2022年7月6日 · Invented by California-based energy developer Aquantis, the Tidal Power Tug turbine is a second-generation floating tidal energy converter. The turbine is equipped with a versatile spar-buoy platform that supports a 10-meter diameter, two-bladed variable-pitch rotor and a 160 kW drivetrain.

2020年1月31日 · MeyGen, the world’s largest tidal array, has completed the longest ever run of uninterrupted generation by a multi-megawatt tidal turbine, powering almost 4,000 homes in 2019. The four giant turbines have now exported 24.7 gigawatt hours (GWh) of predictable renewable power to the national grid.

2021年8月6日 · Harvesting power from waves and the tides could meet as much as 20% of the UK’s electricity demand, according to a 2013 government report. Since then, the withdrawal of public subsidies for some green energy projects has led to some tidal power developments being cancelled or postponed in the UK.

2022年3月22日 · Ocean power is not currently on track to play its part in helping the world reach carbon neutrality by 2050, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says in its Ocean Power tracking report. To achieve this goal, ocean power generation needs to grow an average of 33% a year between 2020 and 2030.

2025年1月10日 · Tidal power has the potential to play a crucial role in the global energy transition, with an estimated capacity to harvest 1 terawatt of energy worldwide, equivalent to global solar power capacity in 2023. To achieve net zero by 2050, global investment in …

2015年9月7日 · The world’s tides contain enough energy to power the entire UK’s electricity consumption.And, since it effectively harnesses the moon’s constant and predictable gravitational pull, tidal power overcomes one of renewable energy’s classic problems – the fact you never know quite how much sun, wind or rain to expect.

2015年3月6日 · The Swansea Bay scheme demonstrates a renewed interest in tidal power, which has many advantages compared to other renewable sources. It is well documented that increasing integration of volatile, unpredictable sources of renewable energy such as wind and solar power jeopardises the stability of the power grid.

2022年11月3日 · The major challenge in greening the power generation sector is the continuing reliance on coal to power some of the world’s biggest economies. As the chart below from Our World in Data shows, China’s use of coal-fired power plants is still increasing rapidly, with more than 5,000 TWh of electricity produced by burning coal in 2021.

2021年2月17日 · Power will be supplied by as many as 600 giant wind turbines, each standing up to 260 metres tall. Such efforts are key given new climate-first commitments from countries around the world. As Reuters has reported , the European Union intends to depend entirely on renewable energy by 2031, increasing its energy capacity 25-fold by 2050.

2023年4月12日 · Could this be the year that renewable power generation reaches a tipping point – where power generation emissions begin to fall? The report’s findings show the huge potential of decarbonizing the electricity sector, since more than 40% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are the result of burning fossil fuels for power generation.
