Currently, a high-efficiency car company, Aperta Motors, is conducting test drives and safety tests on a new design of cars. These Aperta are three-wheelers, covered by 34 square feet of solar panels, which provide enough energy to drive up to 40 miles on a sunny day.

In response to increasing gas emissions, air pollution, and global warming, a new and reliable renewable energy source is needed to alleviate major environmental concerns and become a sustainable alternative to burning fossil fuels. Solar energy is the fastest growing renewable energy source in the US and is projected to overtake the current, most utilized renewable energy source, hydropower, by 2030 [1]. Solar energy refers to the conversion of heat and light energy from the sun into electricity. It is considered the “cheapest electricity in history

The Western Australian government says the state could play host to a stunning total of 100 gigawatts of new wind and solar capacity to produce green hydrogen by 2030, and could double that number by 2040.
The staggering numbers were cited in a speech last week by the state’s hydrogen industry minister Alannah MacTiernan – and to put them in context, WA currently has less than one gigawatt of wind and solar capacity and the entire country has barely more than 10GW of operating large scale wind and solar.
“With current and planned projects under consideration we could see Western Australia produce up to 100 gigawatt (sic) of renewable energy for hydrogen in the next 10 years, which could increase to 200 gigawatt by 2040,” MacTiernan says in her speech to the local CEDA branch.
AMP Energy Invests $2 Billion In Australian Renewable Energy Hub
Amp Energy (Amp), A Toronto-based clean energy global developer, has invested over $2 billion in establishing the 1.3 GW Renewable Energy Hub of South Australia (REHSA). Amp may be stationed in Canada, but it has a growing portfolio in Australia.
The new facility will integrate the large-scale wind, PV (Photovoltaics), and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets and incorporate the Spencer Gulf Hydrogen Energy Ecoplex. It will be including at least three massive solar projects, two of which would supply South Australia’s green hydrogen ambitions.
The PV projects include Robertstown (636 MW), Bungama (336 MW), and Yoorndoo Ilga (388 MW). There will be a total BESS capacity of up to 540MW across the portfolio. Overall, the projects will create sufficient electricity to power 230,000 homes annually. Plus, Amp plans to generate hydrogen for domestic and export markets from the Spencer facility to ports in Asia.
Methods to achieve growth in tandem with energy goals 08:00 | 08/05/2021
As Vietnamâs economy is experiencing significant growth, so is its demand for energy consumption. The industrial sector, followed by the transport one, requires the highest growth rate and in fact also consumes the largest amount of energy. Energy efficiency, among others, is an integral part of reaching economic growth with the lowest possible amount of CO2 emissions.

To that end, wind energy is considered the most clean and feasible candidate, with an emission rate of about less than 10g CO2 per kWh.
