A study led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has shown that carbon fibres can work as battery electrodes, storing energy directly. This opens up new opportunities for structural batteries, where the carbon fibre becomes part of the energy system.

This week, China and Belgium signed a framework agreement to strengthen cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The deal was signed in Brussels, one of several accords signed during a meeting between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel.  

Australia needs to stop putting all its money into new renewable energy and use existing technology to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, an expert says. David Byers, the boss of an Australian carbon capture and storage research organisation, said focusing solely on renewables could be a costly waste of time and resources.

The World Energy Council (WEC) and PwC interviewed 39 companies/organizations to understand the maturity of blockchain technology in energy and its potential and impediments. In a newly released report, Blockchain in Energy, the WEC spoke with traditional oil and gas companies, regulators and utilities to better understand the blockchain hype.

The Energy, Science, Technology, Environment, and Climate Change Minister said the suggestion to increase the tariff so that people use less electricity thus increase energy efficiency is not applicable.

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 22): Members of the public who generate solar energy for personal use will soon get rebates from Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) at the same consumption tariff under the revised net energy metering (NEM) programme.

Keeping up with the various phrases used by companies to describe clean power commitments takes some serious energy. But here's one descriptor that more corporate sustainability professionals should have on their radar when it comes to future renewables strategy: "carbon free."

Climate change vulnerability and sustainable development challenges are becoming more apparent, particularly for islands. Their insularity implies energy dependency on fossil fuels and energy imports that also involve high transportation costs.  

Years back, nuclear energy was a fancy option limited to the industrialised world. In due course, nuclear could be an energy source for much of Africa, where only South Africa currently has a nuclear power plant.

Large U.S. companies are acting on renewable energy goals at a record pace. Through August of this year, they have already procured nearly 4 GW of utility-scale wind and solar capacity—breaking the previous full-year record, set in 2015, by nearly 750 MW.

Top oil companies including Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Total are adapting with growing urgency to the need to develop cleaner energy sources, investing more and more in solar and wind power, electric vehicle technology and even forestation.

The lead project "Methane from Renewable Sources in Mobile and Stationary Applications" (MethQuest) launched on September 14, 2018 is aimed at developing environmentally compatible, affordable, and feasible approaches to a successful energy transition.
