Solar panels are an innovative part of energy production and consumption. They are cost-effective and help consumers have a better, cleaner impact on the environment. However, throughout the lifespan of solar panels, they become obsolete and must eventually go to waste. In this process, e-waste from the panels can be detrimental to the environment —.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Germany’s depressed onshore wind market finally looks set to get some relief. Long a global leader, Germany's wind market fell to its lowest point in years in 2019, due in part to a botched auction design. The design change saw lawmakers replacing feed-in tariffs with an auction system that was opened up to community projects. Under the new system, community developers weren’t required to have obtained a permit prior to bidding, and were given a generous four-and-a-half-year comm

As the European Commission works on a revision of its central climate policy tool, the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council suggests a radically new standard.
