IEA finally acknowledges the exponential growth of renewables
The International Energy Agency is forecasting exponential growth of renewable energy sources, with capacity doubling in the next five years.

With diesel generators being sent by the hundreds to Ukraine, I believe solar PV and energy storage solutions would be a better solution.
Après mon article d’introduction sur le biogaz, en voici un autre expliquant pourquoi je suis un grand défenseur du solaire photovoltaique. Alors qu’Emmanuel Macron a été réélu Président et dit vouloir accélérer la transition énérgétique, cette source d’énergie est la plus facilement déployable ainsi que la moins chère. Au niveau mondial, le photovoltaïque est en …
La France doit (et peut) accélerer sur le solaire photovoltaïque Read More »
There is mounting evidence than West-facing solar panels produce more electricity during peak demand, and thus solve solar’s main problem.
A reflection on climate change and the daunting but exciting task at hand in energy, transportation, industry, food production and so on.
A lot has been said about the booming global capacities of solar and wind in the past few years. But wind works at a maximum 35% of the time for onshore and perhaps 45% for offshore wind. Solar PV is even lower, with 20 to 30% capacity factor. So, backup solutions are being sought. 2017 …
For years, grid parity – the time when solar and wind would be cost-competitive with fossil fuels and nuclear – was the holy grail of renewables energy, a target to reach in a distant future. But the future is now.
Renewables currently generate very little of Puerto Rico’s electricity but hopefully this could change after Hurricane Maria.
Years ago when Google Earth was launched, we were all amazed at the levels of details provided. It was just very impressive. Now Google does it again with a most interesting feature: Google Project Sunroof.
That’s it ! Renewable energy sources and electric vehicles are progressing so fast around the world that according to a new study coal and oil use could peak worldwide in as little as three years.
I came across several articles on my home country lately and thought it was the occasion to keep everyone updated on how the French energy transition is going on.
While the United States are wondering what will happen next on climate change mitigation in their country, both India and China have recently unvealed very ambitious targets to fight local air pollution and global climate change.
