Keeping phone calls and data packages whirring around the world requires huge amounts of energy. It is no wonder, then, that the telecoms sector — with its vast underground cable networks and its data centres storing troves of information — accounts for between 1 and 2 per cent of all energy consumed globally, according to industry estimates.

Bumblebees buzz from flower to flower, stopping for a moment under a clear blue Minnesota sky. Birds chirp, and tall grasses blow in the breeze. This isn't a scene from a pristine nature preserve or national park. It is nestled between photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays on rehabilitated farmland. Researchers at the U.Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory wanted to understand the ecological value of PV solar energy sites planted with native grasses and wildflowers.

Oil prices are set for a second consecutive weekly gain but the upside remains limited due to continued economic concerns. Oil prices are set to end the week with a slight gain after the market eventually priced in Saudi Arabia's production cut extension into August as well as another steeper-than-expected US crude inventory drop, pushing ICE Brent closer to the $77 per barrel mark.

At the moment, green hydrogen is the second-most expensive by a small margin, ranging between $2.28 and $7.39 per kilogram depending on available resources. (Used in a fuel cell to power an electric motor, one kilogram of hydrogen is roughly equivalent to a gallon of diesel.) It would need to be $1 per kilogram to achieve price parity with cheaper—and dirtier—hydrogen options.
