Nuclear energy, an option for Vietnam in the long run: experts
Clean and reliable nuclear energy could help Vietnam meet its growing power demand over the long term and ensure its development is not derailed, experts say. Prof Sheldon Landsberger of the University of Texas at Austin, the U.S., an expert in nuclear and radiation engineering, said: “With a population of nearly 100 million people, Vietnam […]
Hong Lai Huat, CMEC to co-develop 200-MW solar project in Cambodia
April 26 (Renewables Now) – Real estate developer Hong Lai Huat Group Ltd (SGX:CTO) and China Machinery Engineering Corp (HKG:1829), or CMEC, have teamed up to realise a 200-MW solar project at the Aoral Eco-City in Cambodia.
Renewable increase cuts Vietnam coal burn in 1Q
An increase in hydro and renewable output in Vietnam cut the country’s coal burn on the year in the first quarter, despite an increase in overall power generation. Vietnam’s coal burn declined by 12pc on the year to 29.8TWh in January-March — a 1.6mn t drop to 11.2mn t of NAR 5,700 kcal/kg-equivalent coal burn […]
Growth of solar despite COVID-19 points to Southeast Asia’s green potential
Last month, Singapore completed one of the largest floating solar energy farms in the world, the latest in a series of solar initiatives in Southeast Asia that have gone ahead despite the impacts of the pandemic. Located in the Strait of Johor to the west of Singapore, the solar farm consists of more than 13,000 […]
Land-starved Singapore gets creative with solar in clean energy push
BANGKOK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Singapore is betting on floating solar farms and vertical panels to increase its clean-energy supplies and cut carbon emissions, a model that could work in other densely populated cities, urban experts said. With renewable energy options such as wind, hydro, nuclear and biomass ruled out, solar photovoltaic (PV) is the […]
Vietnam’s largest wind power plant goes into operation
Trung Nam, Vietnam’s largest wind farm, officially came into operation in Loi Hai and Bac Phong Communes, Thuan Bac District of South-Central Ninh Thuan Province. This Trungnam group project, combined with a 204 megawatt (MW) solar power plant, forms a unique complex of solar and wind energy farms in the nation and in Southeast Asia. […]
How Singapore’s solar power push, using floating farms and vertical panels, offers solutions to other cities
Singapore is betting on floating solar farms and vertical panels to increase its clean-energy supplies and cut carbon emissions, a model that could work in other densely populated cities, urban experts said. With renewable energy options such as wind, hydro, nuclear and biomass ruled out, solar photovoltaic (PV) is the most viable option for Singapore, […]
Singapore to use Floating Solar Farms as Land is Densely Populated
Singapore is giving a push towards sustainable energy, with floating solar farms. Being a densely populated country, they have limited land area. Innovative methods to meet the requirements in renewable energy production are much needed. The other sustainable energy production like wind, hydro, and biomass were ruled out as they need land. Furthermore, floating solar […]
