Rather than pitching blue and green hydrogen against each other, we must move forward with both as part of our future sustainable energy system.

After each hurricane or extreme weather event, utilities do an intense lesson-learned session. The big lesson from Ida may be that the city of New Orleans needs more distributed energy and virtual power plants.

Solar and energy storage also "very interesting"

Today I address some of the feedback generated by my previous article on blue hydrogen.

Includes the global role of government policy, the rate of changeover from fossil power plants to renewables, future oil and gas supplies, and liquid hydrogen.

The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO is expanding operations in Texas, moved there in 2020 and speaks "frequently" to its conservative governor.

In the innovative post-pandemic era embracing sustainability will be the realistic pathway to growth, from circular business models to virtual environments and innovation in the natural sciences.

The Phoenix-based company plans to start using Bosch fuel cells in its Tre and Nikola Two trucks starting in 2023.

The construction and operation of energy generation projects will always cause some negative environmental and social impacts, but the projected global footprint of wind and solar will have fewer negative impacts compared to that from hydropower.

The issues surrounding the use of lithium ion batteries as back up storage for renewable energy in power generation are numerous and well documented.

Several recent research papers indicate that EVs are not ready to be mass market vehicles.

Hurricane Ida shut down Gulf oil and gas production and cut power to millions. Yet energy prices remain muted.

The electricity crisis that is engulfing New Orleans and much of southeastern Louisiana will soon result in a surge in the death rate and a big jump in the number of carbon monoxide poisonings and deaths caused by small electric generators.

Will the future of the energy market be more decentralized, fuelled by incentives for off-grid, wireless power?

The Justice40 Initiative wants those regions long-forgotten to be the beneficiaries of America's new infrastructure projects — the ones to usher in clean energy and climate solutions. Can it succeed?

Hydrogen has been touted as a promising route by which countries can achieve their climate goals. But research suggests it is being pushed as part of a deliberate effort to extend the life of the fossil fuel industry.

Despite concern from the Biden administration, this analysis shows that oil demand has generally recovered from pandemic-related declines. High inflation has caused gasoline prices to appear unusually high, but that fact is unlikely to motivate OPEC to deviate from their stated production plan.
