EC JRC finds delivery of large amounts of green hydrogen over long distances could be cost-effective

Green Car Congress

Renewable hydrogen is an energy carrier produced from renewable sources such as wind and solar and can be used to replace fossil-based hydrogen for industrial processes or as alternative fuel in the transport sector, especially in heavy-duty and long-distance trucks, buses, ships and planes.

BloombergNEF: clean energy investment in developing nations slumps as financing in China slows; coal burn surges to record high

Green Car Congress

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock.

BNEF: global investment in energy transition hit $500B in 2020; $139B on EVs and infrastructure

Green Car Congress

billion in new renewable energy capacity in 2020, up 2% on the year, helped by the biggest-ever build-out of solar projects and a $50-billion surge for offshore wind. Falling capital costs enabled record volumes of both solar (132GW) and wind (73GW) to be installed on the basis of the modest increase in dollar investment.

BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

The cost of new-build onshore wind has risen 7% year on year, and fixed-axis solar has jumped 14%, according to the latest analysis by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). New-build onshore wind and solar projects are now around 40% lower than BNEF’s global benchmarks for new coal- and gas-fired power.

7 companies launch Green Hydrogen Catapult to increase green H2 production 50-fold over next 6 years

Green Car Congress

Green hydrogen is produced by using renewable energy (wind and solar) to power electrolysis that splits water into its constituent parts. Green ammonia, a derivative of green hydrogen, is also being tested to displace fossil fuels in thermal power generation, greatly decreasing the emissions intensity of existing energy infrastructure.
