Since 2019, the state of Alberta has experienced rapid growth in the renewable sector mainly thanks to corporate investment which has resulted in an increased installed capacity that has been estimated to produce enough electricity to supply 1.5m Canadian households. According to the Business Renewables Centre Canada, $3.7bn of renewable energy projects since 2019 resulting […]
Renewable energy in Ontario continues to rise, between 2005-2017 the state phased out coal plants and replaced them with solar, hydro, and wind projects. By doing so, the state was able to reduce greenhouse gas pollution arising from its electricity system by 93%. Hydro is estimated to be the largest producer of renewable energy in […]
In recent years Texas has cemented its position as the leading state for producing green energy with the majority of the energy produced by wind energy. According to Inside Climate News, Texas produced 136,538GWh of renewable energy from wind and solar projects which puts the state clearly ahead of the runner-up, Washington who produced 91,148GWh. […]
Renewable energy infrastructure continues to grow in California, partially due to the vast amount of sunlight the state receives annually. The state has recognized this potential and is beginning to realize it. In May 2022, the state produced enough clean energy to meet 103% of consumer demand in the area. Whilst this represents the progress […]
The state of Massachusetts has outlined clear climate change action goals that includes achieving net zero by 2050. In order to achieve this target, Governor Charlie Baker announced a renewable energy bill that details plans to develop 5.6GW of renewable energy infrastructure across the state by the year 2030. This bill is an addition to […]
In June 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to develop 22 renewable energy projects which will help the state achieve its zero-emission target by 2040. The 22 projects will also help the state increase the installed solar capacity towards the targeted 10GW by 2030, an increase from their previous target of 6GW by […]
Renewable energy is indisputably one of the most central components in combating climate change. While more and more technological advances are being made in various renewable energy sources – be it more efficient solar panels, better wind turbines or the implementation of novel technologies like tidal energy – the energy industry faces one overarching problem: […]
Green hydrogen holds an important position in the energy industry worldwide. While hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element on the planet, the market for green hydrogen is (still) relatively new. Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water – in this process water is separated into the components oxygen and hydrogen, only using […]
Whilst certain areas in Scandinavia were amongst the first to embrace the transition to green energy, several countries are still experiencing high rates of growth. An example of this is Finland which has set new records of green energy growth in recent years. A significant factor behind the growth in Scandinavia was the increased Government […]
