All good work McBF. Do you know there was a time , maybe 15 years ago when wind power was ridiculed for being inefficient and too expensive ( by experts??). I don’t think Prof Cebon was involved but sounds right up his street. It seems like a similar situation to me now although in a way the opportunity for ITM has even bigger numbers attached to it. Personally I bought Vestas shares near their lowest ever point..... enough said.
I should have said those revenues were based upon the turbine turning for 50% of the year. So the final revenues would be up by 7%...
Hello Lfclfc5,
I'm no investment expert either.
That's some lovely insight into the financial architecture of the current network; thanks. So the nub seems to be to reduce long distance transmission and/or levies involved. I think this bodes well regarding the cellular adaptability of the future network as Satellite pro mentioned in the previous pages.
A recent study into further offshore wind utilisation found that the wind blew, over a period of years, 57% of the time. As you know, apart from peak demand hours, the turbine's energy goes to waste. My model electrolysed round trip efficiency of 33% in the scenario proposing a per MWh price of £50.
Essentially..
10MWh @ 30% Green H2 overall efficiency = £4,855,000 accrued over turbine life
100 * £4,855,000 = £485,500,00 accrued per GW of now utilised turbine energy over 30 years.
£485,500, 000* 50GW = extra £24,275,000,000 revenues over 30yrs.
This figure includes the installation costs of the electrolysers (£5,000,000 per 10MW) , excludes inflation, loan interest and, as far as I’m aware; excludes the required storage and distribution capacity cost for the gas. Nonetheless the revenue savings/ profits for this utilisation will probably be in the tens of billions at least.
There has also been in the last couple of days an oral session for the parliamentary Science & Technology Committee which can be downloaded. It will be useful to watch that and gauge the state of debate between blue and green ideologies.
I've put a little summary of the main points in the pages prior if need be but it is not a complete synopsis as it does not contain any information after the witness swap; which were high CO2 polluting industrial rep's like the cement and chemical industries.
Furthermore, they are accepting written responses; I think someone like yourself with transmission/ distribution experience would have some very useful insight and potential advice regarding the future h2 financial architecture. IMO there are the dots of a future workable framework developing. Even the blue h2 rep stated that green is the ultimate goal.
Agree kontiki, although blockchain has its uses.

Dead cat bounce?
Hi Boaty...im a novice re shares and Investments and energy on the tech side really but I have worked in energy since 1984 including Middle level at Scottish Power.
The problem normally is not identifying energy generation costs by energy type etc. A typical half hourly bill now consists of 39% electricity costs and the balance is system charges, distribution and transmission and levies. Do 61% are 'off ' costs. Then the forthcoming transmission charge review will hike things further even at domestic level.
I think yes that fuel type specific generation costs are important and we know green H will get cheaper to produce in time but it is eliminating the 61% that has major advantages.
To me the answer lies in plenty of 'use it where you make it' solutions. Going back just before I was born...ish....water wheels powered the attached mill stone to sort the wheat.
If solar farms or spare wind was converted , stored and then used near generation there are even greater benefits in eliminating network costs and levies in the early days.
This certainly works short term. Long term I think converting the whole gas network to Hydrogen or a mix is going to happen too.
This may be floored but I'm not sure people realise the current crazy percentages. Also , as an energy consultant with larger energy intensive customers, most of it goes out the window as similar to MMs on shares, the same speculators drive energy. It's usually more speculation driven than genuine energy cost changes. Hth or is at least interesting.
Omg tanker stuck in canal......boom . Already over hiked oil price takes off lol. Oh it just did !

I think you get the point. A universal metric method would certainly help here. This is a link to the article. The actual study link is within that.

Hydrogen fuels a revolution in Chinese trucking.
https://asiatimes.com/2021/03/hydrogen-fuels-a-revolution-in-chinese-trucking/
Its interesting to see many threads here reporting various announcements around Hydrogen energy applications. And yet the SP continues to drop. This confirms my view that the music has changed here. Its no longer about being visionary about Hyrodgen's future for clean carbon free power, its about what the hard nosed tough stuff around what the price of it should be. Plenty of good news coming out these days, and no doubt more to follow. But rather than pushing up the share price, its just not quite holding it steady and dropping. What do others think ?
