be on UK’s railroads by 2022. They call them “mini power stations on wheels”, and are the ‘greenest’ trains ever produced.
\n\n\n\nThese hydrogen-fuelled trains are already in service in Germany, however, this design is not compatible with the rail network in the UK.
\n\n\n\nThe first ‘green’ mosque has been opened in Cambridge. It is quite unique as it is built to operate at an almost zero carbon footprint. It has no minaret, and a call for prayer is not broadcasted outside the building. Its prayer hall can house 1000 worshippers and is eight metres high.
\n\n\n\nWhat makes this mosque eco-friendly are all the sustainable technologies used in the building process. For instance, it is harvesting rainwater on the roof, which is used to water the gardens and provide water for other purposes in the building. Furthermore, it is equipped with an air-source heat pump and solar panels for the production of electricity and heating.
\n\n\n\nLastly, during the day, the mosque doesn’t even use electricity at all, due to the structure of the building and the amount of light that enters through the walls and windows.

\n\n\n\nDuring the latest EU-China summit in Brussels on the 9th of April, the two parties committed to tackling climate change and promoting clean energy.
\n\n\n\nChina, as the largest greenhouse gas emitter, is urged by Brussel to peak its domestic emissions earlier than 2030.
\n\n\n\nThis collaboration emphasised the “importance of showing resolve on clean energy transition and of assuming greater leadership on the global environmental agenda”.
\n\n\n\nFurthermore, leaders agreed to reinforce cooperation on green finance and boosting renewables, switching to lower carbon fuels, as well as highlighting the importance of energy efficiency.
\n\n\n\nFor the next summit on 23rd of September in New York, the UN chief is asking from leaders not to bring speeches, but specific action plans.
\n\n\n\nAccording to the area’s management authority, the World Heritage rainforest in Queensland has been damaged to the same degree as the level of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef.
\n\n\n\nIt has been reported that the forest is in a dangerous decline and some of its unique species are at the fast-approaching risk of extinction.
\n\n\n\nLast summer showed to be the hottest in history, with temperature soaring to 39C, threatening the life of lemuroid ringtail possum (and many other species), as they are unable to survive temperatures above 29C.
\n\n\n\nThe board has outlined an action plan and calls for urgent action to help the threatened areas: “Our political leaders must explain how they will protect places like the wet tropics of Queensland by urgently cutting our climate pollution and showing global leadership to encourage other countries to do likewise. And they must explain how they will invest in building the resilience of our natural world so it is in the best condition possible to handle what warming is already in the system”.
\n\n\n\nAlthough the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars was originally planned to be implemented by 2040 in the UK, advisers say this could be achieved earlier.
\n\n\n\nAccording to the Committee on Climate Change, in 2024-5, the cost of electric cars will be similar to that of petrol or diesel vehicles. However, installing charging points might be challenging, if the increased demand of electric cars is to be met.
\n\n\n\nThe government has been warned by the committee that the installation is going too slow. In response to that, according to a source (Department for transport), the government might consider bringing forward the date, and considering a new plan to subsidise charging points in people’s homes instead of public charging points across the country.
\n\n\n\nA study by the University of Florida predicts that climate change will expose millions of more people to mosquito-borne diseases in the coming decades, especially in Europe.
\n\n\n\nAccording to the scientists behind the study, as the world gets warmer, the mosquitoes that are known to thrive in warm climates will migrate towards the poles, and expose billions of new people to new threats. “By 2080, that number will increase to nearly a billion, under the worst-case scenario,” said R%yan, one of the researchers behind the study.
\n\n\n\nFurthermore, their predictions show that we will see poleward expansions into some of the densest populations in Europe for the first time, and this leads to rapid increases in novel exposure risks.
\n\n\n\nA research conducted by Deloitte says that more than 21 million electric vehicles are predicted to be sold every year by the end of next decade.
\n\n\n\nWith the sales trends of electric vehicles doubling, this will be in parity with conventional vehicles thereby bringing down the costs. This demand is driven by consumers becoming more environmentally conscious, but also because of favourable government policies incentivising people to purchase EVs.
\n\n\n\nA recycling company in Scotland dealing with food and garden waste has changed the way we look at food waste. This innovative business has expanded into Northern England and is expanding soon in the entire UK.
\n\n\n\nThe business is extracting economic and economic value from food waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill. They will add 150,000 tonnes of organic waste and turn it into compost and electricity every year.
\n\n\n\nUK power newtworks (UKPN) is launching trials to asses the requirements of a smart charging market for electric vehicles. The distribution network operator aims to reduce the demand of charging clusters of cars on local electricity infrastructure and keep energy bills lower.
\n\n\n\n“However, incentives from networks will not by themselves change people’s charging habits – it will need a mix of lower energy costs from retailers plus the reduced network cost incentives.” – says Ian Cameron, Head of Innovation from UKPN.
\n\n\n\nBy purchasing credits from schemes such as the Roundtable for Responsible Soy (RTRS), Aldi expects to replace the soy used in their animal feed with one that comes from deforestation-free sources.
\n\n\n\nHigher demand for meat has increased the soy demand as a feedstock, which is leading to deforestation in many parts of South America.
\n\n\n\n”Through working with our suppliers and industry stakeholders, we hope to help halt deforestation and protect these biodiversity-rich areas,” says the managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK.
