Canadian Solar’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Recurrent Energy, has started construction on the 144 MWac Pflugerville solar project located in Travis County, Texas. In 2018 Recurrent Energy signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Austin Energy for the Pflugerville solar project to provide customers of the utility with low-cost solar power for 15 years after the start of service. This PPA supports the clean energy targets of Austin Energy that commit the utility to cost-effectively reduce pollution, and includes plans to exit their coal-fired power generation by the end of 2022. Austin Energy serves over 500,000 clients in the City of Austin, as well…
Panasonic Corporation has developed an ultrasonic gas flow and concentration sensor for hydrogen that enables the real-time simultaneous measurement of the flow rate and concentration of hydrogen under a highly humid environment for the first time in the industry1. In recent years, with growing interest in hydrogen as the next generation energy, actions aimed at utilizing hydrogen energy are actively being promoted around the world. With the aim of further spreading and expanding fuel cells that generate electricity through the chemical reaction of hydrogen, the research and evaluation of stack units used as key components are becoming increasingly important. However,…
E.ON has joined the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, aimed to support the achievement of climate targets by expanding the use of hydrogen (H2) as an energy carrier and to promote the development of a European hydrogen economy. The alliance, which currently comprises around 200 companies and other organizations, is committed to expanding and implementing hydrogen technologies by 2030. Other goals include promoting demand for low-carbon hydrogen from sectors such as industry and mobility and bringing together hydrogen transmission and distribution. In order to achieve these goals, the Alliance brings together politics, industry and society and thus provides the EU Commission…
Kongsberg Maritime was contracted by Island Offshore, a leading Norwegian supplier of high-quality solutions for the offshore oil field, to provide turnkey hybrid battery solutions for three of the company’s UT 776 CD-design Platform Supply Vessels.
