After growing by more than 2% in 2019, global gas use is set to fall by around 4% in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic reduces energy consumption across the global economies. The report shows that medium-term growth will come from increasing cost-competitiveness and increased global access to gas. Low-carbon gas.

Should green hydrogen not be available at affordable rates by the end of 2025, natural gas would be used to power the DRI furnace. Earlier post.)

In the depths of the 1970s oil crisis, French prime minister Pierre Messmer saw an opportunity to transform his country’s energy supply. Spain plans to start phasing out in 2027. So, incidentally, will natural gas, which the current German government actually favored.) After all, the cost of renewables continues to plummet.

SEAT, a member of the Volkswagen Group, continues to spearhead the introduction of compressed natural gas (CNG) technology, giving customers the widest choice of vehicles that are cleaner, more sustainable and offer even greater efficiency. Only a pure electric vehicle running on 100% renewable energy would offer a better overall outcome.

With wind and solar prices dropping, it can be easy to forget that two-thirds of the globe’s renewable energy comes from hydropower. They help stop floods and supply farms and families with water, but they’re not generating electricity—especially in developing countries. Most dams weren’t, in fact, actually built for hydropower.

Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. The heat can drive steam turbines or engines to generate electricity around the clock.
