'The global energy crisis is driving a sharp acceleration in installations of renewable power, with total capacity growth worldwide set to almost double in the next five years, overtaking coal as the largest source of electricity generation along the way and helping keep alive the possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, the IEA says in a new report.'

Regional towns have been declining for decades, with multiple effects on their Agricultural industries and the viability of the town itself. In Agriculture, for example, workers are leaving for the cities. Historically these have been replaced by energy systems for harvesting, shearing, water management, etc. The trend against fossil fuel as an energy source requires an alternative source - for example, electricity...  Check out Yackandandah - in the High Country, northern Victoria.  (Totally Renewable Yackandandah) >

Research on Wave Energy Harvesting Technology of Annular Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Multi-Electrode Structure. 'Triboelectric nanogenerators can convert wave energy into the electrical energy required by ocean sensors, but the problem of the low electrical output performance of triboelectric nanogen- erators has always been a concern. In this paper, an annular triboelectric nanogenerator (A-TENG) composed of an annular outer shell and an inner ball is proposed to improve the electrical output performance of the triboelectric nanogenerator by optimizing the structural parameters and wave parameters.'

'a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the UN 'Climate Change High-Level Champions', focused on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions. Without international cooperation, the crucial global transition to net zero emissions could be delayed by decades.' (International Renewable Energy Agency) >
