Carbon Dioxide Removal Incentives Are an Exercise in Economic Denial! | Energy Central
It’s the turn of those who believe in the fight against climate change to show and to prove that fighting climate change is possible, and that it can come with economic advantages and with a better quality of life.”
Hydrogen Logistics: Choosing the Right Carrier for a Net-Zero Future | Energy Central
Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can be stored and transported in various forms, including compressed gas, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Each form has distinct advantages and energy requirements for conversion, transport, and reconversion. While compressed and liquid hydrogen offer high purity, ammonia and LOHCs
Hydrogen Colour Spectrum and Green Hydrogen: A Comprehensive Overview | Energy Central
Hydrogen is categorized by a colour spectrum based on production methods and carbon impact, with green hydrogen produced via electrolysis using renewable energy. As a clean energy carrier, green hydrogen is vital for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and supporting renewable integration. However, scaling it up faces challenges like high costs, limited infrastructure, and
The Tong Test | Energy Central
It is agreed that “artificial general intelligence” will be a cybernetic tool with many human behaviors. But is the “human” more like Albert Einstein, or say, a “digital Chinese girl that looks to be about 3 to 4 years old.” Although the former will be a very powerful tool, the latter may be a more powerful tool that will help humans understand how we develop, learn and
Can Democratic Attorneys General Save the Environment from Trump 2.0? (Part 1) | Energy Central
When the dust of history finally settles on the Trump administration, it will be shown as one of the most litigated administrations in US history. Among the leaders of that litigation will be state attorneys general.
The Air We Breathe, Part 5 – Pullback | Energy Central
I had basically completed part 4 of this series for posting in May, and my home state (California) reversed course on several pending actions. This is because expected actions by the silly federal chief executive, who opposes any stricter air quality regulations (he must not need to breathe). My home state (California) has an interesting relationship with air. We have more
Energy Monopoly Adventure through the Game of Chance (2 of 4) | Energy Central
As an Energy Collective looking to work together to resolve today's problems, it comes apparent that data and access to data is imperative. We need to realize that many of our roadblocks are within. We know cyber security issues are only going to get worse. We also know that sharing of data can provide answers to the issues we have today. Many parties have their data locked in
Perovskite Solar: The Technology That’s Changing How We Power Small Devices | Energy Central
A new solar technology is emerging that doesn't require massive rooftops or sprawling solar farms to work effectively. It is perovskite solar cells, thin enough to slip into the devices you already own, efficient enough to keep them running, and cheap enough to make energy independence accessible to everyone. The material still faces challenges but research is overcoming
IF24 Auction | European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) | Energy Central
Unlike regular grants, auctions are market-based instruments for funding innovative low-carbon technologies under the Innovation Fund. The implementation of the Fund’s renewable hydrogen auctions is the domestic pillar of the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB), which establishes a financing and coordination platform to secure cost-efficient and renewable hydrogen across Europe.
Observation vs. Supposition - ‘If all the predictions fail… maybe your ideas are wrong’, Richard Lindzen | Energy Central
Most government environmental regulations are based on observations of atmospheric concentrations, exposure durations and adverse health effects. Specific sources of emissions of the pollutants in question are measured individually and the combined exposure levels calculated. Studies are conducted to determine the safe exposure to each pollutant as a function of concentration
Building the Grid of Tomorrow, Today | Energy Central
When we use the word sustainable as it relates to the power industry, several keys come to mind, keys that are not always understood or shared. For us, sustainability in the power industry is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the development and implementation of energy systems that are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible. At its core,
Aircraft Used to Fight US Wildfires | Energy Central
I’m not even sure how the subject of this paper came to me. I believe it was while I was going through and proofing papers that were scheduled for posting within the then-future couple of months. However, once it had occurred, pretty quickly I realized how important it was. Although I do write about most forms of mobility, these articles mostly have to do with how to move away
Does AI Have Any Responsibility to Walk Its Energy Talk? | Energy Central
Do we humans have the wit of “Artificial” intelligence to implement a thermodynamically elegant solution that cools the planet by moving heat to the deep ocean, powers civilization with clean, renewable energy, and allows CO₂ levels to drop naturally?
Eclipse of the Forgotten: "The Resurgent Legacy of the Blackout Bestiary – Part II | Energy Central
Part 2 explores the mystery fueled by viral momentum and audience demand. We compare two case studies: the Nord Stream pipeline explosions and the Enigmatic Bestiary of the Blackout. Hypothesis 1: If the Nord Stream blasts in September 2022 are seen as a test of Europe’s dependence on Russian gas rather than isolated sabotage, then the various narratives—ranging from Kremlin
ZeroAvia to Build Manufacturing Hub for Production of Its Hydrogen-electric Powertrains in Scotland | Energy Central
ZeroAvia announced( 21 May, 2025) that it will build a major manufacturing facility for production of its hydrogen-electric powertrains… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgnnzr34dqo Hydrogen Aviation
Current Climate | Energy Central
This post is about the title status. I found a really good reference that will help me describe this (Reference 1 in this paper), but that is not what prompted this post instead was a very long book that I attempted to read. The book is also a very strange, because of the fatalistic content and otherwise strange wording. I finally gave up on the book (too many hysterical
France’s New Hydrogen Mandate: What the 1.5% Transport Fuel Rule Means | Energy Central
France just upped the ante on hydrogen fuel policy! A proposed 1.5% mandate for green hydrogen in transport fuels by 2030 would exceed the EU’s 1% RED III target — with strict fines for non-compliance. From shifting incentives to obligations, France is sending a bold signal to fuel suppliers, hydrogen producers, and clean tech investors. Read latest blog breaking it all down —
Harnessing the Deep Sea: Fraunhofer’s StEnSea Project Revolutionizes Renewable Energy Storage | Energy Central
As the world races toward a sustainable energy future, one of the biggest challenges remains: how to store renewable energy efficiently and at scale. Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute has unveiled an innovative solution that taps into the power of the deep sea to store electricity - the StEnSea (Stored Energy in the Sea) project. This cutting-edge technology could transform the
Energy's Role in National Security | Energy Central
National security in the US hinges on a robust and resilient energy ecosystem that relies on domestic and indigenous resources like renewable energy to complement fossil fuels that can withstand future and geopolitical uncertainties. And a diverse mix of non-polluting energy resources coupled with innovations in fossil energy production contributing to a more climate friendly
