The North African country Morocco is positioning itself to become the leading country on the African continent for the deployment of renewable energy. Against a backdrop of new solar and wind projects, the country has increased its renewable energy target to 52% by 2030, 70% by 2040 and 80% by 2050. GW during last year.

Devices known as optical rectennas show considerable promise for renewable energy because they can harvest energy from heat and convert it into electricity. More ambitiously, the researchers say that it might, in principle, be possible to capture the energy radiating from Earth itself using rectennas mounted on airships.
