Harvesting among solar panels: can agrivoltaics help Europe meet green targets?

In the conflict between land use for food production versus green energy generation, new technology promises to eradicate the either-or-question: agrivoltaics. The European Union (EU) is keen to support the integration of solar panels into farming as a way to meet its renewable energy targets, but energy journalist Karolin Schaps finds hurdles remain along the way.

Hydropower can enable our net zero ambitions, but we need to act now

The world’s largest source of renewable energy and the provider of 94% of global energy storage, hydropower is enabling the rapid growth of wind and solar. But development is slow and governments need to do more in order to realise our net zero ambitions, writes Eddie Rich, CEO of the International Hydropower Association (IHA).
