UK’s decision to close coal power plants is really a statement of the obvious, and does nothing to answer the problem of what to do afterwards.
Who’d want to take part in the UK energy economy when the government keeps changing the rules?
Big data is about processing large amounts of data. It is often associated with multiplicities of data. But the ability to generate data outpaces the ability to store it.
Africa is blessed with an abundance of sunshine.Given the heavy demand for energy, alternatives, such as solar, could provide solutions and help stimulate economic growth.
Many utilities see rooftop solar as a threat, but solar power can actually lower the cost of power they – and their consumers – need to pay during hours of high demand.
A novel approach to detect bacterial infections in 10-15 minutes is expected to become commercially available next year.
The Nobel Prize-winning research on neutrinos is expected to push the boundaries of science and technology.
The Supreme Court hears a case that will decide whether homes and businesses can earn money from distributed energy technologies, including demand response and home battery systems.
Renewable energy programmes in South Africa need stronger policies to ensure that communities benefit.
Solar hot water is an excellent way to heat up without adding to your electricity bill. Unfortunately, it seems Australians are not getting the most from their solar hot water systems.
Heating your home using electricity is not just cheaper, it’s more efficient and can be considered renewable.
Australia’s new cap on emissions includes aspects of a “baseline and credit” emissions trading scheme. That’s cheaper for businesses, but means more regulation.
