Energy Gain and the community: Life-Saving Defibrillator Installed at Chassen Park
Energy Gain and the community- Life saving Defibrillator installed at Abbotsfield (Chassen) Park. We are proud to be supporting our local community by donating a defibrillator to Chassen Park. This essential addition enhances the network of life-saving equipment available in our community. Chassen Park is a popular destination, especially on Sundays, when the Urmston & […]
How much electricity does a solar panel produce?
Introduction Solar panels are one of the most popular forms of generating energy for your business. However, many still wonder how much electricity a solar panel can produce. While a lot of this can be down to specific conditions and the type of solar panel used, there are some general criteria that can help give […]
New Solar panels have been developed that can generate electricity at night
Stanford University researchers have created a photovoltaic (PV) cell that uses a process called radiative cooling to allow for 24 hour renewable energy generation. It works by tapping into the heat being radiated from the surface of the solar cells as infrared light into outer-space on clear nights. By incorporating a thermoelectric generator into a […]
UK Energy status update
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has unveiled a new energy strategy that aims to tackle rising energy costs and boost energy independence amid drastically increasing energy prices stoked by the Russian-Ukraine invasion. These ambitious new commitments are expected to supercharge the development of wind, solar, nuclear, hydrogen, oil and gas which […]
Russian Gas Monopoly Continues…
On Monday, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Alexander Novak, threatened to cut off the gas supply to Western Europe. This came in response to the continuing sanctions being placed on his country, in light of the invasion and ongoing war in Ukraine. European energy chiefs will be understandably concerned, given the dependence the continent has on […]
The War in Ukraine – What this means for UK energy
Recent events in Ukraine have caused everyone to gasp at their television screens in disbelief. A ground war and invasion of this kind has not been seen in Europe since World War 2, but now that it’s happening, how will it impact the rest of the world? Whilst we haven’t been touched by shelling, air […]
Solar Power - Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's How do solar photovoltaics work? Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells are able to generate direct current (D.C.) through the absorption of energy from sunlight. Solar modules are comprised of an array of many semiconductor cells. Each cell has been chemically doped to produce two characteristically different boundaries (a base and an emitter), creating an internal electric […]
ESG and its importance after COP 26
Why should business leaders consider ESG? Following more ambitious targets set at COP 26, more than 130 nations have made a commitment to achieve net-zero by 2050 or sooner. For these targets to be somewhat attainable, this ambition must be reciprocated by the private sector. Many countries have already employed carbon taxes, fuel levies and […]
Does carbon capture have a future?
Introduction The role that Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) will play in achieving a global net-zero will be pivotal. Whilst the world strives hard to decarbonise heavy industry, transport, electricity and heating, there will always be a proportion of unabated emissions. It is, therefore, carbon removals in the form of natural carbon sinks, carbon […]
Run up to COP 26 - priminister expects tough negotiations
The race to net zero is on and although some countries strive for a positive outcome, many haven't strategized or put in place policies to get them there. It's an effort for nations, companies, and individuals to pull together and tackle the problem collaboratively. With current pledges, global temperature increase is on a trajectory of […]
