And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. The 124-megawatt solar plant adjacent to Korea Zinc’s Townsville refinery, completed in 2018, cut a quarter of the coal-heavy grid power it had been using to run its power-intensive electrolytic process. Why a hydrogen truck?

Under a more “ideal” scenario, the association sees China’s new energy storage capacity installations rising 19% year-on-year to 41.2GW, the white paper found. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.

The largest growth took place in China, which commissioned as much solar in 2023 as the entire world did in 2022, while China’s wind power additions rose by 66% year-over-year. The increases in renewable energy capacity in the US, Europe, and Brazil also hit all-time highs. Get started here. –ad*

The report, “ Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 ”, concludes that biomass, hydropower, geothermal and onshore wind are all competitive with or cheaper than coal, oil and gas-fired power stations, even without financial support and despite falling oil prices. Report highlights include: Cape Wind’s troubles. Source: IRENA.

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix.

Starting around the middle of 2024, the Shetlands—and also part of mainland Scotland—will be powered by the 443-megawatt Viking wind farm , consisting of 103 wind turbines on the main island of Shetland. According to Plet, wind energy is driving an acceleration of HVDC installations in Europe.

The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. Today, new plants in Europe are already planned with a CO2-neutral energy supply from the start.

Higher emissions were caused mainly by increasing road transport, both passenger and freight, and slightly colder winter conditions in Europe, compared to 2014, leading to higher demand for heating. In fact, ETS emissions for stationary installations decreased by 0.7%, whereas emissions from the non-trading sectors increased by 1.4%

The UK has been a leader in deploying on and offshore wind turbines. 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. At the time of writing, mid-morning 21 Sept, we have: Wind 9%. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%. See [link].

And in Europe, a looming fossil-fuel crisis has sent officials scrambling to find alternatives to the 155 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas that EU countries imported in 2021.

About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.

An embryonic movement is growing in Europe to build “smart cities&# that will challenge the status quo. The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. “There’s a relationship of trust already.
