The Grid Resiliency Tax Credit Act would establish a 30 percent investment tax credit (ITC) for qualifying electric power transmission line property and grid-enhancing technologies. |  Earth, Wind, Fire and Water: How We're Using the Energy Our Planet Creates The world has four basic elements — earth, wind, fire and water. As society advances, humans still rely on these elements to build their homes, nourish them and keep them warm. Many now know these elements provide renewable energy that modern techniques can capitalize on. Here is how science capitalizes on the gifts each element offers you. | Biofuels | Researchers Produce Clean, Usable Fuels Made from Solar Power  Researchers have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car’s engine as drop-in fuel. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, harnessed the power of photosynthesis to convert CO2, water and sunlight into multicarbon fuels – ethanol and propanol – in a single step. These fuels have a high energy density and can be easily stored or transported. | Biogas PV Goldbeck Solar Rebrands North American EPC Division Panorama | Wales Leads the Way For Renewable Energy And Heating In the UK  The latest data from MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) shows that the number of small-scale renewable installations in homes and businesses in Wales in April saw the nation secure the highest uptake in the UK. In recent years, Scotland has held on to the top spot as the UK nation with the highest proportion of installations per household. As Welsh homeowners continue to invest heavily in greener energy amidst the cost-of-living-crisis, they have overtaken Scotland in the league tables for the first time since 2021. | RenewableNI highlights importance of small renewable energy projects European scientists urge ramping up of renewables for immediate replacement of natural gas boilers Guidehouse Insights report explores how microgrids can reduce vulnerability to cybersecurity risks Wind Salamander floating offshore windfarm to hold public consultations Agenda ISES Solar World Congress Energy Storage Solutions e-conference |
