To meet growing energy needs created by EVs in the Ottawa area, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) are supporting a new pilot project. The project will be run by BluWave-ai, a renewable energy AI company, and Hydro Ottawa, a regulated electricity distribution company, to use AI and manage EV charging during peak demand periods.

Montreal-based company idénergie has designed a hydrokinetic turbine that converts water streams into electricity. The tidal turbine is an old technique that depends on the water movement. Based on this method, the team developed a compact device that can power a household while minimizing the impact on the aquatic fauna and its habitat.

PETALING JAYA: The lesson for Malaysia arising from Sri Lanka’s bankruptcy is to avoid using its resources on wasteful spending, said Treasury former secretary-general Tan Sri Sheriff Kassim.

INDORE: India is tapping a new energy source that promises to help clean up smog-choked cities and is already providing a vital revenue stream for poor Indian farmers: truckloads of bovine manure.

Disruptions to the energy market recently have forced the sector to better acknowledge pertinent energy issues.

Singaporean energy firm City Energy has launched its cross-border EV charging network under its subsidiary, Go by City Energy in partnership with Malaysian company EV Connection (EVC) that will join the city-state with Johor and reach up to Penang.

Laos is committed to further promoting renewable energy and investments in low-carbon sectors to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Most of us don’t think about how and where our electricity comes from when we flick a switch in our home. Behind the scenes, however, Singapore is making major moves to use greener power sources as it transforms the energy sector.

Fashion accounts for 10% of the world’s carbon emissions and is the second-most polluting industry in the world. But in an increasingly climate-conscious society, it is increasingly trying to present itself as sustainable to appeal to customers. One big target is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for the past two decades many brands have signed up to a scheme called the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an independent body that awards grades for environmental performance.

Solar-powered electronics are one step closer to becoming an everyday part of our lives thanks to a “radical” new scientific breakthrough. In 2017, scientists at a Swedish university created an energy system that makes it possible to capture and store solar energy for up to 18 years, releasing it as heat when needed. Now the researchers have succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator.

An energy efficiency indicator survey from Johnson Controls reveals that 62% of organizations surveyed expect to increase investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, or smart building technology in 2022, indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels. Almost two-thirds of survey respondents say they struggle to scale sustainability initiatives across buildings, geographies, or business units.

Solar power has overtaken wind for the first time, in the race to develop renewable energy capacity around the globe. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar energy now accounts for 28% of the world’s renewable electricity generation capacity, just ahead of wind with 27%. This time last year, the two were evenly matched at 26% each.
