The slip in the July-September quarter leaves clean energy investment for the year so far running a modest 2% below that in the first nine months of 2017—leaving open the possibility that 2018 as a whole will end up matching last year’s total, particularly if a few more multibillion-dollar offshore wind deals are concluded before Christmas.

Philippsburg, an old fortress town in Germany just forty kilometers from the French border, once hosted a nuclear power plant with two towers just like them. This row over green finance obscures an unfortunate reality: it’s uncertain how the power once generated by fission will be made up if plants go offline.

In the first stage of the project, the proposed facility will use Haldor Topsoe’s proprietary solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) ( earlier post ) to produce green hydrogen from 100 MW of renewable electricity. The hydrogen will be further processed into 300 ton/day of green ammonia , also using Topsoe technology.

In New Zealand’s fight against climate change, e-mobility is a low-hanging fruit, especially given our supply of renewable energy. . As we renew the fleet, we also have the opportunity to think more carefully about safety, and the sort of vehicles we import into New Zealand. We also don’t need to ‘reinvent the wheel’.
