Performing the solar hybrid sulfur cycle right at the copper smelter could generate the oxygen and hydrogen to make the copper industry green Northern Chile is known for having the best solar resource in the world for concentrated solar thermal…
Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Tribal Energy Alternatives recently awarded $3.2 million in grant funding to 14 Tribal Nations, plus Tribal-serving organizations and community-serving entities. The grants will support solar energy access, workforce development, and…
A rush to secure home battery systems ahead of the 1 May cutoff has left many customers dealing with delays that have pushed their installs past the deadline, raising questions about pricing and eligibility. If your system wasn’t fully commissioned…
The project was developed by SMA Altenso, which will also deliver the full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) scope including grid and MV/HV works. Its parent company SMA Solar will provide grid-forming inverters, Sungrow will provide the BESS and construction…
By Martin McConnell April 30, 2026 Long-duration energy storage system (LDES) manufacturer ESS Tech Inc. and battery maker Alsym Energy have formed a partnership to add 8.5 GWh of sodium-ion batteries to ESS Tech’s portfolio. The agreement signifies a milestone…
Replacing the standard two‑tank molten salt system with a single tank using a thermocline could cut capital costs and halve thermal tank losses in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. But how big can a single tank safely be built when…
Source: Synhelion Liquid fuels remain indispensable for long-haul transportation in aviation, shipping, and heavy-duty road freight, because of their unmatched energy density. Today, fossil fuels power global transportation, accounting for roughly 15% of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For decades,…
The Skuodas Wind Farm will have an installed capacity of 161MW. Credit: © 2026 European Energy. European Energy and Mars have signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) covering the majority of electricity produced by the planned Skuodas Wind Farm…
Abstract:Although the metal hydride CaH2 possesses a remarkably high hydrogen-based energy storage density, its application in thermal energy storage systems for next-generation concentrated solar power plants presents a challenge due to its 1100 °C decomposition temperature. These plants are expected…
