The world’s largest offshore wind developer began as an oil and gas producer — its transition could hold lessons for oil companies today — During the 1970s, many developed countries fell victim to a sudden energy crisis. Countries across North America and Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand, were highly reliant on Middle Eastern countries for their supply of fossil fuels, and a series of conflicts in the region interrupted that supply…

Geothermal energy is affordable, reliable, and soon will be more accessible than ever — Wind and solar energy have captured attention worldwide — in twenty years, they’ve transformed from nearly irrelevant to providing more than 10% of global electricity. Yet, both energy sources have one key disadvantage: they are intermittent. Traditional energy sources, such as coal, natural gas, and hydropower, provide a consistent stream…

After years of under-estimating demand for electric vehicles, Toyota once again thinks electric vehicles aren’t ready — Electric Vehicles (EVs) are on the rise — sales are rising rapidly and automakers all over the world are creating plans for how their business can shift to electric. The Biden administration has taken note with a new EV adoption target for the the US: 50% of sales should be…

The electric car revolution has spread to water as ships all over the world are turning green — The Yara Birkeland is a 260 foot vessel owned by Norwegian chemical firm Yara International. The Birkeland was built several years ago (at a cost of $25 million) to carry fertilizer and chemicals up and a 13 kilometer stretch of coastline, replacing 40,000 truck loads annually. At first glance, the…

Production capacity is expanding rapidly, but demand is rising even faster — Electric Vehicle (EV) sales are soaring. In 2021, global sales reach a new peak of nearly 6.6 million units — 8.6% of total vehicle sales, up from just 4% the previous year.

Massive offshore wind farms are popping up all over the world, but it’s only the beginning — In the world of energy, offshore wind remains relatively young. In 1991, the world’s very first offshore wind farm was commissioned off the coast of Vindeby, Denmark. By modern standards, the Vindeby farm was tiny. It consisted of 11 individual turbines, each of which had a maximum capacity of 450…

This mining technique is producing lithium and green energy at the same time — Electric Vehicle (EV) sales are growing at lightning speed. 2021 looks to be on track for more than 4 million fully electric vehicles old — more than 2019 and 2020 combined. The environmental benefits of swapping a gas car for an EV are already massive. A study from the International…
