Power to Gas: methanation of hydrogen - DNV KEMA. The intermittent character of sustainable energy technologies, such as solar and wind energy, affects the stability of the existing electricity infrastructure. As the installed capacity of intermittent energy sources increases, the need for flexibility in electricity accommodation and storage also increases. Interest has been expressed in the possible ways to use the gas infrastructure for electricity storage, in which Europe’s extended gas infrastructure would enable seasonal storage of electricity by the conversion of electricity into gas.

DNV GL acknowledges the value of the gas infrastructure to store excess electricity in times of high production and low demand. By conversion of electricity into hydrogen (by electrolysis), and subsequently into methane (by methanation), large amounts of energy can be stored in the natural gas infrastructure. Further research will be performed with an optimized reactor with multiple methanation reactors. Objectives Project coordinator Project details. WEF Reports - Green Investing 2013.

At a time when extreme weather events are coming with increasing frequency—and an increased price tag for clean-up—cash-strapped governments are seeking new solutions to build climate resilience. A new World Economic Forum Report offers some hope. The Green Investment Report: The Ways and Means to Unlock Private Finance for Green Growth finds that approximately US$ 34 billion in additional public funding is needed to stablize global temperatures at an acceptable level—less than the US$50 billion recently approved by the United States Congress for rebuilding resilience after Hurricane Sandy.

By increasing climate-related public funding from its current level of US$ 96 billion to around US$ 130 billion, it could mobilize private capital in the range of US$ 570 billion. This would address the US$ 700 billion in investment that the Report finds is required to put the world on a climate-resilient path towards green growth. Executive summary Executive Board Members. India: Forget the grid, community power is here - OurWorld 2.0. Just days after the historic blackout reminded us that centralized coal is the problem, not the solution to India’s energy woes, a new era of entrepreneurs marked the beginning of a truly revolutionary effort to deliver energy access.

The landmark deal that marked their arrival was of course lost amidst the coverage of the blackout and the continued death spiral the coal sector finds itself in. Nonetheless, the deal between OMC Power, and Bharti Infratel (India’s largest mobile phone provider) to provide clean renewable energy to its off grid cell phone towers was indeed historic. It marks the arrival of Community Power and it couldn’t have come a moment too soon.

As my colleagues at GSMA have demonstrated in a number of excellent reports the potential for Community Power to deliver where the centralized grid has failed is simply tremendous. The Dawn of Micro Power Life With Power This is where Community Power comes in. Which takes us back to OMC and the arrival of community power.

I samarbete med Supermiljöbloggen kan Ekologistas idag ge er en förhandsgranskning på en rapport som Timbro släpper idag. Timbro har döpt sin rapport till “Svensk vindkraft - 215 miljarder senare”. Enligt Timbro har “statsvetaren och opinionsanalytikern” Per Nilsson kartlagt den ekonomiska och klimatmässiga konsekvensen av en vindkraftsutbyggnad i Sverige. Vi skulle istället vilja hävda att Per Nilsson konsekvent har förvanskat information och dragit medvetet felaktiga slutsatser i syfte att svartmåla vindkraften som en ineffektiv och dyr energikälla Redan på omslagssidan indikeras det vilken typ av "rapport" man har framför sig.

Wind is not a bad technology. Dessvärre är omslagssidan tämligen representativ; "rapporten" genomsyras av en påtagligt vindkraftsskeptisk ton. Det bör tydligt markeras att Nilssons bakgrund som statsvetare/opinionsanalytiker är direkt opassande för ett sådant här arbete. Vår mer detaljerade granskning av "rapporten" finner ni här. Debatt: Det är förnybart som byggs ut.
