The Turn of the Year!

2018 was a revolutionary year for technology and clean energy worldwide. Although there were some steps taken backwards, there was a lot of progress and the future seems bright. Today, we are going to look back on some of the biggest moments of 2018, and look forward to what 2019 holds in store.

Recap of technologies and advancements from 2018!

In April of 2018, Google, one of the largest companies in the market, made significant progress towards solving climate change as they offsetted all of their office and data centre electricity to wind and solar energy alternatives. Google now stands as a good role model for other big companies to follow, and will hopefully set a precedent to others that will do the same. Furthermore, Apple also switched to 100% renewable energy globally, mostly from solar energy. These moves from many large tech firms are setting a standard in the industry to do better for the environment.

The Future of Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is energy collected from infinite sources, such as wind, sunlight, and tides. With the International Energy Agency expecting renewable electricity generation to rise by over one-third by the year 2022, it is important to increase the types of renewable energies to produce enough electricity from clean energy. 

Floating Solars

Also known as floating photovoltaic, floating solar energy is an array of solar panels on a structure that floats on top of a body of water like a lake or reservoir. A technological feature of floating solar energy is that it does not take up any land space, and is instead occupied on water, an inhabitable area for human beings. It’s structure also prevents evaporation on whichever area it’s built upon, which could partially contribute healthily in reduction of climate change dangers like flooding. Also, it’s easier to manage than land made solar panels. Lastly, the structure of floating solar energy allows for a simple implementation of a cooling system and storage system to store up energy efficiently.
