Asia Powers Ahead in Global Renewable Boom, But Africa Risks Being Left Behind
Asia continues to dominate global renewable energy growth, accounting for 71% of new capacity added in 2024, while Africa and other developing regions remain far behind despite their potential. Solar and wind lead the charge, comprising 97.5% of additions, with solar alone adding 453 GW. Although global renewables capacity hit a record 582 GW, the world is still off track to meet the COP28 goal of tripling capacity by 2030. Without faster growth and more equitable investment, the energy transition risks deepening the global divide.
Yosef Abramowitz: The Israeli Bringing the Sun to the World’s Darkest Places
Abramowitz employs what he calls the Quadruple Bottom Line Impact Platform when bringing solar energy to countries with limited resources and infrastructure. While not the primary driver, each project must provide returns for investors. While these returns may not turn a massive profit, projects must ensure financial viability. Second, every project contributes to climate mitigation.
Iraq’s Ancient Water Wisdom Faces a Modern Reckoning
The land between the Tigris and Euphrates was once a wellspring of invention. Thousands of years before modern irrigation, the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians carved canals, engineered flood basins, and developed qanat systems—ingenious underground channels that carried water from mountain springs to distant farms.
The unseen tech behind eco villages
If you picture an eco-village, you might imagine a simple dwelling with permaculture gardens and a very slow, rural pace of life. While often true, this rustic image undermines the technology that is increasingly being used to achieve their sustainability – technology that we shouldn’t be frightened of or avoid, but use to harness a […]
E-trike powered by solar power does heavy lifting quietly in off-grid forest
I was contemplating how to ready myself for old age, using the body wisely, and still attending to daily routines. Such was the state of inner asking when grace responded with the arrival of MoonCool, an e-trike. Silence is what I did not wish to disturb for me, the forest, and its creatures.
SOMBRA Pavilion: MVRDV’s Living Ode to the Sun Debuts in Venice
SOMBRA, a name fusing the Latin words for sun (sol) and shade (umbra), is more than a temporary pavilion—it’s a living laboratory. Shaped like a heliodon, the structure mimics how the sun moves through the sky, providing an intuitive experience of solar patterns. It operates without motors, electronics, or external energy. Instead, it breathes, opens, and closes using only passive physical principles.
The Importance of Solar Panel Cleaning Robots: Boosting Efficiency and ROI
As the global shift toward renewable energy accelerates, solar power continues to dominate as a key source of sustainable electricity. However, the efficiency of solar panels is significantly affected by dirt, dust, and debris accumulation. Cleaning solar panels manually is time-consuming, costly, and inefficient, particularly for large-scale solar farms. This is where solar panel cleaning robots come into play, offering automated, precise, and efficient cleaning solutions that enhance energy output and maximize return on investment (ROI).
