Países Bajos es el país elegido por el fabricante nortemaericano de coches eléctricos como set de pruebas para la conducción autónoma de sus vehículos.

Después de comparar tarifas eléctricas para viviendas pequeñas en Londres y en Madrid, se puede concluir que las diferencias en el precio mayorista eléctrico marcan una importante diferencia entre ambas.

Espera poder abastecer todas sus operaciones en Pilbara durante periodos de 24 horas sin combustibles fósiles a finales de 2027.

Tras consolidar su tecnología en siete buques, la empresa capitaneada por José Miguel Bermúdez acelera su despliegue global mediante una red de fabricación en España y China. Con una cartera de cincuenta velas para gigantes como Maersk, bound4blue optimiza el ahorro de combustible y alcanzó recientemente un hito técnico en Santander con la vela de succión más grande jamás instalada en un buque de carga.

Corporaciones y grandes empresas tecnológicas con enorme demanda energética representaron por primera vez aproximadamente la mitad de las compras de energía verde el año pasado.

Los centros de datos suelen distribuir energía a 48 voltios, mientras que los procesadores de las GPU requieren voltajes mucho más bajos, normalmente entre 1 y 5 voltios.

Es la red natural de defectos estructurales en estos materiales la que permite el transporte de carga a larga distancia necesario para una eficiente captación de energía fotovoltaica.

Es la primera vez que esta tecnología se utiliza a escala comercial y marca un hito en la instalación silenciosa en alta mar, según Ecowende.

Para resolver este problema es necesario abordar la producción, la demanda y la infraestructura de forma simultánea, en lugar de hacerlo de forma secuencial, dice la Agencia Alemana de la Energía.

La tregua temporal entre EEUU e Irán y la posible reapertura del Estrecho de Ormuz, que ha aliviado parte de la presión sobre su comportamiento al alza.
