Could the US-UK Trade Deal Bring a Biofuel Boom? 8 MayEthanol entering the UK from the US will face no tariffs under a new trade deal between the two countries. This renewable biofuel can reduce emissions and use of fossil fuels. It is often mixed with gasoline to improve fuel octane ratings, but can also be used in power generation. The US is a leading producer of ethanol, primarily made from plant materials like corn.
Google and Shell: Extending the Life of Offshore Wind Assets

1 month ago | energydigital.com | Chloe Williment

In a practical move focused on energy resilience and climate continuity, Google and Shell are collaborating to extend the operational life of the Netherlands' first offshore wind farm. Through a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA), Google has agreed to buy 100% of the site’s 108 MW output. This purchase unlocks a path for Shell to pursue the necessary permits and upgrades to keep the turbines spinning four years beyond their scheduled shutdown.

Ørsted has decided to scrap Hornsea 4, an offshore wind farm project proposed to sit 69km off the Yorkshire coast in England. This was its fourth project planned for the Hornsea zone, expected to provide up to 2.4 GW of clean power. Hornsea 4 was granted consent in July 2023 and received its contract for difference (CfD) in September 2024.
Will Battery Swapping Change How Vehicles Are Powered?

1 month ago | energydigital.com | James Darley

Battery swapping is emerging as a critical service within the electric vehicle (EV) sector, with companies like NIO, Gogoro, and Ample leading the charge. Once considered niche, this process allows for a rapid exchange of depleted EV batteries for fully charged ones, similar in concept to conventional petrol stations.
Top 10: Electric Hypercars

Electrification is a powerful lever for decarbonisation. When paired with renewable energy sources, it can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Often, electrified solutions offer more energy efficiency than traditional equipment, leaving room for increased performance and cost savings. Electric hypercars take electrification to the extreme, showing just how well batteries can perform. This week, Energy Digital has ranked 10 of the top electric hypercars. 10.
CBRE: Can AI Turn Data Centres into Energy Producers?

1 month ago | energydigital.com | Chloe Williment

With AI in play, digital hubs are beginning to optimise electricity use, support renewable integration and turn waste heat into valuable resources. CBRE takes a fresh look at data centres — not just as large-scale energy consumers, but as emerging energy contributors. As demand for AI and cloud-based services grows, so too does pressure on data centres to lower their carbon footprint. CBRE focuses on the opportunities to reshape their energy role.
Sustainability: How Delta is Saving Money and Jet Fuel

1 month ago | energydigital.com | Jasmin Jessen

Aviation contributes up to 3% of global emissions, a figure projected to increase without targeted efforts. With aviation being one of the toughest sectors to decarbonise, airlines face the challenge of maintaining operational efficiency while striving towards ambitious climate targets. Delta Air Lines is at the forefront of this mission. The airline has set a precedent as the first in the United States to meet its 2025 jet fuel savings target through operational improvements alone.

29 AprilSpain and Portugal’s loss of power on 28 April caused chaos. Trains stopped, traffic lights went out and the Madrid Open was suspended. Spain’s electricity network Red Eléctrica de España (REE) called it “el cero” – the zero – and said: “Red Eléctrica and industry companies are working in a coordinated manner to restore power supply throughout the country as quickly as possible. “The peninsular electricity system suffered a power outage this morning in mainland Spain and Portugal.
What is Siemens Gamesa's Impact on Global Wind Energy?

1 month ago | energydigital.com | Jasmin Jessen

Wind power is being used in more than half of all the countries in the world, generated by hundreds of thousands of turbines. Approximately 1,100 GW of wind power capacity is installed worldwide, and 130 GW of this is from Siemens Gamesa turbines alone. This includes high-profile projects such as ScottishPower’s East Anglia TWO, where Siemens Gamesa received a contract worth more than £1bn (US$1.3bn) to supply 64 turbines in the UK.
ScottishPower's Record Breaking East Anglia THREE Foundation

1 month ago | energydigital.com | Jasmin Jessen

A new offshore wind industry record has been set by East Anglia THREE, ScottishPower Renewables’ wind farm off the East coast of England. The company has successfully installed the first pair of monopile foundations, becoming the largest installed to date from a jack-up vessel in Europe with 93 more on the way over the next year. Each of these will as the base for a 14.7 MW Siemens Gamesa turbine — the most powerful within ScottishPower and Iberdrola's portfolios.
