He said Niue has already surpassed the United Nation''s global pact to protect 30 percent of its oceans biodiversity by 2030.
New fuel cell could help fix the renewable energy storage problem
If we want a shot at transitioning to renewable energy, we''ll need one crucial thing: technologies that can convert electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa. Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the equation. Another option is to store the energy by

Giant Underground ''Batteries'' Are Shaping the Future of Renewable
So for the grid of tomorrow to go 100% renewable, it needs to store a lot more energy. You''ve probably heard about giant lithium-ion batteries stockpiling that energy for later use.
How Energy Storage Works
The systems consist of two reservoirs at different elevations, and they store energy by pumping water into the upper reservoir when supply exceeds demand. When demand exceeds supply, the water is released into the lower reservoir by running downhill through turbines to generate electricity. By investing in renewable energy, we can directly

Niue''s much-anticipated renewable energy project is now underway with the implementation of the 2-day Inception Workshop for the AREAN Project. AREAN is the Accelerating Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Applications in
New project promises bright future for renewable energy in Niue
Known under the name "Accelerating Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Applications in Niue" (AREAN), the new project focuses on climate change mitigation. It aims to enable the
Christopher Luxon, Dalton Tagelagi announce $20m Niue energy
New Zealand plans to invest $20.5 million into a new, large-scale, renewable energy project in Niue, reducing the island nation''s reliance on diesel. The project will bring Niue''s renewable generation to 80 percent.
Christopher Luxon, Dalton Tagelagi announce $20m Niue energy
The project will bring Niue''s renewable generation to 80 percent. New Zealand will also commit $2 million to the Niue Ocean Wide Trust, which aims to develop a blue economy and ensure long-term ocean conservation and climate resilience.
Hydrogen Energy Storage: A New Solution To the Renewable Energy
Hydrogen gas has the largest energy content of any fuel, making it a very good ''vehicle'' for holding and distributing energy. With the ability to hold 120MJ/kg, a relatively small amount of hydrogen is needed to store significant amounts of energy. The stable chemistry of hydrogen also means you can store energy longer than any other medium.
New project promises bright future for renewable energy in Niue
Known under the name "Accelerating Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Applications in Niue" (AREAN), the new project focuses on climate change mitigation. It aims to enable the achievement of low carbon energy access, sustainable energy and green growth targets of Niue as stated in its Sustainable Energy Road Map (NiSERM).
Niue''s new Power Station soft launch marks significant step in energy
With the upcoming reintegration of the BESS and solar farms by December, Niue is poised to move closer to its goal of 80% renewable energy production by the end of 2025. The Ministry now has both old and new power stations available to ensure consistent energy delivery to all communities.
The Renewable-Energy Revolution Will Need Renewable Storage
Ideally, we''d pair renewable energy with renewable storage. We already have one kind of renewable energy storage: more than ninety per cent of the world''s energy-storage capacity is in
Niue: Energy Country Profile
Energy intensity – shown in the chart above – is one important metric to monitor whether countries are making progress in reducing emissions. The other key part of this equation is carbon intensity: the amount of CO 2 emitted per unit of energy. We can reduce emissions by (1) using less energy; and/or (2) using lower-carbon energy.
