With the new breed of offshore wind turbines weighing in excess of 1000 tonnes the challenge is to develop innovative and cost effective foundations to support these massive structures as E&T discovers.
The winning bidders for the nine zones for offshore wind in the UK have been announced, and as E&T discovers that has changed the playing field dramatically for renewable energy and the UK's plans to alleviate climate change by reducing its carbon emissions.
The outlook is still positive for renewable energy despite the failure of the Copenhagen summit to agree binding carbon emissions, E&T investigates.
The solar power industry is facing great change with the advent of thin-film technology but, as E&T discovers, there are still several paths for the sector to choose from.
Can efforts to make Antarctic research stations energy self-sufficient work? E&T puts on a polar coat to find out.
The answer to peak power problems has always been storage, but that has proven to be a difficult feat to achieve. As E&T discovers, the answer may be found in ice.
To date solar power has lagged behind its better supported cousin, wind, as the drive for renewable power continues. But, as E&T reports from the Solar Power International conference in Los Angeles, the time is ripe for solar power to take centre stage.
As E&T discovers, there has been excellent progress in sustainable buildings, but much more is still required.
Second-generation biofuels that don’t compete with foodstock were supposed to be the future, but as E&T discovers, a new report has thrown a huge doubt over the viability of that technology to deliver.
In their continued search for new oil fields developers are looking to deeper and deeper waters. As E&T discovers, Shell’s new Perdido platform is pushing the engineering boundaries further than ever before.
The ability of the UK power grid to support the growth of electric cars has been called into question, but as E&T discovers there is more than enough electricity to go around.
When you picture green cars, the last thing on your mind would be the typical 200mph racing car. But, as E&T discovers, several new racing series are shattering that conception.
Increasingly, we live in a time that is obsessively motivated towards alternative energies, as global warming and its effects begin to dominate the world’s collective consciousness.
