The U.S. Department of Energy''s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has three core divisions: Renewable Energy, Sustainable Transportation and Fuels, and Buildings and Industry. The Renewable Energy pillar comprises four technology offices: Geothermal Technologies Office. Solar Energy Technologies Office.
e. Energy is sustainable if it "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." [1] [2] Definitions of sustainable energy usually look at its effects on the
Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) is developing a process to capture CO2 from the exhaust gas of coal-fired power plants by desublimation—the conversion of a gas to a solid. Capturing CO2 as a solid and delivering it as a liquid avoids the large energy cost of CO2 gas compression. SES'' capture technology facilitates the prudent use of
One proposed solution is the utilization of energy storage [20]. Razmi et al. [21] implemented a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system in a wind farm, where the surplus power generated by the wind farm was used to supply the input power for the CAES system. In this context, they were able to provide 60 MW of power during peak
Innovative solutions can make the energy production, transmission and consumption more flexible, allowing for a higher, cost-effective use of renewables and empowering a new generation of energy consumers. Electrification, decentralisation and digitalization are leading innovation trends that are changing paradigms, unlocking
1 · The key is to store energy produced when renewable generation capacity is high, so we can use it later when we need it. With the world''s renewable energy capacity reaching record levels, four storage
Sustainable Solutions towards a Low Carbon Future. SP Group is committed to enabling a low carbon, smart energy future for customers in Singapore and the region. We develop sustainable solutions for individuals and organisations, powered by our in-house energy technology and digital capabilities. As a leading energy utilities company, we have
Triple investments in renewables. At least $4 trillion a year needs to be invested in renewable energy until 2030 – including investments in technology and infrastructure – to allow us to
Sustainable Energy. These sustainable energy technologies are all new or modified processes, techniques, practices, systems, and products that are developed to generate, harvest, convert, store, transport, and operate power that avoid or reduce environmental harms. Very often this solution is proposed in relation to the use of fossil fuels
COVID-19 Intensifies the Urgency to Expand Sustainable Energy Solutions Worldwide. To meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets by 2030, countries must safeguard the gains already attained and accelerate efforts to achieve affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. WASHINGTON, May 28,
Hydropower is the world''s biggest source of renewable energy by far, with China, Brazil, Canada, the U.S., and Russia the leading hydropower producers. While hydropower is theoretically a clean
Energy efficiency: Global primary energy intensity - an important indicator of how heavily the world''s economic activity uses energy - improved by 1.7% in 2017. That is better than the 1.3% average rate of progress between 1990 and 2010 but still well below the original target rate of 2.6% and a marked slowdown from the previous two years.
Chemistry graduate student Oliver Solares is working toward finding solutions for clean energy and mitigating the impacts of climate change. During a summer internship to learn more about sustainable energy solutions, Solares worked on a research project to convert biomass waste into functional, usable hydrocarbon fuel at the
Even in the most energy-intensive industries, companies are finding significant sustainable energy wins, like a fully-electric biotech manufacturing facility. Here are 10 sustainable energy solutions you can implement at
Solar power could play a vital role in decarbonizing power generation—even as it disrupts the status quo. Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainability initiatives and renewables could play a key role in decarbonizing the generation of power. With interest in solar power on the rise, the San Francisco–based company Sunrun pioneered a
Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions and those doing business under that brand, Duke Energy Commercial Enterprises, Inc. and Duke Energy One, Inc. ("DESS entities") are not the same companies as Duke Energy Corporation''s regulated utilities, including Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Florida, Duke Energy Kentucky, Duke Energy Indiana,
Sustainable Energy Systems. Democratizing access to clean, sustainable, affordable energy will open opportunities for billions of people to obtain a better quality of life through jobs, improved health, and greater protection from global warming. More than 840 million people around the world lack access to electricity and almost 3 billion
Of the energy that fuel provides to vehicles a substantial proportion is lost. A breakdown of the average losses of internal-combustion-engine cars (fleet make up 70% petrol and 30% diesel) is shown.
That''s where Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions comes in. As a nationwide leader in energy reliability, we connect large power users to the backup power, energy infrastructure and microgrids their business needs to stay up and running. With more than 25 years in energy reliability, you can count on us to help your business endure and thrive

Founded in 2008 and acquired by Chart Industries in 2020, Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) develops practical, innovative, and cost effective solutions to sustainability problems within the
The UN-Energy Plan of Action sets out a framework for collective action that includes doubling annual clean energy investment globally, and facilitating electricity access for 500 million people, as well as clean cooking solutions for one billion. It identifies seven areas for work, ranging from scaling up efforts to close the energy access gap
The report, "Sustainable Energy Solutions for Rural Alaska," provides recommendations from a study conducted over the course of 18 months that involved in-person interviews with utility staff and community members from more than 30 Alaska rural communities. The purpose of the study was to understand the current challenges and identify
More energy efficiency means less pollution, and energy efficiency has increased by around 2% annually in the past few years. But meeting the target for 2030 — to double the rate of the 1990
