According to the latest statistics from the International Energy Agency, 296GW of new renewable energy capacity will be installed globally in 2021, up 6% from last year. By type of energy, new wind capacity fell 17 percent in 2021, but that was offset by growth in solar pv and hydropower installations. The EU is the …
According to the research institute, 3,064GW of installed renewable energy capacity will be deployed globally by 2021, highlighting the urgent need for energy storage systems to balance intermittent generation from renewable sources. In 2021, the global energy storage market maintains high growth. The installed capacity of new energy storage systems was 29.6GWh, up 72.4% year …
By 2025, the global cumulative deployment of energy storage systems will reach 362GWh Read More »
Following its decision to double the size of the next round of funding under the EU ETS Innovation Fund, the Commission has launched an investigation of interest in clean technology manufacturing projects and deep decarbonisation technology pilots. The round will begin in autumn 2022 with a total endowment of around €3bn, and the survey will …
Germany wants to speed up green hydrogen cooperation with Australia because its efforts to move away from fossil fuels have become more urgent following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the country's research minister has said.

When Japanese scientist Tsutomu Miyasaka first used perovskite photovoltaic cells to generate electricity in 2009, the efficiency was just 3.8 percent. Just a decade later, in 2019, the perovskite cells' performance soared to 25 percent. In November 2021, the Helmholtz Center (HZB) in Berlin developed a perovskite tandem cell with a conversion efficiency of 29.8%, …
