Embracing the power of renewable energy, for a better tomorrow
It was a crisp autumn morning in 2019 when Maria, a small-scale farmer from rural Kenya, received a visit from a team of engineers from a local renewable energy company. They came with a proposal to install a solar-powered irrigation system on her farm, one that would not only reduce her energy bills but also…

Imagine a world where entire cities are underwater, coastal towns are ravaged by relentless storms, and droughts ravage once-thriving agricultural regions. Sounds like the plot of a dystopian novel, right? Unfortunately, this is not a fictional world. According to a recent report by the United Nations, over 500 million people worldwide are expected to be…
As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, one question haunts us all: how can we harness the power of renewable energy without sacrificing the reliability of our grid? The answer lies in a promising technology that’s been gaining traction in recent years: flow battery systems. These innovative power storage solutions have the…
Imagine a world where your home is powered by a solar panel the size of a postcard, where electric cars zip by with autonomous precision, and where the air is so clean you can breathe a sigh of relief. Sounds like science fiction, right? But what if I told you this world is not just…
The notion that renewable energy is always the more expensive option is a myth that’s been perpetuated for far too long. In reality, the cost of renewable energy is not only comparable to traditional fossil fuels, but in some cases, it’s even cheaper. However, the story is more complex than just a simple cost comparison….
I still remember the summer I spent in rural Africa, where the sun beat down relentlessly every day. My host family, like many others in the community, relied on kerosene lamps for light after dark, exposing themselves to toxic fumes and limited opportunities for education and economic growth. One evening, a group of young locals…
