Re:notch Solar Heat Storage’s Post

Swiss and German perfection from a 71 year old company naturally begs Meyer Burger to move slow and cautiously. Did you know we gain our 45 patents by 2012 on today's best HJT Smartwire technology used by our partners, and now ourselves but did not roll it into production until 2018? For years, we have been testing our own HJT IBC modules that we ensure perfection as a fine wine. Then we are a good 6 years out with our world's leading Perovskite tandem technology. Nevertheless, we do not let the market climate dictate a rush to market, as it is clearly apparent with our competition. As I have stated before, for the last 40 years anyone wanting to get into the solar cell or module manufacturing business would come to Meyer Burger for our tooling, machines and technology. Since 2021.... that is no longer occuring. https://lnkd.in/da-ZPw4K

How profitable is a battery connected to a solar park? Because of the fast growth of renewable energy-producing sources such as solar and wind, companies often have to pay to transfer electricity back to the grid (instead of the electricity being used). Also, as a result of turbulent electricity prices, companies face challenging obstacles.     Family Booijink, who own a large-scale dairy farm with a connected solar park, were interested in ways to make their solar farm more profitable. The idea arose to install a battery at the solar farm that could store the energy in times of unfavorable market conditions and then sell it in favorable times. QING was contacted to test the technical and financial feasibility of this.    In collaboration with Odura , QING started an analysis using all energy-related data available within the company. There are countless variables and knobs to turn in complex energy systems like this one. The trick is to distinguish between main and secondary issues so that the analysis can be kept understandable and manageable.    We created a digital simulation to calculate whether the Booijink family would do well to invest in a battery. This simulation allows us to test with current market conditions how the battery would behave in the real world and deduce whether it would be profitable.   Want to know more about the results of the analysis?

In ÖkoFEN's 35th anniversary year, we reached over 1️⃣ 2️⃣ million tons CO2 saved 💪 with our products since 1989: That's equivalent to twice the annual emissions of the three biggest cities in Austria Vienna, Graz, and Linz combined! 🌍💚 At ÖkoFEN, green innovation is our mission. Technologies like ZeroFlame, slashing air quality emissions by 95%, showcases whats possible with the recycling fuel pellets 🌱💡 The introduction of the GreenFOX heat pump in 2023, leveraging real-time data on weather, CO2 levels, and electricity prices, has made heat pump operation more efficient and environmentally friendly.🔄 Looking ahead, it's clear that the future of heating belongs to innovative renewable energy sources. More and more, of the 13 million installed oil and gas heaters are changed for options like pellet heating and heat pumps. #bethechange

🚢 Yesterday, during our event at Arendalsuka, we announced a new partnership between Iverson eFuels AS, St1 Norge, ASCO Norge AS, and STAVANGERREGIONEN HAVN IKS (PORT OF STAVANGER) to create a new value chain for green ammonia. Our goal is to make Risavika an energy hub for zero-emission fuel.   🌱 This is an important step toward reducing carbon emissions in the maritime sector. Thank you to our partners and the panel members for sharing their insights on making shipping emission-free. Collaboration, predictability, and long-term cooperation between industry, government, and the public sector were highlighted as essential to achieving this goal.   Hege Økland, Iverson eFuels AS | Simen Hauland, St1 Norge | Runar Hatletvedt, ASCO Norge AS | Isabelle-Louise (Arne) Aabel, Port of Kristiansand IKS and Member of "Havnesamarbeidet", including Port of Stavanger | Morten Sundt, Equinor | Anne Jorunn Møkster, Simon Møkster Shipping AS | Sigmund Ø.

Great article in the Volkskrant today which explains the crucial role of the current gas infrastructure on the Northsea in the Energy transition. Facilities that accelerate the role-out of offshore renewable power productie and puts less pressure on ecology and energy affordability! Fantastic to be part of this journey towards a low carbon future, which makes Europe less dependent of energy import.

A typical flat panel is more energy efficient than a flexible panel based on W/m² since a portion of the surface area of the flexible panel is not directly exposed to the sun.

Make a rough design for the HT-ATES systems for different locations in the city.   --------------------------------------------   🧠 The HT-ATES technology facilitates large-scale #heat storage in the subsurface (>25GWh annually). By storing surplusses of sustainable and residual heat during summer, and its recovery and usage in winter, HT-ATES improves the yields and business cases of green heat sources (geothermal, solar, residual), while also providing flexibility and security of supply in the grid.

Thank you Ocean Hyway Cluster and Maria Brandsøy for arranging a really interesting conference this week in Florø creating a quite unique meeting place for us that are overly interested in green H2 and NH3. Great to hear the view points of industry leaders such as Jens Berge Ronny Haufe Martin Kjall-Ohlsson Liv-Elisif Queseth Kalland Key takeaways:   Hydrogen Import Projects Advancing: Green hydrogen production is hindered by high electricity costs and regulatory challenges. End users will be looking for grey or blue to import Regional Disparities in Production: The Nordics should be leading in hydrogen production, benefiting from lower electricity prices Collaboration for Innovation: Technology companies are forming partnerships to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and diversify risks, which is crucial for launching innovative projects and scaling existing technologies. Year of the first FIDs: 2025 will likely be the year of the first Final Investment Decisions for several hydrogen projects in Norway. Ole Christoffer Ellingsen Thommessen

BioCirc wins significant share of the NECCS fund for major CCS project We are thrilled to announce that BioCirc has been awarded a significant portion of the NECCS funding by the Danish Energy Agency. The initiative is a key step towards achieving Denmark's ambitious climate goals by enabling negative CO2 emissions through advanced carbon capture and storage (CCS). About the project: BioCirc is set to capture and permanently store over 1,000,000 tons of biogenic CO2 from our biogas production between 2026 and 2036. This volume is equivalent to the annual direct CO2 emissions of approximately 133,000 Danes. Our plan involves enhancing our biogas plants with CO2 capture units that will allow for the transportation of captured biogenic CO2 to underground storage facilities over 1,500 meters below the surface at Gas Storage Denmark's Stenlille site. Why this matters: The captured CO2 will be permanently stored, reducing the atmospheric concentration of CO2. The project, which is set to be the largest of its kind from biogas to date, supports our mission to displace carbon emissions by integrating cutting-edge technology into our operations. It represents a new chapter, not only for BioCirc but also for our joint efforts in environmental conservation and sustainable energy practices. Strengthening the leadership team: In conjunction with these developments, we are also strengthening our leadership team. Anders Christian Nordstrøm, with vast experience in green transformation from Ørsted, joins as CEO of our Power-to-X division, which includes our CCS activities. Anders's deep expertise will drive the development of projects from innovation to scalable and implementable solutions. Our vision: Looking beyond the NECCS period, BioCirc aims to utilize the biogenic CO2 in our land-based circular energy clusters to produce green fuels such as e-methanol through Power-to-X technologies. This will enable a shift towards sustainable energy solutions within hard-to-abate sectors such as transportation and heavy industries. We are proud to play a pivotal role in Denmark’s journey towards carbon neutrality and look forward to sharing more updates as we progress. #GreenEnergy #SustainableEnergy #CCSTechnology #DKgreen #DKpol #CarbonCapture #CCS #Biogas
