Researchers at Stanford, with colleagues at University College Cork in Ireland, have shown how to increase the power of corrosion-resistant solar cells, setting a record for solar energy output under water. Instead of pumping electricity into the grid, the power these cells produce would be used in the production of solar fuels.

This stretch, called Iris, will link Iceland to Ireland. As a bonus, the tech onboard the balloons runs on solar power. The transmission line will sidestep the growing difficulties of connecting renewable-energy sources to the power grid. But now, Électricité de France (EDF) says they are in the final stretch.

The HYREADY joint industry project (JIP), led by DNV GL, intends to encourage the industry to “Be ready for Hydrogen” by developing practical processes and procedures for the introduction of hydrogen to the grid. There is a great deal of industry interest in the maximum percentage of hydrogen that can be added to natural gas.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

Johnson signed a bill at the end of 2020 that would ban the sale of cars that run entirely on internal combustion engines from 2030. Under the new law, all new homes built in the UK will require at least one “smart” charger, which must be able to switch on during off-peak hours when demand on the UK grid is lowest.

The Climate Change Commission has recommended setting a time limit on light vehicles with internal combustion engines entering, being manufactured, or assembled in Aotearoa as early as 2030. Slovenia, Iceland, the Netherlands, Ireland, India, Denmark, Sweden, Israel, Germany and the United Kingdom all have 2030 deadlines.

There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. And in many places, such as North America’s deep Pacific coast, the strongest and steadiest wind blows in the evening, which would perfectly complement solar energy’s daytime peaks.
