Israel lacks roughly 12,000 acres to meet its 30 percent share of renewable energy goal by 2030.But what if land wasn’t a limiting factor for solar energy? What if we could harness the unused surfaces of our lakes and various types of water reservoirs instead? This is the concept behind floating photovoltaics (FPV), otherwise referred to as floating solar––PV modules mounted on buoyant platforms that float on sunlit bodies of water where surface conditions are calm. Xfloat’s system has buoyancy tanks arranged in a grid of connected vessels that control the rotation of the PV tracking tables in unison. https://nocamels.com/2022/05/xfloat-mekorot-solar-panels-energy-floating/
Green methanol is a low carbon liquid chemical and fuel produced from sustainable biomass, often called bio-methanol, or from captured CO2 & hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, referred to as e-methanol. It is a multipurpose liquid which is easier to store and handle than green hydrogen. It's been slow to get much traction, but is showing promising signs of renewed interest with LEGO and others looking at its use in their operations. https://www.reuters.com/article/renewables-plastic-lego-novo-nordisk-idAFL8N36N1YN
