In a recent article for Energy Global, Dr Dustin Bauer, Associate, and Dr Paul Loustalan, Partner, Reddie & Grose Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, examine what developments in patent strategies can tell us regarding the battery #EnergyStorage sector.🔋 "Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are continuing to displace fossil fuel vehicles around the world. In light of this trend, and the decision of many governments to ban the sale of new fossil fuel vehicles within the next decade or so (Norway: 2025, the EU: 2035, the UK: 2035), it is expected that demand for battery storage will continue to soar.

Fancy a bit of #TravelTuesday? Well, you’re in luck! This Tuesday, we’re travelling to Egypt. AMEA Power, one of the fastest growing renewable energy companies in the region, has announced the commissioning of its 500 MW Abydos solar PV plant in Egypt. Located in the Aswan Governorate, this flagship project underscores AMEA Power’s commitment to accelerating the global transition to clean energy and is one of the largest solar PV plants in Africa. AMEA Power also signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) and land agreement for an additional 500 MW wind project in Egypt. The inauguration ceremony was attended by His Excellency, Dr Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt; His Excellency, Dr Mahmoud Esmat, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy of Egypt; Her Excellency, Rania A. Al-Mashat, Minister of Ministry of Planning, Economic Development & International Cooperation of Egypt; and Mr Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power.

Happy holidays to everybody who read, contributed, or simply enjoyed a copy of Energy Global this year. We've had the privilege of featuring hundreds of news stories this year on our website and dozens of insightful articles across our four issues this year. We're looking forward to continuing to report on the latest developments in the renewable energy industry and are excited for the future as we head into 2025. Thank you for all your support!

Here’s a throwback look at an article from our latest Winter issue of Energy Global for this week’s #PreWeekendPreview. In the article, titled, ‘Bringing the heat’, Sam Abraham, Senior Geothermal Technical Advisor, Halliburton, maps out drilling solutions which can overcome challenges to geothermal energy extraction. Take a look at this excerpt below for a little insight into geothermal drilling solutions: As the global demand for reliable renewable energy intensifies, geothermal power emerges as a vital solution for sustainable, baseload energy production. The Sorik Marapi geothermal field in Indonesia stands as a prime example of this potential. Tapping into geothermal resources, however, poses significant drilling challenges in one of the most extreme environments on the planet. From high temperatures and corrosive fluids, to complex geological formations, operators must confront these obstacles head-on to unlock geothermal energy’s full capacity. The Sorik Marapi geothermal field, situated west and northwest of the active Sorik Marapi volcano perched on the Sumatra Fault Zone in Indonesia, holds immense potential. Geologists estimate its geothermal energy capacity at 240 MW, which makes it one of Indonesia’s largest, continuous geothermal projects. The field holds approximately 39 exploration and development wells with depths of up to 2715 m and temperatures up to 617˚F (325˚C). These high temperatures present big challenges in geothermal wells. The harsh drilling environment, characterized by extreme heat and hard, abrasive rock, poses risks to equipment. The intense temperatures can cause wear and potential damage, and drilling through the tough rock requires tools specifically built to withstand the harsh forces. Hot, corrosive fluids known as acidic geothermal brines impact equipment integrity as well. When operators conduct geothermal drilling, they encounter lost circulation zones, which can impact well stability and result in tool failures mid-operation. The Sorik Marapi field lies in an active tectonic zone, and operators must prepare for seismic vibrations from earthquakes and tremors to observe activity. These vibrations stress wellbores and equipment. Permeability variations throughout the geothermal field mean that some areas allow efficient fluid flow, while others resist it. Operators must adapt their drilling strategies for the variations. The ability to understand geological formations is also important; operators must decipher subsurface intricacies and use tools to identify permeable zones, fault lines, and fractures. Only then can operators position wells in the most strategic places to maximise energy extraction.

Fancy a bit of #TravelTuesday? Well, you’re in luck! This Tuesday, we’re travelling to Germany. In the recent auction for onshore wind turbines by the Federal Network Agency, RWE was awarded the tender for two projects. The company will build one of the farms in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, RWE’s first in this region, and expand an existing wind farm in North Rhine-Westphalia. The seven wind turbines with a total capacity of around 40 MW will be able to generate enough green electricity to cover the needs of around 28 500 households once they have been commissioned as planned in the summer of 2026. Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, stated: “The energy transition in Germany is making progress and we are continuing to pick up speed. I am therefore delighted that we will be expanding our wind fleet in the north and west of the country.
