The Incredible ULCS – Ultra Low Cost Solar

August 24, 2023

The Incredible ULCS
Urgent action must be taken to accelerate Australia’s progress towards 43 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. Solar photovoltaics (PV) will be one of the most important technologies to achieve decarbonisation of the global energy system, however, a step change in costs is needed to unlock its full potential.

PLANNING MOZAMBIQUE’S OPTIMAL POWER SYSTEM EXPANSION

whitePaper | November 1, 2022

Mozambique has the largest power generation potential in the entire Southern African region thanks to its vast and largely untapped gas, hydro, wind and solar resources. Despite this huge generation potential only 38.6%1) of its population had access to electricity in 2021. The total installed power capacity in Mozambique stood at around 2,800 MW in the year 2021 whereas the peak demand reported by the state-owned energy utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) was at 1,035 MW. Over 50% of the total electricity demand is originating from the capital area Maputo and the surrounding southern part of the country, while only around 20%2) of the population.

Huawei European Green Paper

whitePaper | June 7, 2022

Since establishing its first European R&D center in Sweden 20 years ago, Huawei has been collaborating to innovate and develop alongside European partners. Currently, Huawei has more than 15,000 employees in Europe, about 70% of whom are locally recruited, and indirectly supports more than 224,000 jobs, with 2 regional offices and 27 R&D centers. Huawei has established 230 technical cooperation projects and has partnered with over 150 universities across Europe. Today, green development has become an important trend. Green development, on par with the digital economy, has emerged as a major area of focus and global consensus in the roadmaps released by economies, including those in Europe. Huawei is committed to using technology to contribute to a better planet. We support Europe in achieving carbon neutrality through reducing carbon emissions, contributing to a circular economy,promoting renewable energy, and conserving nature with technology

Getting airborne – the need to realize the benefits of airborne wind energy for net zero

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

Airborne wind energy (AWE) is wind 2.0 – a game-changing solution accessing the large untapped wind resource potential at heights above those accessed by established wind technology. It enables more energy to be extracted at lower carbon intensity and eventually at lower cost. Europe and other areas in the world need to access all viable natural resources they can, and AWE, alongside established wind technology, should be considered as one of the key solutions to our energy decarbonisation challenge.

Solar Power In Your Community

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

Installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has grown rapidly in the United States over the past decade, reaching nearly 74 gigawatts-AC as of the end of 2020. Approximately one-third of this capacity (28 gigawatts) is distributed PV, including residential, community, and commercial solar installations (Davis et al. 2021). A combination of technology cost declines, federal incentives, and state policy support have driven increased deployment and enabled more communities to access the benefits of PV. Increasingly, solar is playing an important role in local plans such as resilience planning, sustainability planning, and climate action planning.
