LIKE if you like the idea of heating & powering your house without burning anything and SHARE if you think all new houses should be built with renewable technologies.
Robert visits the inspiring, and award-winning, Moonstone House:
https://themoonstoneproject.co.uk/
to find out how this massive property uses zero burnt energy and in fact is actually generating power.
It is bursting with new technology, is being constantly updated and is a true insight into a future where all new and normal houses are free from fossil fuels.

In this episode we look at the home of the future. A gizmo that generates clean power within
your house; a skyscraper combo-glass that insulates from the tropical heat, is self-cleaning – and
actually generates electricity for the building from the sunlight that falls on it; and the professors in Taiwan busy pulling down walls and digging up concrete, making a start on turning the ultra-urban Taipei into a haven for streams and wild plants.
Changemakers
Had enough of eco-doom and gloom? Taking swimming lessons to cope with the rising sea-levels after climate change? This series looks at some of the weirdest climate change projects emerging from Asia. With its ever-increasing emissions comes the huge threat of climate change.
But Changemakers won’t take no for an answer. They’ve been told that Asia is the problem, with its ever-increasing emissions – but they also know that Asia, with its boundless energy and creativity, can come up with the solutions, too. Scientists and activists across all fields of science and technology are coming up with ideas large and small that all make a difference – and can help inspire others the world over.

This week we are exploring alternative energy sources. We’ll look at how biomass can be burned as a fuel source, how hydrogen can be used in a fuel cell to generate electrical power, and how nuclear fission provides power to the grid. We’ll also discuss how nuclear fusion might someday do the same without any radioactive waste.

In Copenhagen, Denmark lies Amager Bakke, a unique power plant. Not only is it the world’s cleanest waste-to-energy facility, it’s also home to a man-made mountain called CopenHill with its own ski slope, the world’s tallest climbing wall and challenging hiking trails up the building where you’ll find the best views of Copenhagen.
Opened in October 2019, the building was designed Bjarke Ingels Group (aka BIG) with an aim to create a building that can “contribute positively to the city, become part of the city, and even to be a landmark of the capital”. The plant serves 680,000 people and takes waste from up to 300 lorries each day. Its steam turbine produces 63MWh of energy, while its heat exchangers are used in a district heating system.

You already know that quality is a top priority at Renewal by Andersen. But did you know that we’re also committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility?
And we’re not just talking about new lightbulbs and recycled paper. We’re making bold moves to expand our use of clean energy.
Take our window factory in Cottage Grove, Minnesota; it subscribes to solar gardens to cover 100% of its electrical needs.
And that’s only the beginning. Learn more at RenewalbyAndersen.com Video Rating: / 5
Public interest led innovation in renewable energy is urgently needed. The financial sector is deeply compromised and cannot be relied upon to invest in effective technologies that are manufactured, rolled out, and make a difference to our energy emissions. Video Rating: / 5
Clean Energy is increasingly vital to the lives of people, industries and nations across our planet. The fossil fuel era is ending, leaving a legacy of climate change and air pollution. Clean energy promises a smarter future, not just in power generation, but a range of innovative technologies and applications. And here lies the opportunity for the long-term investor.

Which clean energy solutions are effective, and which need more work? Through explorations of household, city, and regional clean energy innovations and implementation efforts, Professor Daniel Kammen both analyzes successful innovation processes and identifies the areas that need urgent action and targeted programs. A mixture of analytic and empirical studies are used to explore what steps have worked and where dramatic new approaches are needed.
This talk was presented on March 6, 2018 as part of the IHS Markit Seminar Series.
Daniel Kammen is a professor of energy at the University of California, Berkeley, with parallel appointments in the Energy and Resources Group, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the Department of Nuclear Engineering. Kammen is the founding director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory and former director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center. His research focuses on energy supply; transmission; the smart grid and low-carbon energy systems; the life-cycle impacts of transportation options; and energy for community development in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He has published extensively on these topics and testified numerous times in U.S. state and federal congressional briefings. In 2010, Kammen was appointed the first energy fellow of the Environment and Climate Partnership for the Americas; he has also served the state of California and the U.S. federal government in several other expert and advisory capacities.

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the solutions for and whether it’s even possible to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050. Specifically, this video looks at the obstacles renewable technologies like wind turbines and solar panels, solar power, and solar energy face in the coming decade by unpacking some of the common arguments fielded against renewables. The documentary, Planet of Humans, was recently published and is a prime example of this kind of renewable bashing. Ultimately though, I show that the problems facing renewables like wind turbine energy and solar panel energy are surmountable through existing technologies like pumped-hydro storage and grid interconnectors. Ultimately, 100% renewable fossil-fuel-free energy is not only possible but necessary to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

Serial CEO Bill Nussey has created thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in value throughout his career. Learning
that the cost of solar and wind-generated energy was now competitive with fossil fuels led to an epiphany.
In 2016, Bill founded the Freeing Energy Project to accelerate the shift to cleaner and cheaper energy. His book, which outlines his findings following more than a year of research and interviews with top energy experts, is slated for publication in 2018. He plans to turn his attention toward a small set of companies that will further
the Freeing Energy mission.
Bill received a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University, worked as a venture
capitalist with Greylock, and received his MBA from Harvard Business School. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Video Rating: / 5
