1. Clean Energy - 158 mentions

There are some widely dissucssion topics such as Europe's best clean energy innovations, China's commitment to expanding renewables capacity and India's plan to build world's biggest renewable energy project.

One of the innovation and highliting the best greene energy innovations is the transformation of the abandoned area near the defunct Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine into a solar farm for producing clean energy. Similarly, France constructed the largest floating solar farm in the continent which can electrify around 5000 homes. Another one is the Danish government's mandate for wind farms in the country to be partly owned by local residents. Further, sorlar stocks in China surging on the back of President Xi Jinping's announcement about the nation's commitment to become carbon neutral by 2060.

2. Sustainability - 78 mentions

Amazon invested in solar and wind projects and Illlinois Power Agency's solar and funded drying up some extensively discussed topics in the previous month. E-commerce company Amazon investing in 26 utility-scale wind and solar projects throughout the world. They expect to invest about $2bn for supporting low carbon technologies, in line with global climate goals and aims to become carbon neutral by 2040. Jeff Bezos Amazon founder announced that the retail giant is on the path to become 100% renewable energy dependent by 2025. 

Sustainablity trended in the previous year, all the funds of the widely accepted community solar programme now officially exhausted. Solar power developers are pinning their hopes to pass a law for financing the adjustable block programme which is to dispense federal government's solar renewable power credits to the state's solar incentive plans.

3. Storage - 65 menetions

It was some popular toptics disscussed last month that reusing old coal plants as solar storage plants, world's biggest solar and energy storage project in California. By director Global Strategy at The Sunrise project, an energy transition initiative, developed countries are repurposing unused coal plants into solar and battery storage projects rather than decommissioning them. 

Australia, US, Germany and Canada which have substantial coal capacities are reusing ol plants as wind farms, solar plants, and energy storage plants. India, South Africa and Chile which is the developing countries take a leaf out the developed nations' book and reuse the old coal plants for the same purposes. They are witnessing a rapid transition to renewable energy. 

Other discussions surrounding storage included renewable energy company and services provider sighning an agreement to start the world's biggest solar and energy storage project in California.

4. Photovoltaic - 52 mentions

Photovolataic(PV) tender and Oxford PV's cell creating new conversion record were broadly discussed topics in December 2020. Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy choosing 11 bidders for the final phase of tender for a solar plant in Sherabad in Sukhandarya region. 

A spin-off firm from Oxford University, setting a new record as its perovskite solar cell achieved a conversion rate of 29.5% of solar power into electricity. The average conversion rate of silicon cells is in the range of 15% to 20% and a practical maximum conversion rate is about 26%. Oxford PV is planning to become the first company to release next generation solar cells into the market next year.

5. Batteries - 35 mentions

Californian power supplier signing utility-scale battery contracts and the Australian state of Victoria contributing funds for solar and battery storage plant were some trending topics last month. A renewable energy strategist and an electricity provider inked a huge round of utility-scale battery contracts. The new contracts follow SEC signing California's biggest energy storage project six months ago.

Another discussion related to batteries was shared by SOlarQuotes, about Victoria state providing financial support to a solar and battery storage project being constructed at Traralgon Neighbourhoood Learning House. 

 

In my opinion, trends shows where we are so that we can think about what we have to do. People are getting more used to thinking what's important in industries for the environmental issues. We all have been comfortable with new energy, however, it is coming to change again how to save our all lives. 

 

Not only is Energy saving our lives, but it also makes us improve our abilities to get into the better future. Those 5 mentions tell us how much we have been through industries, businesses such as our footprint in the world wide. I believe that people in the world have been thinking more serious about crisis and it is not only the problem in some IT/Energy businesses. We all make differences together to see the green earth in the early future.
