Living under a green lifestyle, I lived through the policies China adopted to promote low-carbon growth and the green transformation, and the way they were rolled out. This article is to share my first-hand experiences.

The development of renewable energy since the early 2000s should continue and intensify in the coming years, changing significantly the electricity mix of the future while reducing the associated environmental impacts. It is therefore crucial...

Tesla’s PowerWall is the first mass-produced individual electric storage solution to hit the market. But does it offer any true ecological benefit? Is it cost-effective enough to be sustainable? Two specialists discuss these issues.

To many people, a handy and direct way to comment on “Made in China” is: advanced countries became loyal buyers of cheap Chinese products and gave rise to its consistent and powerful growth. However, if one only...

In February Elon Musk boldly predicted Tesla motors would go where no car company has ever gone before, to a $700 billion market valuation by 2025. To put that in perspective, Apple became the most...

Wind turbine and solar power sources now represent a significant fraction in the electricity generation mix of industrialized countries. How did they achieve such a breakthrough successfully? European countries use differing models, which all show...

Storing electricity? Some old solutions to this old problem are gaining momentum nowadays, thanks to recent improvements. Among these solutions, using electricity to obtain hydrogen and reconverting it later into energy or heat via fuel...

The German experience reminds us: energy transition must be progressive and planned for the long term. The first stage in such a debate must be an objective discourse on intermittent energy sources to avoid unrealistic ideas about their potential.

The green energy boom has opened up cracks in the electricity sector to force to the surface problems which until recently were of only marginal interest. Wind power in particular has provoked forceful debates. Among...

The electricity transmission network is the backbone of the electrical system, a key asset in the energy transition. It must both adapt to the means of production and meet consumption needs to ensure a sustainable...

The energy mix can be defined as the distribution of primary energy sources consumed to produce various types of energy used in a given country. For different reasons, running from availability of the resources to...
