Observing contrails: identification & dynamics prediction

Condensation trails – so-called contrails – are artificial clouds composed of water, soot, and cool air behind jet aircraft in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. These non-CO₂ emissions are responsible for a large share of aviation’s impact on climate change. A French-German research project is now aiming to observe and forecast their impact. Contrails have been an object of research in the past

Dispatchable solar energy changes the game

Conventional solar systems are generally designed and operated to produce maximum electricity at all times. But when solar energy is used on a large scale, it becomes necessary for it to contribute to the grid flexibility needed to maintain the supply-demand balance. The combination of photovoltaics with storage allows the control of the energy supplied to the grid, making solar power distributable on demand. What

Climate Change: Perspectives for the European PV Sector

In his Climate Speech on 23 Jan 2020, UN Climate Change Deputy Executive Secretary Ovais Sarmad called 2020 "a critical year for addressing climate change." In Europe, where tenders and PPAs are expected to push the market for largescale installations in the coming years, self-consumption is an important aspect, and the consumers are ready for the transition to renewables, too: 70% of Europeans surveyed intend

Renewables in France: Reunion Island is taking a lead

On 17 August 2015, the french government adopted the energy transition act for green growth. Almost five years later, Reunion Island is taking a lead with respect to their installed solar capacity and the country's energy transition. Stepping up the game When France set up its plan for energy transition, it aimed to cut the consumption of fossil fuels by 30% by 2030 and

Reunion Island on the road to energy self-sufficiency by 2030

Reunion Island is facing the challenge of saying goodbye to imported fossil fuels and reaching energy self-sufficiency by 2030, a goal defined in the region’s Multiannual Energy Program (PPE). In 2019, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency ADEME has delivered the latest report on the island’s development and future scenarios, which will allow this plan to become reality.
