Long duration energy storage is an imperative for Europe's industrial decarbonisation Julia Souder highlights the common necessity for sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions across Europe's diverse industries. She emphasizes the potential of Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technologies in decarbonizing industries by storing renewable energy for various durations. These technologies encompass electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical solutions and are currently in production, offering a pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly by 2040. According to research by the LDES Council, implementing renewable energy and LDES could mitigate 8 billion tonnes of industrial CO2 emissions. However, Souder argues that the key to unlocking their potential lies in establishing a regulatory framework that ensures their economic viability and facilitates their widespread adoption, thus driving meaningful change. #energytransition #energystorage #batteryenergystorage https://lnkd.in/g3XpwT-d

Energy sources are changing, and society is adjusting to rely on more renewable sources to move society forward. 💡 Read our latest blog to learn more about energy sources and the outlook specifically in WNY: https://lnkd.in/eV-wkpAx

Thermal energy has two main applications: heating and cooling buildings, as well as serving as fuel for a wide range of industrial processes. Although thermal energy makes up over 50% of total global energy consumption, only 10% currently comes from renewable sources. Even major companies have been slow to make progress in this area. According to an analysis by ENGIE Impact of companies with science-based targets, 65% have made significant strides in procuring renewable sources of power, but only 27% have done the same for heat. The article we wrote a few months ago exploring the barriers to thermal decarbonization and the key actions and case studies for companies looking to overcome them, remains as relevant as ever.

RECOGNIZING THE FULL BREADTH OF THE VARIABILITY CHALLENGE As the world begins to use more and more variable renewable energy, we’re learning in real-time just how much more complex and challenging navigating the energy transition will be. A new paper from the International Energy Agency’s International Centre for Sustainable Carbon finds that a potential over-reliance on variable power in trying to maintain a stable, reliable and affordable electricity system is a growing and unnecessary risk as dispatchable generation is pushed aside at an alarming rate. https://lnkd.in/gVf5jFVA #coal

The United States is making a significant shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy like wind and solar, even in regions traditionally dominated by oil and gas. Renewable energy sources are setting new records, and they're projected to surpass coal as the world's primary electricity source by 2025. Automakers are prioritizing electric vehicles, hinting at the eventual decline of internal combustion engines. Electric solutions are expanding to heating, cooling, cooking, and certain manufacturing processes. The cost of solar and wind power is rapidly decreasing, often becoming more economical than gas, oil, or coal. Private investments are pouring into companies vying for a competitive edge in emerging green industries. 🌱🌬️🌞⚡️🚗🌍🔌 #renewableenergy #electricrevolution #greenfuture #cleanenergy #solarpower #renewablerevolution #fossilfuels Report Courtesy :- https://lnkd.in/d3HMTrce

Selecting the right location is critical for Green Hydrogen (GH2) facilities, especially in today's world where industries are moving towards cleaner energy solutions. The availability of renewable resources, regulatory constraints, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are significant factors that need to be considered when making informed decisions. To learn more about the importance of strategic site selection for GH2 facilities, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/esb6GCRy #SustainableEnergy #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy

Addressing thermal emissions is crucial to achieving decarbonization goals. Many technologies, such as heat pumps, renewable natural gas, and hydrogen, are available to address these emissions, but face a variety of challenges, including limited supply, high capital costs and infrastructure availability.   State-level policies will continue to play an important role in overcoming these challenges. They not only fill the gaps left by federal policies, but also cater to state-specific needs.   To read more about past state policy successes and additional areas where states can support, check out our latest article that we wrote in collaboration with the Renewable Thermal Collaborative.

Building energy storage would accelerate retirements of fossil fuel power plants. Which would in turn lower wholesale capacity prices and air pollution, and improve reliability of the power grid. Renewable energy applications, on the other hand, involve exceptionally long lead times related to delivering regional transmission line expansion.
