A Data-Enabled Logistics City with Blockchain at its Heart
“Truly innovative projects are those that allow access of all agents of the ecosystem to the most modern technologies and exponents, in all its forms. This is what we are building at the Polo Multimodal: through the use of innovative engineering we will promote the true social revolution,” states Polo Multimodal, the firm building a […]
Building Energy Flexibility into Our Smart Power Systems
It is the same old problem. The large-scale distribution of renewable energy generation is required to mitigate the impacts of fuel poverty and climate change but these intermittent power sources push the grid to its limits or beyond them. The solution is the same too. We must develop a more flexible power system to account […]
New Paper Underlines Blockchain’s Importance to the Future Energy System
The future of our energy system is distributed and complex. Made up of billions of endpoints – microgrids, renewable energy, smart buildings, appliances, sensors and energy management software – interacting with one another in multiple ways. The future of energy involves consumers and prosumers, it handles fluctuating renewable energy sources, utilizes energy storage, and it […]
Industry is Poised to Install Microgrids Faster Than Any Other Sector
According to the Rocky Mountain Institute corporate survey, nearly two-thirds of Fortune 100 companies and nearly half of Fortune 500 companies have set ambitious green energy targets. Some, like tech giants Google and Apple, have gone green by investing directly in vast renewable energy generation plants for their power-hungry data centers, but for the majority […]

ACEEE Report Highlights Pathways to Zero Energy Buildings through Building Codes
“Climate change is running faster than we are — and we are running out of time.” That is the stark conclusion of the long-awaited Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report on global warming. “Pledges from the world’s governments to reduce greenhouse gases, made in Paris in 2015, aren’t enough to keep global warming […]
Politics Not Technology Stands in the Way of a Clean Energy Future
“It is the way of this world that a ‘crazy person’ is often required for lowering the risk barriers for everyone else,” said 1998 Nobel Laureate in Physics, author and professor at Stanford University Robert B. Laughlin. “In science we like to say that there are three stages of any important new idea; the first […]
Tesla’s Energy Products Continue to Suffer Delays but What or Who is to Blame?
Order a Tesla Powerwall in the US today and you’ll be waiting six to nine months for it to arrive. Want to combine that with a Solar Roof and it will be well into 2019 before installation might happen. Elon Musk’s firm are experiencing such severe delays on these energy products that those who have […]
