Intense underground heat that is responsible for geysers, hot springs and volcanoes also serves as a source of renewable energy that could begin to provide more electricity to the grid with help from a research group led by Clemson University.

Sungrow has, this year, taken the bold step of deliberately combusting a liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS), known as a burn test, in order to properly assess safety and fire risks at its energy storage plants.

New research by ABB, in collaboration with Sapio Research, has surveyed nearly 2,400 global businesses to gain insight into the state of the market around energy efficiency, sustainability, digitalization, and the key role played by electric motors.

Pursuing the development of its low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem in the Normandy industrial basin, Air Liquide will invest €50 million in a new hydrogen packaging and delivery supply chain to refueling stations along the Seine Axis, to support the acceleration of low-carbon mobility.

La alianza de las derechas nacionalistas (las centralistas y las periféricas) podría tumbar no solo el impuesto a las energéticas (extremo en el que el acuerdo es virtualmente total), sino también todo el "paquete fiscal" que plantea el Gobierno PSOE-Sumar. PP, Vox y Junts suman 177 votos, a los que podrían unirse los de PNV, que hasta ahora ha mantenido un perfil más bajo en su oposición al impuesto del 1,2% a las energéticas. A falta de tan solo unas horas para que comiencen las votaciones en el Pleno del Congreso de los Diputados, las negociaciones siguen en curso. Esta es la foto ahora mismo.
