Your Guide to Successful Solar in the Northeast

September 20, 2022

your-guide-to-successful
Flat, clear land is prime real estate for solar, but as these ideal sites are taken up, more projects will need to be built in regions with challenging terrain, such as steep slopes, undulating topography, former marshland, and agricultural fields. The Northeast is one such region which also has much potential for solar growth. New York, for example, has consistently been in the top 10 U.S. solar markets, with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) projecting a growth of 4,877 MW for the state over the next five years1 .

An energy transformation plan for the climate emergency

whitePaper | January 30, 2020

This report presents one strand of the pathway to a genuinely sustainable future. It is not, as so many other reports have been, about “green growth projects”. Rather, the ambition is to propose a quite different way of life that will deliver a different kind of prosperity, one that prioritises wellbeing and builds resilience via a localised circular economy.

Offshore Wind Market Report: 2022 Edition

whitePaper | January 17, 2023

In the United States, commercial-scale offshore wind energy deployment is at an early stage with only 42 megawatts (MW) generating power; however, the domestic industry is poised for an exponential increase in new installations after the first large commercial projects advanced to the construction phase in 2021–2022. Over the past 20 years, offshore wind energy got a head start outside the United States with the help of coordinated European offshore wind energy incentives.

Scaling up the American wind industry

whitePaper | January 23, 2023

Since its inception in the 1980s, the wind industry has established itself as a critical source of clean, renewable energy – a role it must maintain into the future. Going forward, the continued growth of the global wind industry will prove ever more important, with DNV estimating that 5.6 terawatts of onshore wind energy and nearly three terawatts of offshore wind must be generated to achieve a “pathway to net zero” scenario by 2050

MAKING YOUR ORGANIZATION CARBON NEUTRAL WITH RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS

whitePaper | June 2, 2022

The growing importance of sustainability is cultivating demand for comprehensive energy solutions that can help organizations achieve their environmentally focused goals. Low-carbon alternatives in recent years have been more focused on electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar PV, in addition to some base load sources such as landfill gas and biomass-fueled power generation. However, demand for addressing the thermal side of the equation is gaining momentum.

RENEWABLE ENERGY OUTLOOK FOR ASEAN TOWARDS A REGIONAL ENERGY TRANSITION

whitePaper | September 30, 2022

The Southeast Asia region will see rapid economic growth in the coming decades and energy use is set to grow significantly. Today, the region stands at a crossroads. On the one hand, it can pursue a path of continued reliance on fossil fuels, most of which come from non-indigenous sources, increasing the region’s emissions and exposure to volatile and increasingly expensive global commodity markets. On the other, the region could utilise its ample, affordable, indigenous renewable energy resources to lower energy costs, reduce emissions and drive regional economic development. This second edition of the Renewable energy outlook for ASEAN was developed in collaboration the ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE) and the ASEAN Renewable Energy Sub-sector Network. It is guided by IRENA’s World energy transitions outlook and builds upon the first Renewable energy outlook for ASEAN, released in 2016, by incorporating a net-zero pathway and a longer-term perspective to 2050.
