The arrival of cheap battery storage will mean that it becomes increasingly possible to finesse the delivery of electricity from wind and solar, so that these technologies can help meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. Coal emerges as the biggest loser in the long run. BNEF sees $1.3

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

Renewable hydrogen can be made by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity generated by cheap wind or solar power. However, cost efficient large-scale options do exist and could be used to supply industrial customers with the clean gas. Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu). —Kobad Bhavnagri. ,”.

What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. We have closed most of the coal plants and several the aging nuclear plants are moving offline as they close for repair of reach end of life. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%. See [link]. No Storage.

As an alternative, electricity demand can be partially managed by modulating the charging rate of PEVs—for example, following variations in wind supply. At these times other load is likely to be low, and coal plants would likely need to be cycled, adding costs and emissions that could be saved with smart charging of PEVs.
