May 19, 2020 – Boulder, Colo. – A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the developing hydrogen economy and relevant infrastructure, including the current state of hydrogen distribution and storage. Momentum is building for a new era of the hydrogen economy, particularly as green hydrogen becomes more cost-effective and is looked to as a potential significant contributor for the decarbonization of the energy sector. Despite this, issues across the value chain must be addressed if hydrogen is to scale up and couple sectors together. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, the transportation and storage of hydrogen…
Siemens Gamesa has signed a bank guarantee line for up to €600m to cover the construction of components for Hornsea 2, the largest offshore wind farm to be announced to date. Located in the North Sea and owned by Danish utility company Ørsted, the farm will consist of 165 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines (1.4 GW), capable of producing enough clean energy to power 1.3 million UK households. BNP Paribas lead managed the deal, in which BBVA, Mizuho and Santander also participated. Siemens Gamesa’s commitment to sustainability extends to all areas of the company, including finance; as a result, its funding…
The technology group Wärtsilä and Vantaa Energy Ltd., a Finnish energy company, have signed an agreement on a joint concept feasibility study for a Power-to-Gas facility at Vantaa Energy’s waste-to-energy -plant in the city of Vantaa in the capital region. The co-development agreement was signed in May and is valid for 12 months. The Power-to-Gas facility would produce carbon-neutral synthetic biogas using carbon dioxide emissions and electricity generated at the waste-to-energy plant. The purpose of the joint study is to confirm the optimal size of the project, the cost of synthetic biogas for district heating, and to understand the boundary…
12 May 2020, London: The launch of a vital project that will investigate the role of a flexible energy system in achieving a net zero economy has been announced today by a new cross sector consortium. The project, led by the Carbon Trust and supported by Imperial College, will explore the potential for an integrated and flexible energy system to reduce the cost of reaching the UK’s net zero economy goal by 2050.

May 12, 2020 – Boulder, Colo. – A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the market for mobile electric vehicle (EV) chargers, providing global forecasts for portable chargers, charging vans, and temporary chargers, through 2030. As the EV population continues to grow and expand into new ownership cases and vehicle types, gaps and pain points with current stationary charging solutions are emerging. Mobile EV charging presents opportunities to improve the convenience of EV ownership and generate a new market for the off-take and reuse of EV batteries. For the EV charging industry, it also presents opportunities to provide new financial…
Madrid, Spain – 12 May 2020: The 700MW concentrating solar power (CSP) plant being built for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) by a consortium between DEWA and ACWA Power called NoorEnergy 1 is progressing with construction despite COVID-19 disruption, the owner’s engineer Worley has said today. Contractors from Spain, China, Belgium, Denmark and the US have rallied to minimise labour, schedule and budget disruption after bringing in measures to keep workers on-site safe and staff from home well-connected.
