Future Power Technology Issue 46

Plans for a tidal barrage generating power on the Severn estuary were dealt a further blow when the UK Government ruled out further development on the existing plans. We find out if this energy mega-project could still have a future.

With new research indicating that US water resources could support the growth of enough algae to produce 25 billion gallons of fuel a year, we ask why algae-based power production is still being overlooked. We also consider why the US represents the best conditions for new SMR installations.

Moreover, we find out more about the opening of NATO’s new Energy Security Centre and investigate Russia’s controversial floating nuclear power plant project.

Renewable power sources are key to the sustainability of the world’s long-term energy mix, but fossil fuels and other carbon-emitting elements are still present in the supply chain of renewable power technologies. We investigate how much this factor compromises ‘green’ power generation and how it can be addressed.

We also take a look at innovation in solar cells technology, explore South Africa’s geothermal potential and find out how the Sahara Forest Project in Qatar exploits abundant sea water to produce electricity and grow fresh crops.

Moreover, we explore the UK Government’s plans for the new Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant and ask if nuclear energy is the best way to energise the British economy, take a look at forecasts for the gensets market and profile the world’s biggest thermal power plants.
