A new online platform, aiming to facilitate renewables technical knowledge exchange, has been launched today.
Wiki-Cleantech is a free and collaborative knowledge online platform designed to gather all renewable energy scientific and technology information in one easily searchable place. It includes technical papers and presentations on wind, solar, biomass and other clean energy technologies, contributed by the industry and research communities.
Wiki-Cleantech was created to give the opportunity to clean energy industry engineers to make easier knowledge contributions. It offers to clean energy researchers an additional free mean to communicate their research with their industry peers. Obviously, it will also make it easier for all students around the world to access pre-existing research literature, thereby fostering clean energy research as a whole.
“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,” commented Wiki-Cleantech founder Jonathan Collings.
