What''s cool in green tech: Ivanpah

The Ivanpah plant is now the world''s largest thermal solar facility. The massive system consists of three power plants that generate thermal heat from heliostat mirrors, which is different than other solar plants that use photovoltaic technology to generate solar electricity.

SCENARIO: 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY IN COSTA RICA

Costa Rica''s abundant renewable energy resources can supply all required energy across all sectors, including the increased electricity demand for electric vehicles. Only 6% of Costa Rica''s solar power potential (approx. 196 GW) and 25% of its wind power potential (approx. 15 GW) would su˜ce to achieve 100%RE. Both energy resources are
