Eco Wave Power Plans Expansion into African Renewable Energy Market
Eco Wave Power is exploring expansion into Africa by collaborating with Abundant Clean Energy (ACE) to identify suitable wave energy sites across the continent. The move aligns with Eco Wave Power’s strategy to scale its onshore wave energy technology globally. The partnership aims to unlock Africa’s vast coastal energy potential using Eco Wave’s cost-efficient, modular systems. With access to ACE’s local expertise, Eco Wave hopes to fast-track feasibility assessments and regulatory approvals. The initiative supports efforts to bring clean, predictable energy to coastal communities and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Potential benefits include enhanced energy access, grid stability, local job creation, and diversification of Africa’s renewable energy mix, contributing to long-term sustainability and climate resilience.
Swiss Aviation to Trial Synhelion’s Solar-Based Synthetic Fuel
Switzerland is set to pioneer the use of Synhelion’s solar-based synthetic aviation fuel, marking a major milestone in clean aviation. The fuel is produced using concentrated solar heat to drive thermochemical reactions that convert CO₂ and water into syngas, which is then refined into sustainable jet fuel. Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) and the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation will conduct the world’s first flight using this solar fuel in 2024. This innovation supports net-zero aviation goals by offering a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil-based jet fuels. Benefits include significant emissions reduction, compatibility with existing aircraft infrastructure, and the advancement of scalable, renewable aviation technology that could reshape the future of air travel.
TCL Sunpower Global and Comet SpA Partner to Expand Solar Panel Distribution in Italy
TCL Sunpower Global has partnered with Italian electronics retailer Comet SpA to distribute TCL-branded solar panels across Italy. The collaboration aims to make solar energy solutions more accessible to Italian homeowners and businesses through Comet’s extensive retail network. TCL will supply high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules, known for their efficiency and durability, while Comet provides market reach and local customer support. This strategic partnership supports Italy’s national renewable energy goals and growing residential solar adoption. It also emphasizes TCL’s commitment to international expansion in the clean energy sector. Benefits include improved solar availability, reduced emissions, and increased consumer access to affordable and reliable solar technologies throughout the Italian market.
