Greener energy
Greener energy in transport, industry, and our electricity networks - plus all that goes with this
The green hydrogen investor dilemma
Is the growth potential more than just hype and can companies grow profitably? Focus: Green hydrogen, heavy industry, hard to decarbonise, steel, chemicals, fertiliser, ammonia
Electrifying industry with heat pumps
Electric heat pumps are a promising alternative for an efficient and emission-free supply of process heat at technically feasible temperatures, with potential to push the envelope up to over 200 degrees.
'Baseload' electricity from renewables
It used to be said that renewables cannot provide 24/7 electricity. This project in Australia says otherwise.
Thinking differently about EV charging
Shifting current EV charging from home to work, and night to day, could cut costs and help the grid.
How is Europe responding to the crisis?
Russia's invasion of Ukraine could accelerate the green transition. But only if Europe makes decisions for the long term
Interconnectors in Asia - boosting availability of hydropower
A new electricity interconnector between Singapore and Malaysia has been completed, doubling capacity to c. 1,000MW. It will be used for cross-border power trade importing up to 100MW of renewable hydropower from Lao PDR to Singapore.
China is going big in offshore wind
As Chinese turbine makers move out into international markets, what impact could this have on prices and profits? Focus: Renewables, offshore wind, China.
Energy Charter Treaty seen as incompatible with climate commitments
Reducing Oil and Gas usage could have some unintended consequences.
Turbine-free wind turbines for rooftops
It may not just be solar panels that we find on commercial building rooftops. Perhaps wind could find the perfect fit too.
Will Foxconn build your next EV?
The manufacturing process and model for EVs could differ materially from existing ICE-based vehicles.
Bringing locals to local projects with crowdfunding
Allowing locals to share in the economics of renewable energy projects and other initiatives could overcome NIMBYism. With the right support from investors, these sorts of programmes could prove more effective than national rollouts.
How fast could the battery storage market grow?
Global energy storage is projected to reach a cumulative 411 gigawatts (or 1,194 gigawatt-hours) by the end of 2030, according to the latest forecast from BNEF.
