SF’s new hydrogen ferry could fuel clean energy market

as informed in In fact, as electric vehicles and charging stations pop up all over San Francisco, there are no existing hydrogen fuel stations in The City. If hydrogen fuel cells become more widely adopted, the demand could also provide California with support to store renewable energy. The widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cells by the maritime industry could also benefit electricity suppliers in California. But storing renewable energy in hydrogen tanks may be a better choice; at least, in some situations. If the vessel is successful, Pratt and others must then motivate the maritime industry to ditch diesel for hydrogen fuel on a wider scale.

North East energy market analyst reports wind and solar power renewables record

A sunny start to the summer and high winds earlier this year have helped Britain's power generation market to hit a new renewables record. Although wind speeds are generally lower over the summer months, wind farms continued to provide the largest share of renewables generation in Q2 2018, with 9.5 terawatt hours (TWh) produced. Coal-fired power stations produced 1.3%, while 7.4% came from electricity imports. Of the 28.1% share of renewables generation, almost one half (49.2%) came from wind farms, 27.1% from solar farms, 20.8% from biomass plants and 2.9% from hydro plants. "Over the past 18 months, several new large offshore wind farms – including Burbo Bank Extension, Dudgeon, Galloper, Race Bank, Rampion and Walney Extension – added significant levels of new wind capacity; this has provided momentum for a continued rise in wind generation levels following a slow-down in the construction of onshore wind farms.

On Monday, Germany maintained that the gas pipeline from Russia is purely about business. "Nord Stream 2 is first and foremost a commercial project," government spokesman Steffen Seibert told a regular government news conference in Berlin. During the Helsinki press conference on Monday, President Trump repeated his concerns. The $11-billion Nord Stream 2 will double the existing Nord Stream pipeline's current annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters and is expected to become operational by the end of next year.
