Renewable Energy Innovation from North of 49°. Sustainable Living Inspiration for all of us.
The push to expand renewable energy is running into a practical challenge: how to build offshore wind farms quickly and cheaply enough. Offshore wind has huge potential, especially in Northern Europe where countries have access to the sea, but building turbines further out from land comes with steep costs. A recent study explores an innovative … Continue reading Wind Barges Offer Cheaper Offshore Clean Energy Production
Perovskite is central to current photovoltaic development, but what does the term actually mean?
Is desalinating water with renewable energy for a potable mains supply worthwhile? Lessons from the Philippines.
The House of Commons debated the issue of banning fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship in a session driven by growing concerns over the role of fossil fuel companies in exacerbating climate change and the need for stronger action against misleading or harmful promotional practices. Key Points Raised During the Debate Outcome No vote was taken … Continue reading Debate on Fossil Fuel Advertising (House of Commons, 2025/7/7)
Nanoengineering hydrogen to save costs.
The Solar Vortex Engine is novel approach to generating energy
For years, solar power has been confined mostly to rooftops, deserts, and fields. But a pioneering study on underwater perovskite solar cells has opened a completely new frontier: generating clean energy beneath the surface. This breakthrough doesn’t just make solar viable in aquatic environments — it reimagines where we might harvest the sun’s power. The … Continue reading Solar Power in Surprising Places: From Boats to the Bottom of Pools
Conservationists often focus on stopping harmful human activities to save wildlife. But a new paper asks a tough question: Is that enough to stop birds from going extinct? After analysing nearly 10,000 bird species, the authors found that even the best efforts to remove threats won’t save them all. The Extinction Forecast If we continue … Continue reading Saving Birds Takes More Than Just Tackling Threats
