The most well know of these being Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret , which focused on the large scale inefficiencies of animal agriculture, in…
Agrivoltaics: Combining Agriculture With Solar Power
Agrivoltaics is the practice of using the same area of land for both solar photovoltaic power as well as for agriculture, which implies that solar panels and crops will share sunlight. This type of co-development is not new to the industry. Often terrain used for agriculture purposes is also used…
Solar PV Safeguarding: What to Consider When Developing on an Airfield
Overview As airfield operators seek to go green, more and more will look to utilise the potentially vast areas of land on or very near to their airfields for renewable energy generation. Indeed, more recently we have been receiving more inquiries from airfield operators who are looking to deploy solar…
UK Launches its Largest Renewable Energy Support Scheme
In a previous article we shared the news that the UK was intending to step up its climate commitments, where the possibility of policies being put in place and/or investment for renewable energy developers was mentioned. In this article we will explore further how the UK plans on achieving its…
Surprising New Draft National Policy for Solar Farms
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has recently published the Draft National Policy Statement for Renewable Energy Infrastructure (EN‑3), which sets out the primary policy for decisions by the Secretary of State for nationally significant renewable energy infrastructure. In this article, we take a closer look at Section…
The Next Step Towards Fully Recyclable Wind Turbines
Although wind turbines may be one of the most well-known producers of renewable energy, the turbines themselves are not as sustainable. 85% of a wind turbine is already recyclable, however it is inherently difficult to recycle the wind turbine blades in a cost-effective way. A wind turbine’s blades can…
The World’s Largest Carbon Capture Plant is Turned On
The largest Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in the world opened on September 8th in Iceland. Operated by the Swiss engineering startup Climeworks, the plant is known as Orca, after the Icelandic word for ‘energy’. Orca is the largest carbon removal facility in the world and will convert CO2 emissions…
