Advancements in solar technology
The latest trends in solar technology include the development of more efficient and affordable photovoltaic cells, as well as the integration of solar panels into building materials. Additionally, the use of solar tracking systems and floating solar farms is expected to increase in the coming years.
Growth of offshore wind farms
Offshore wind farms are becoming increasingly popular due to their higher wind speeds and lower visual impact compared to onshore wind farms. The trend for 2024 and beyond is the construction of larger and more powerful offshore wind turbines, as well as the exploration of new offshore wind sites.
Expansion of energy storage solutions
The demand for energy storage solutions, such as batteries and pumped hydro storage, is expected to grow as renewable energy sources become more prevalent. Advancements in energy storage technologies, including longer-lasting and more cost-effective options, will play a crucial role in the future of clean energy.
Innovations in hydrogen energy
Hydrogen is gaining attention as a clean energy source, particularly for industries with high energy requirements. The latest trends involve the development of green hydrogen production methods using renewable energy sources, as well as the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure for transportation and energy storage.
