Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

The report goes on to model the impact of this on a global electricity system increasingly penetrated by low-cost wind and solar. In the near term, renewables-plus-storage, especially solar-plus-storage, has become a major driver for battery build. —Logan Goldie-Scot, head of energy storage at BNEF.

It can also provide lowest-cost long-term storage for electrical grids relying on renewable energy. Fluor, a global engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance company, which has best-in-class experience in building hydrogen-from-gasification plants, will provide front-end engineering and design for the Lancaster facility.

Although they are targeting an initial implementation France, they see it as broadly applicable. The hydrogen is combined with CO 2 to produce methane, which is pumped into and stored in the existing natural gas grid and used like natural gas for use in power generation, transportation, or other thermal and industrial uses.

Following somewhat in Messmer's footsteps, French president Emmanuel Macron announced a plan earlier this month to build at least six new reactors to help the country decarbonize by 2050. At first glance, there’s little life to be found in the nuclear sectors of France’s neighbors. France, naturally, backed nuclear power’s green-ness.
