Who we are
Electrifying.world is your blog on renewable energy. We look at this central topic, considering the scientific foundations, developing technologies and evolving business opportunities. We are ready for a decarbonised economy, are you?
This month's feature
This month’s focus is on carbon capture, as without it, decarbonisation is not possible. We cover everything from natural carbon capture to man-made carbon capture plants!
Carbon Capture and Storage – too expensive to save humanity?
Carbon Capture and Storage can be practised in two ways, naturally and mechanically. The natural approach is planting additional trees.
Hydrogen – unleash the beast!
This post focuses on several ways of hydrogen production, looking deeper into the underlying processes and green hydrogen technologies.
Biomass – Renewable Energy by burning our forests?
Biomass contributed approx. 9% of the worlds energy demand of the FY2017. What is the difference of burning coal or oil to wood or waste?
Renewable Energy – just a drop in the bucket
The worlds energy mix is still heavily dependent on traditional energy sources. It needs to make gigantic steps towards renewable energies.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) – Milking the sun
Solar electricity is generated by sunlight (solar radiation) hitting semiconductors within the PV cell resulting in freed electrons.
Hydropower – the most substantial renewable energy source
Hydropower is a renewable, versatile, flexible technology that can meet the demand ranging from single households to industry and the public.
COVID-19 – The financial crisis of 2008 was a piece of cake
We see ourselves heading towards the next crisis at a frightening pace, but surely, we should be prepared from past crises, right?
Wind Energy – worth the breeze?
The first-ever wind turbine, to generate electricity, was installed in 1888, in Cleveland, Ohio, and had a peak capacity of 12kWp.
