Statkraft and Grupo Enhol have announced plans to construct a hydrogen plant in Tudela, Navarra. This initiative represents a pivotal step in Spain’s transition towards more sustainable energy sources. As Europe grapples with energy shortages and the pressing need for green alternatives, projects like these gain critical attention. Currently, hydrogen accounts for a minor percentage of global energy consumption, merely about 2%. However, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts a substantial increase, with hydrogen projected to represent up to 13% of global energy use by 2050. This growth is fueled by advances in technology and the decreasing cost of renewable…

The aviation sector’s march towards sustainability is increasingly focused on the potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as a cornerstone of its decarbonization strategy. Statistically engaging is the forecast which posits that by 2050, the production of SAF will require an astounding 47 million tons of clean hydrogen. This represents nearly half of the current global hydrogen consumption, signaling a dramatic shift in resource allocation and usage patterns. Yet, a significant tension exists between the ideal and the current trajectory: despite incentives from governments, such as the 45Z tax credit in the United States and the ReFuelEU Aviation quotas in…

A recent report by RenewableUK has thrust a crucial issue into the spotlight: the integration of energy storage and green hydrogen projects alongside offshore wind farms.

Legislation concerning small modular reactors (SMRs) recently underwent a first committee hearing, highlighting the critical discourse surrounding nuclear energy’s evolving role in meeting modern energy needs.

Alkeymia’s leap into the realm of sustainable energy is encapsulated in its investment of €200 million into a green methanol plant in Fabara. The company plans to commence construction later this year, marking a significant step in the reduction of carbon emissions—a priority echoed by energy experts globally. As the need for eco-friendly alternatives becomes more prevalent, Alkeymia’s project reflects a growing trend in the industry towards renewable resources. The green methanol plant aims to utilize cutting-edge technology to minimize environmental impact, targeting a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that aligns with the European Union’s sustainability goals. It’s a strategic…

Energy storage systems (ESS) in smart grids represent a growing sector with profound potential. According to industry reports, the global energy storage market was valued at $11 billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass $58 billion by 2025.
