Biofuels From Cultivated Biomass: A Sustainable Solution For Renewable Mobility

Leave a Comment / Biomass, Energy, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Technology / admin

The Paris agreement on climate change has added impetus to the decarbonisation of transport as one of the most effective ways for realising the climate protection targets. Next to higher engine efficiencies and the simultaneous hybridization of engine technologies. Biofuels will have to play an important role in terms of a bridging function because they are already available and with biofuels from cultivated biomass, it is possible to make an immediate and effective contribution to the lowering of emissions in existing vehicle fleets.

Car Parks Of The Future? New European Airport Uses Trina Solar PV Modules

Leave a Comment / Carbon, Energy, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Head Lines, Technology / admin

The international Airport Weeze in North Rhine-Westphalia is one of the newest European airports, welcoming 1.8m passengers a year. The airport operators have now opened car park P2 for customers and equipped it with a PV carport system. This offers a dual advantage. First, the renewable energy generated by the system can be used as an additional revenue source, or for self-consumption; whilst reducing its carbon footprint. Second, the system also serves as a protective layer shielding passenger vehicles.

UK’s National Grid Maintains Energy Flow With Innovation, And Renewables

Leave a Comment / Efficiency, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Head Lines / admin

The fast-changing energy landscape and increasing amount of renewable generation on the system that results in frequency volatility have required National Grid to develop new and innovative ways to manage frequency to ensure that energy keeps flowing to where it is needed. A new, enhanced ability to control variations in frequency almost immediately will result in reduced costs of approximately 200 million pounds and streamline services to make them as efficient as possible meaning reduced costs for the end consumer.

Electric Mobility Can Enable Competitive Advantage For Local Authorities

Leave a Comment / Energy, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Policy / admin

A series of workshops for local authorities to promote e-mobility is being organised by the German state agency e-mobil BW and the local authorities’ association of Baden-Württemberg. The workshops are designed to indicate practical options for local authorities to get into electric mobility. The possible entry points include replacing conventional vehicle fleets with electric vehicles, establishing a needs-driven charging infrastructure, and electrifying the local public transport system with electric buses, electric taxis and schemes that make available local authority-owned electric vehicles for car sharing.
