At Herøya in Porsgrunn, Norway, Norhybrid has built a 12-metre vertical-axis wind turbine for on-site generation, designed to scale industrially and to last 20-plus years. Pilot in 2023. First batch sold out. First installations in the field. The product is built. The next job is different: sales and delivery at volume. That is why the company is moving into a new phase, a new CEO, a wider partner network, and hires to match. Holmen built the foundation. He stays on the board

Transporting diesel to the front costs lives. There are two drivers in a truck. The load is diesel. The road is known to the enemy, and predictable because it has to be. A convoy does not choose a new route every time. The convoy is driving towards a forward base that has no other power than what the diesel will be. Radar, sensors, heat, lights, small electronics: everything is holding its breath until the truck arrives. If it is stopped, the base is stopped. That's the situa

Logistics giant ASCO wanted to do more than just talk about the green transition. They built their own hybrid system with wind and solar...

People have always talked a lot about the weather in Ireland and in the UK. But did you know wind has a special place – both in our hearts as well as in the general history of wind? CAN YOU FEEL IT? The answer is still blowing in the wind. Especially in the UK and Ireland. The weather forecast could probably have been a tad better in Marykirk, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, this summer's day in 1887. But for electrical engineer James Blyth it was just perfect. He was fooling aroun

It's invisible, but can change our brains. It's silent, but can play instruments. It's powerful – and can change your world. Get blown away by some of the untold stories of wind!

This sunny afternoon the British author takes a coffee-break while teaching a writing course in a remote area near Devon in England. Leaning aga

Many streams can make mighty rivers. Same goes for the wind. There is a surprising amount of energy in many small mills working together – 10 times as much, in fact, as traditional turbines on the same piece of land. There is lots of power in small things. Sometimes that is hard to forget. Oftentimes the bigger the better is the mantra. It does not have to be like that in the business of electricity. Certainly not when it comes to the electricity bills. Many are asking themse
