A 100 percent clean energy power grid is tantalizingly close in California. A new Bloomberg report published this week said the state came closer than ever to its goal of having a carbon-free grid within 25 years and that it ran off more than 97 percent renewable energy for a short period of time earlier in April.

Proton Motor`s HyShip system honoured as winning solution!

From submissions from numerous very competent companies with many years of experience in shipbuilding and beyond, the jurors of the Innovation Challenge have selected four submissions for in-depth market discussions in addition to Proton Motor. The innovation dialogue on the next qualification stage with those responsible for the project will take place on 21 April.

Friday, the Swedish company — which is owned by Germany’s Volkswagen — announced it would develop “an initial 20 fuel-cell electric trucks” with US-based fuel-cell and electrolyser manufacturer Cummins as part of the Air Liquide-led HyTrucks project, which aims to put 1,000 hydrogen trucks on the roads in Belgium, the Netherlands and western Germany by 2025, along with the required refuelling infrastructure.

"the Ministry of Defence has not scrapped any of its 21 similarly Rolls-Royce-powered old nuclear submarines, berthed for up to 40 years. It has made a start dismantling the hull of one, but there are still no plans for dealing with the reactors beyond burying them. Indeed, no country in the world has properly made safe a worn out mini-nuke-powered ship or submarine"

"If the government is considering investment in long-term non-fossil energy projects like nuclear, why does its strategy make no mention of tidal power?

The National Nuclear Laboratory has speculated an SMR strike price that might exceed £80/MWh. This value mirrors cost modelling that shows SMRs are not significantly cheaper in terms of capital cost per power output generated than current gigawatt-scale reactors.
Diverting hundreds of millions of pounds in SMR development costs away from tried and tested low-carbon generators that can be brought on-line in a fraction of the time and at much lower cost to the consumer is not the correct course of action.

Since the war started, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has given a £1.4 billion emergency loan, while the World Bank has provided a $723 million financial package that includes $589 million in loans. These new loans are being piled on top of Ukraine’s already unsustainable debts.

Perth-based SSE said it will install a green hydrogen electrolyser at the Gordonbush windfarm in Sutherland in a move it expects will support the drive to decarbonise sectors such as manufacturing and power generation.

It plans to use electrolyser technology supplied by Siemens Gamesa...
