In a ‘monumental shift’, EU coal and gas collapse as wind and solar ascend

Baua Electric

Photo: Hornsea Project Europe’s coal electricity generation tanked by 26% and gas by 15% in 2023, according to a new report from energy think tank Ember. What’s more, for the first time, wind power, which grew by 18%, surpassed gas, which only accounted for 17% of Europe’s electricity. compared to 2022. The takeaway?

DOE launches $8B program for clean hydrogen hubs across US

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) released a Notice of Intent (NOI) ( DE-FOA-0002768 ) to fund the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s (BIL) $8-billion program to develop regional clean hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs) across America. Can be developed into a national clean hydrogen network to facilitate a clean hydrogen economy.

MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. Currently, plants burning fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, fill in the gaps as peaker plants—a tendency that is likely to grow pari passu with VREs. Gençer and Drake D.

Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.

European Union adopts strategies for energy system integration and hydrogen; Clean Hydrogen Alliance

Green Car Congress

The two strategies present a new clean energy investment agenda, in line with the European Commission’s Next Generation EU recovery package and the European Green Deal. A network of one million electric vehicle charging points will be among the visible results, along with the expansion of solar and wind power. Hydrogen strategy.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations.
