They have the clout and financial might of the energy behemoths that plumbed the world over for oil and gas before them. But instead of digging mines and drilling wells, they’re leading the race to electrify the global economy. These four companies—Enel, Iberdrola, NextEra Energy and Orsted—prioritized the building or buying of clean-power plants when those assets were still considered alternative and expensive. Now they’re on the cusp of a breakthrough. Ever-cheaper solar panels and wind turbines are beginning to dominate new power installations, threatening the growth of natural gas on our power grids and upending energy markets. Electrifying the Global Economy. First Electric Only Car-Charging Station Opens in the U.K.

The first all-electric auto service station will open in Britain on Monday as drivers increasingly avoid cars fueled by gasoline and diesel.

It’s another sign the energy and transport industries are gearing up to deal with as many as 30 million electric vehicles on the road by 2040. Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to phase out traditional engines in cars from 2030 and set the most agressive target in the Group of 20 nations for slashing greenhouse-gas emissions. Explore dynamic updates of the earth’s key data points The station in Essex, southeast England, is the first of 100 electric facilities that Gridserve and Hitachi Capital U.K. Plc. are planning and is part of a 1 billion-pound ($1.35 billion) program to roll out the stations across the country. Sales of battery-powered electric vehicles in the U.K. rose 122% last month from a year ago, while hybrids were up 77%, according to industry data published on Friday.

If you follow energy transition conversations, you may have noticed that hydrogen is having a bit of a moment.

What’s the Role of Hydrogen in the Clean Energy Transition?

From technical assessments to roadmaps, pilot projects to public-private partnerships, the topic is suddenly seemingly everywhere, rapidly assuming the mantle of deep decarbonization darling du jour. The excitement is for good reason. Hydrogen has significant, sector-spanning potential, a carbon-free fuel that can be used in all sorts of otherwise-hard-to-decarbonize applications where fossil fuels have long been considered required. Truly, potential abounds. But, as ever, there’s a catch. First, precisely because of the many and varied ways in which it can be deployed, hydrogen also affords easy cover to intransigent fossil fuel interests who are increasingly waving away objections to near-term natural gas investments with vague nods toward improbable—if not outright impossible—future transitions to hydrogen replacements.

Solar Power is Evolving as an Altnerative Energy Source. As the globe warms and the climate changes, people from all over the world are seeking alternative energy solutions to prevent both of those problems from getting worse.

Solar Power is Evolving as an Altnerative Energy Source

The emissions from fossil fuels like gas and coal are a big contributor to the planet’s environmental problems, which is why energy that does not produce any harmful byproducts is so desirable to so many. The consequences of oil are terrifying. According to Stanford University, around 5% of the total global footprint can be traced to 9,000 oil fields around the world.

Fortunately, new alternative energy sources are helping address this concern. Solar Energy Can Offset the Carbon Footprint of Oil Production There are many different suggestions, but solar energy is always one of the most popular ones. Almost anyone can install a solar panel onto their home or business to help reduce their energy consumption from the power grid. Those game changers make solar technology even more practical.
