Mildura Solar Power Station is a concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) project being built in Carwrap, south of Mildura in the state of Victoria, Australia. The project will use high performance solar cells used to power satellites. The plant was proposed to have an installed capacity of 100MW initially to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions by 396,000t.

Six of the ten biggest power stations in the US are fossil-fuelled, while the other four, including the two biggest Grand Coulee and Palo Verde, are hydro -and nuclear-powered. Power-technology.com profiles the ten biggest power stations in the US based on installed capacity.

Despite being touted as the best way to clean up dirty fossil fuels, commercial deployment of carbon capture storage (CCS) in the power industry has been near non-existent. Now, for the first time ever, a coal-fired power plant is being retrofitted with CCS.

Kemper County energy facility, which is currently under construction, will use coal gasification TRIG technology to turn lignite coal into gas while capturing 65% of CO2 produced. Learn more from Mississippi Power's company video.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has been accused of 'waging a war' on coal after announcing proposals to reduce CO2 emitted by coal-fired power plants. Industry has called the proposals "extreme" and "ill-advised" and it is poised for a fight. But should the EPA be the coal industry's only concern?

Moapa is the first large-scale solar power project to have gained construction approval on a tribal land in North America.

Rodenhuize power station is an 180MW biomass-fuelled plant located in Ghent, Belgium. The plant was converted from a coal-fired unit called Rodenhuize 4 into a 100% biomass unit.

Mill Creek onshore wind farm is a 60MW renewable power project being built in Ohariu Valley near Wellington, New Zealand. Construction started in January 2013 and commercial operation started in September 2014.

Alstom recently announced it was installing a new flue gas corrosion protection system at the Weiher coal power plant in Germany to protect its boiler evaporator walls against corrosion by reduced oxygen potential. With plants expected to run for decades

China has signalled plans to invest $16bn into its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, a move that could stimulate massive growth in EV sales and help the country cut carbon emissions. We take a look at the project and find out what impact an EV revolution could have on the power grid.

Scientists working on an international collaboration to mimic the process of photosynthesis have reached a significant milestone in the quest to develop an efficient and abundant alternative fuel. The results could bring us one step closer to matching plants in their ability to exploit the Sun's energy

"We know that average workers spend about 38 hours a week at their workplace. That is a lot of time to spend in one place and no one enjoys working in a messy environment surrounded by piles of paper, dust, and clutter. An effective workplace cleaning plan can help. A messy office negatively affects employee productivity and gives a poor first impression to prospective customers entering the office. Daily cleaning will make your office feel fresh, welcome and professional. A clean office is of vital importance, it improves productivity, creativity, meditation, and health."

The perennial argument for maintaining significant fossil fuel capacity is this: when the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine, and the mercury drops low enough that the whole country simultaneously dials up the thermostat, then renewables on their own are not enough to keep the lights on

Electricity has begun to flow at Hornsea 1, a wind array that will become the world's biggest offshore wind farm off the coast of the UK. This milestone makes the UK's offshore wind sector arguably the best in the world, and with significant investment recently announced it looks set to maintain that position.

While the use of solar cells is become increasingly widespread, the silicon technology used in many types is becoming obsolete. JP Casey looks at concentrated solar power, micro-trackers and perovskite compounds as innovations that could potentially improve solar efficiency.

While the world's eyes are on the sporting action during this year's Cricket World Cup, behind the scenes the UK stadiums hosting the games are smashing renewable energy goals.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's long-held ambitions for civil nuclear power have hit the headlines again, partly due to the Trump administration's support. If the kingdom is to succeed, it first has to accept its international obligations, including IAEA monitoring.
