New online renewables knowledge platform launched

Wiki-Cleantech is an online knowledge platform that includes scientific and technology information on renewables such as wave and tidal, wind, solar and other renewable energies.

Wiki-Cleantech was created to facilitate easier knowledge exchange between industry engineers and their industry peers , as well people interested in renewable energy.

The platform aims to ease the access to students around the world to pre-existing research literature, thereby fostering clean energy research as a whole.

Jonathan Collings, Wiki-Cleantech founder, said: “Wiki-Cleantech was founded with the realisation that a large part of the technical knowledge produced by renewable energy engineers and researchers was almost exclusively presented and shared at conferences, and were usually trapped in pdfs or sold on by the scientific journals. We believe that this information should be free and easy to share.”
