Achieving net zero – perspective of a young professional in the Middle East

When it comes to climate action, it is inevitable that younger generations will inherit the consequences of what is done today. As a result, they must be recognised as the critical voices of the energy transition debate, writes Piotr Konopka, Board Member of the EI Middle East, and Senior Manager of Energy and Decarbonisation Programmes at a global shipping and logistics company.

Wind

New method for designing wind turbines

The height of wind turbines and the length of their blades are increasing apace. As a result, the huge forces exerted on the blades and rotor hub are becoming even greater. Calculating how wind behaves at a wind farm and what that means for the levelised costs of energy has many uncertainties. However, a new research method has been developed that significantly reduces the gap between simulation and reality.

New study calculates the probability of CO₂ leaking from geological storage

Researchers that developed a novel methodology to calculate the effects of injecting billions of tonnes of CO₂ underground to store it over millions of years report that it can be safely undertaken in the drive to achieve carbon neutrality.
