As Germany puts a 20% tax on passengers flying on commercial airline travel starting May, we need a stronger push and investment in green fuel for consumers so they can get flying without taxing the environment. Can SAFs lead the way?

The world’s renewable electricity capacity hit a record 473 GW in 2023, according to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). And, no Turkey, nuclear energy is not renewable energy.

Yet, Turkey has misread the room and is calling nuclear energy renewable energy: The proposed expansion aims to reach 7.2 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2035 and up to 20GW by 2050.

A new solar project in Barbuda combines a hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) plant, featuring 720 kilowatts-peak (kWp) of solar PV panels, connected to an 863 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery, and capable of fully meeting the island’s current daytime energy demand. The plant will enable Barbuda to reduce annual diesel fuel consumption by 406,000 litres and cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million kg.

The 3.2 million panel solar farm, Kalyon Karapınar Solar Power Plant, in Turkey is clad is shimmering steel panels.

Solar power is a growing part of renewable energy Turley, with 10 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels generating 5% of the country's electricity. Solar thermal is also important. These are the solar panels that heat water on home roofs. Although similarly sunny as Spain, Turkey has installed far less solar power than Spain. 

The biggest players in cutting carbon emissions are the big companies of the world. But individuals can do their part, too. And by making at least some of these practical steps a habit in daily life, we can all work together to reduce our carbon footprint, and take steps towards a more eco-friendly world.

Kent, known as the "Garden of England," offers ideal rural landscapes for solar installations, aligning with its commitment to natural beauty and clean energy. Essex, with its mix of countryside and urban centres, is embracing solar energy for environmental and economic benefits. Residential and large-scale solar farms are becoming increasingly common here.

Within the report, Evans points to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) data that shows that given the UK’s climate, solar energy is within the worst 5% areas in the world to develop solar electricity, as only 10%-11% of the capacity of Solar Farms will ever be generated annually compared to double that in places such as Spain, Australia and parts of the US.

Mária Telkes pioneered solar energy by inventing a solar oven, a solar desalination kit and, in the late 1940s, she helped design one of the first solar-heated houses.
