Against the backdrop of the ongoing debate and conflicting data surrounding various aspects of #energytransition, the overarching trend towards new and sustainable energy system continues to gain momentum. It's important to remember that different sectors and regions are undergoing their own #energytransitions, each with its own timelines, ambitions, policy support, and economic factors at play. And it has been clear that we will need a broad and diverse set of solutions – and perhaps even all of them – not only to address the #energytransition but also to meet the growing global #energydemand. Just few topics where differing perspectives shape the discussion: 🌬️☀️ #Renewables and #Intermittency : While renewable energy adoption continues to rise, concerns regarding #solar and #wind intermittency persist, with one side of the argument is that it hampers #gridstability, while others highlight advancements in #storage and #gridmanagement solutions addressing these challenges. 🌽 🍴 #Biofuels: The debate over the sustainability and environmental impact of #biofuels has increased, with conflicting studies assessing their carbon footprint and land use implications. ☢️ #Nuclearpower: Despite recent resurgence in conversations about #nuclearpower, it remains a divisive topic, with proponents highlighting its #lowcarbon base load power, while opponents raise concerns about safety, waste disposal, and the potential for proliferation. 💧 #Hydrogen: Conflicting viewpoints surround the potential of #hydrogen as a #cleanenergy solution at scale, with debates over its production methods, cost-effectiveness, and infrastructure requirements. 🏭 #CarbonCapture: #CCUS scalability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term environmental impacts continue to be debated.

Hydrogen is a big talking point across the energy landscape worldwide as it can be key in achieving net zero. A clean alternative to methane, it's the most abundant chemical element and can be used to power vehicles, generate electricity, power industry and heat homes and businesses. In turn, #hydrogen makes a significant difference to carbon emission output and is critical to achieving net zero. It's a particularly big topic of discussion in the US right now following the EPA's decision to remove it from its recent guidance on renewable energy alternatives.

Renewable #energy sources are practically infinite. And their share of power generation worldwide is only increasing—set to rise from 29% to 35% by 2025 (IEA). However, rare earth elements like neodymium and praseodymium used in wind turbine technologies, metals used in photovoltaics, and high-density batteries are all non-renewable sources that can face supply bottlenecks in the future. As the world transitions to clean energy, let's be mindful of the finiteness of the resources that go into producing #renewable energy.

𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝑯𝒚𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏 : 𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 Blue hydrogen, produced through steam methane reforming with #carboncapture and storage, provides a viable solution for reducing #greenhousegas #emissions compared to traditional methods.

Did you know hydrogen is often classified by colors, revealing its environmental impact? Let's break it down: 🟢 Green H₂: The cleanest of them all! It is produced through electrolysis using renewable energies like wind, solar, or hydropower. While completely CO₂-free, it comes at a cost due to its energy-intensive process. ⚪ Grey H₂: The most common, made from natural gas. Unfortunately, it releases carbon dioxide, but it's more affordable. Economical but not environmentally friendly. 🔵 Blue H₂: A transformed grey! If CO₂ emissions are captured during production, it becomes blue hydrogen. It costs a bit more but is a step toward cleaner energy. 🟣 Turquoise H₂: The newcomer! Created using both renewable and non-renewable resources, this pyrolysis technology aims to minimize carbon emissions. It is still in its early stages but promises a greener future. Discover more insights on the barriers and policies inhibiting green hydrogen uptake in the latest report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). This resource outlines obstacles and suggests policies to address them, providing a roadmap to kickstart the green hydrogen sector as a vital enabler of the energy transition at the national or regional level.

New Working Paper: How do #Hydrogen producers benefit from having access to a diverse #Renewable generation #Portfolio under temporal matching requirements? We, Nieves Casas Ferrús, Reinhard Madlener, and me, show that if (and only if) temporal matching is required, market participants with more diverse portfolios can produce green hydrogen more cheaply than those with less diverse portfolios. Technological diversification, i.e., a combination of wind and solar, at one location brings the greatest portfolio effects (approx. 39%). Regional diversification yields 3-7% for 2 locations and up to 14-21% for a Germany-wide aggregation. We draw the following conclusions: 1. H2 producers should diversify their renewable generation portfolio under strict temporal matching requirements. 2. H2 policymakers should consider possible discrimination against small H2 producers (without access to diverse portfolios) when regulating temporal matching. 3. H2 modelers should make the omission or overestimation of portfolio effects transparent when investigating individual locations or entire regions. Enjoy reading and we are looking forward to your comments & questions ⚡ Link to full paper: https://lnkd.in/eFrfaaj2

2.26 megatons. That is the CO2eq emission that can be avoided by #FlagshipONE - Liquid Wind's first developed project, sold to energy group Ørsted in 2022. The #electrofuel facility will produce 50,000 tons of #eMethanol on an annual basis. The positive impact of this project is substantial, as it replaces 24.3 thousand tons of #fossilfuel, thereby avoiding the release of 90.4 thousand tons of CO2eq annually. Over the projected lifespan of at least 25 years, this amounts to a reduction of 2.26 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalents. This significant achievement demonstrates��FlagshipONE’s ability to contribute to the mitigation of #climatechange and a more #sustainable future. Find out more about Liquid Wind's #efuel facility project developments here 👉 https://lnkd.in/emPGc-wv

Driving Cultural Integration & Talent Acquisition in Legal Industry
3moSerge, is there any truth to the prediction that West Texas, a region historically rich in fossil fuels, could be among the first to fully transition to renewable energy? Considering its unique combination of excellent solar and wind energy potential and its proximity to major metropolitan areas, how likely is it that intermittency issues will not significantly hinder this shift? I suspect the most significant challenge might be securing financing for the necessary infrastructure, as these costs are incurred upfront. What are your thoughts on this and policies to encourage investment in general?
