DATONG, CHINA - AUGUST 14: Aerial view of photovoltaic panels in the Panda Solar Station on August 14, 2017 in Datong, Shanxi Province of China. The first Panda Solar Station began operations on August 10, 2017 in Datong. The station's installed capacity is 100MW, which is estimated to generate 3.2 billion kWh of electricity, saving 1.06 million tons of coal and reducing 2.74 million tons of carbon dioxide emission during its expected lifespan of 25 years.Initiated by Panda Green Energy Group, the project is also backed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

‘Air Breathing’ Battery can Store Electricity for Months
A team at MIT have developed a radical new “air breathing” battery that can store energy for months on end, comes at a fraction of the cost of our current technology and could be used en-masse, making it perfect for renewable energy.
Renewable energy is the future, there’s no doubt about that and while the technologies that produce the energy are plummeting in price there is still one area where we’re struggling.
