Pension fund USS has invested £200 million to secure a 50% stake in solar energy developer Bruc Energy
The funding is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 10,269 tonnes a year
The European Investment Bank believes the hydrogen sector will play an important role in accelerating the energy transition
The funding will support the conversion of an old railway line into a route for electric buses connecting Coimbra with the municipalities of Lousã and Miranda do Corvo and the village of Serpins
The wind farms will have a total capacity of 125MW and will support the country’s renewable energy goals
The agreement will see green hydrogen being transported from a new project in Sines, Portugal to the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands
The new EV charging infrastructure will be located on high-capacity roads in the two countries
The Gridstack system will have a power capacity of 15MW and will enable an increased share of renewable energy while limiting the consumption of fossil fuels
Located off the coast of Portugal, Windfloat Atlantic has now been connected to the grid and is capable of supplying electricity to 60,000 homes a year
The initiative is estimated to help offset more than two million tonnes of carbon every year, the equivalent of taking 400,000 cars of the road
