In response to recent assertions that Africa must quadruple its investments in order to meet its energy and climate objectives, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has mapped out leading green transition pathways for the continent, yielding greater economic and social returns. These sustainable development routes, presented in the IEA’s newly-launched Africa Energy Outlook report – a full policymakers’ summary of findings to be exhibited live at this year’s MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power conference to west Africa’s top corporate and government authorities in aid of formulating a unified African narrative in advance of December’s 27th Conference of the Parties to…

Frontier Energy’s plans to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy sourced from the potential 500 MW Bristol Springs Solar project it is developing in Western Australia have received a significant boost after a study revealed that the cost of producing hydrogen could be as low as $2.85 per kilogram. The results of a prefeasibility study (PFS) on Frontier Energy’s proposed Bristol Springs Solar (BSS) project in Western Australia’s South West area indicate the development has the potential to be an early mover, low-cost green hydrogen producer. Frontier announced on Thursday that the PFS, which was undertaken by Perth-based consulting firm…

Engie Brasil Energia is negotiating partnerships to integrate green hydrogen production projects in the states of Ceará, Bahia and Paraná, aiming to position itself in the new market for the technology that is beginning to develop in Brazil. The studies of the French electric company involve projects for plants of the fuel produced from renewable electric energy with different capacities, ranging from 100 megawatts (MW), 150 MW, and 180 MW. “(They are) Several initiatives, some will evolve and some will not. We need to be very active in these partnerships,” Engie Brasil Energia CEO Eduardo Sattamini told Reuters. According to…

Following a round table with representatives of industry, energy companies and network operators, the CSU in the state parliament demanded clear legal requirements from the EU and the federal government for the expansion of hydrogen pipelines and regional distribution networks. “Green hydrogen is the lifeline of the future for industry and SMEs, Bavaria must therefore be connected to hydrogen pipelines from the north and south by 2030,” explained CSU Secretary General Martin Huber. Reliable framework conditions are needed for the necessary investments. In addition, international agreements on hydrogen production and supply are needed. For example, hydrogen produced with wind power…
