To triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030 while maintaining electricity security, energy storage needs to increase six-times. To facilitate the rapid uptake of new solar PV and wind, global ...

We need to understand carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCUS) better. To do so, this article looks at 10 methods and estimates how much CO2 each will take out of the atmosphere by 2050, and the ...

Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, a much more abundant and cheaper alternative to the standard Lithium-ion, are on the verge of commercialisation, explain Carlos Ruiz, Martina Lyons, Isaac Elizondo ...

In the IEA scenario where the world manages to reach net zero emissions by 2050, the average person born in the 1950s would emit 350 tonnes of CO 2 over their lifetime. Babies born in the 2020s would ...

From hydrogen transport to energy transport. Ammonia, liquid hydrogen and LOHC are suitable for hydrogen transport. However, other pathways like methanol, reduced iron/steel, and synthetic fuels have ...

Our electric future needs low-cost long-duration storage for grids. Per kWh, pumped hydropower is about $60, compressed air energy storage (CAES) costs from $150 to $300, and lithium-ion batteries ...

The development of medium and long-term commodity prices for hard coal, crude oil and CO 2 certificates from 2030 to 2060 is based on the assumptions of the current World Energy Outlook. These are ...

Anaerobic digesters are used to turn cow manure into useable methane fuel. But the raw cost of that gas is ten times the market price. On the plus side, emissions are being avoided. So how do you ...

Pathways will vary. The concluding remarks of COP28 highlighted the imperative to shift away from fossil fuels in energy systems, signalling the commencement of a pivotal phase. This underscores the ...

Aluminium-air (Al-air) batteries for cars are an innovative technology that automakers and policy-makers should take a close look at, say Helena Uhde and Veronika Spurná at ECECP.Although a battery, ...

Steve Holliday, CEO of National Grid, the company that operates the gas and power transmission networks in the UK and in the northeastern US, believes the idea of large coal-fired or nuclear power ...

This month the IEA published its annual flagship World Energy Outlook (WEO). Simon Göss at Energy Brainpool picks out his highlights.This year’s WEO has four scenarios, two of them new: an updated ...
