American scientists have made a breakthrough in the field of nuclear fusionA: a “net gain of Energy” which represents a step forward towards a cleaner energy future. In a laser fusion experiment, scientists at California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were able to produce more energy than the reaction consumed: a net gain of 1.5 megajoules […]

Short-term measures can ruin the energy transition
The World Economic Forum warned today about the negative consequences that trying to face the current energy crisis with short-term measures would have and that could end up ruining the efforts in favor of an energy transition. Only this last option, based on accelerating a low carbon economy, can guarantee the energy security and sustainability […]
EU energy response threatens its climate goals
The measures proposed by the European Commission (EC) to speed up the disconnection of Russian gas and cushion the escalation of prices in the electricity market place geopolitical urgency in the first line of energy action and take priority away from the climate objectives of the European Union . The Community Executive believes it is […]
The “torture” of wind turbines for the inhabitants of a Greek island
Wind turbines tower as far as the eye can see on the hills surrounding the coastal town of Agii Apostoli, on the Greek island of Euboea, a real “torture” for the eyes and ears of the inhabitants, outraged by the damage it causes to This region. “‘Why have we allowed this crime to be committed’, […]
CES: ocean battery, proposes solution to renewable energy dilemma
A wind turbine standing still on a calm day or spinning fast when demand is already covered poses a problem for renewables and is one that researchers believe can be solved under the sea. The idea is that offshore wind farms could use seawater to store energy until needed, helping humanity move away from fossil […]
Minem: Arequipa solar plant will start up in October 2022
The Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem) approved to modify the definitive concession to develop the activity of generating electricity with renewable energy resources of the solar power plant “CSF Continua Misti 300 MW” in charge of the company CSF Continua Misti SAC located in Mollendo (Arequipa), for its start on 14 October 2022. In […]
The European Union steps on the accelerator of the electric car
The European Union accelerates toward a future of CO2-free cars powered by renewable energy, with a firm technological commitment to the electric motor that implies a profound transformation still sown with uncertainty. The objective is clear: a decarbonised EU that limits the advance of climate change while reducing its imports of hydrocarbons, generates its own […]
IEA: China and India will be “the giants” that will spearhead green energy
Considered two of the most polluting countries in the world, China and India will be “the Giants“That will head”the emergence of the new global energy system“Renewable for the next five years, said the director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol. “China and India will be the giants that alone will account for half […]
Logistics crisis could increase renewable energy costs
Building infrastructure for renewable energy generation was cheaper this year, but bottlenecks in global supply chains threaten to drive up costs in 2022, reversing a decade-long trend, according to Lazard Ltd. The unsubsidized cost of utility-scale solar power fell to just $ 28 per megawatt-hour for thin-film PV modules in 2021, falling $ 1 from […]
Energy crisis is the result of little investment
Liam Denning The recent rise in energy prices has been described as a retaliatory act by fossil fuels after years of underinvestment. The latest long-term perspective of the International Energy Agency (IEA) makes it clearer: We are not investing in energy, period. Rather than being a forgotten soul seeking revenge, it’s best to think of […]
