Could Direct Air Capture Reduce CO2 Emissions?
Last week, the media reported that atmospheric carbon dioxide is at its highest levels in more than 4 million years . Despite the economic disruption caused by the global pandemic, there was no discernible reduction. It is estimated that approximately 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution is being…
Locals are Becoming More Hostile to Solar Projects
Background Solar energy in UK has seen a significant growth despite the end of the Feed In Tariff (FIT) in 2019 and the pandemic in 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, 175 MW have been deployed by the UK. The great majority (70%) of this added capacity is made…
The World’s Renewable Energy Growth Rate Increases by 45%
Background Despite the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic for businesses across the globe, the renewable energy industry significantly grew within the last year, at its fastest pace since 1999. The International Energy Agency (IEA), an intergovernmental forecaster, reported that the sudden growth in the industry is to be predicted…
Award Winning High-Altitude Floating Solar Farm
Floating Solar Farms Floating solar farms are an innovative way of making use of potential solar PV capacity where land use may be restricted despite potential higher installation costs. Floating solar PV technology has been around for many years now with the UK’s first floating solar farm installed in 2014. Floating…
What Happened to Zero Carbon Homes?
In 2006 the Labour government announced the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’. This committed that from 2016 all new houses would be ‘zero carbon’ and would generate as much energy on-site, as they would use in heating, hot water and lighting . Subsequently in 2008 the Climate Change Act was introduced…
Wind Farm Development Checklist
Background Wind farm developments can be delayed or blocked due to radar, telecommunications and other aviation issues. Resolving these issues can be time consuming and expensive. These risks are best managed by identifying potential issues early in the development process. This checklist helps identify the key issues. Scope This checklist…
Important Changes to the USA’s FAA Glint and Glare Guidance
Overview The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently announced a final policy to replace their interim glint and glare guidance. The update states the FAA’s final stance on how solar photovoltaic (PV) developments should be managed from a glint and glare perspective and what federally obligated airports need to be…
Pager Power in 50 Countries
Another Milestone! Here at Pager Power we are proud to have been a part of many firsts. This has included identification of the site for radar in-fill at the (then) largest wind development in Europe, providing glint and glare analysis for the first consented large ground-based solar scheme in Ireland…
