The IEA forecast indicates a sharp rise in the requirements of AI, but said threat to the climate was overstated The global rush to AI technology will require almost as much energy by the end of this decade as Japan uses today, but only about half of the demand is likely to be met from renewable sources. Processing data, mainly for AI, will consume more electricity in the US alone by 2030 than manufacturing steel, cement, chemicals and all other energy-intensive goods combined, according to a re
Wind Turbine at Hatston Pier in Kirkwall, Orkmey Ministers, businesses and the public have been warned that up to 30bn worth of scheduled onshore investment in Scottish renewable projects could be put at risk if zonal energy pricing proposals are backed by the government later this month. Recent analysis as part of the onshore wind sector deal found that more than 10GW of projects are in the Scottish onshore wind development pipeline.
As the world moves to reduce carbon emissions, solar and wind power will play an increasing role in electricity grids. But those renewable sources only generate electricity when it's sunny or windy. So to ensure a reliable power gridone that can deliver electricity 24/7it's crucial to have a means of storing electricity when supplies are abundant and delivering it later, when they're not.

Sponsored by TTI. The automotive industry is focusing on providing faster charging infrastructure. Todays available DC fast chargers, providing between 50 to 200 kilowatts of power, typically can add about 200 miles of driving range in one hour. This may be sufficient for many use cases, but for long-distance travel, a one-hour charge simply isnt fast enough.
