DNV GL: 60% integration of renewables in European distribution grids feasible by 2030
UK Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats pledge to cooperate on climate change
European demand for renewable energy surges in 2014
Wood MacKenzie wonder: is solar the next shale?
MIT study investigates role of bio-energy in low-carbon future
IEA: “Nuclear power critical to meet climate goals”
Russia’s oil and gas tax policies look increasingly eastward
Eon’s new strategy: focus on renewables, distribution, customer solutions, get out of old power generation
The integration of approximately 60% of renewables into the European electricity system will be feasible by 2030, but will come with an extensive expansion of infrastructure, including transmission and distribution networks as well as conventional backup generation. The challenges of grid integration of renewables can be mitigated by a number of technical and regulatory measures. These are the findings of a DNV GL study for the European … [Read more...]
In a highly unusual move, the three leaders of the main UK political parties – Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservatives, Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats and Ed Miliband of the opposition Labour party – have signed a joint pledge that they will work together across party lines to tackle climate change. Among other things, they have pledged to end the use of "unabated coal" for power generation. … [Read more...]
The European market for renewable energy, documented with Guarantees of Origin, increased by 26.5 % in 2014 compared to 2013. For the first time, the demand surpassed 300 TWh, according to statistics from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB). This is nearly one tenth of all electricity demand in Europe (ca. 3,300 TWh) and one third of all electricity from renewable sources in Europe (ca. 900 TWh). … [Read more...]
“Just as shale extraction reconfigured oil and gas, no other technology is closer to transforming power markets than distributed and utility scale solar.” That is the main conclusion of a new report from energy consultants Wood MacKenzie. The report is significant as Wood MacKenzie has a solid reputation in the oil and gas sector. … [Read more...]
According to a new report from MIT, released in January, bioenergy production could cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than half, but with a caveat. “To achieve the cut”, notes MIT in a press release, “the carbon price must cover emissions from changing land use. Without this safeguard, deforestation becomes a major concern as forests are cleared to make way for farmland.” … [Read more...]
Nuclear power is “a critical element in limiting greenhouse gas emissions”, says the International Energy Agency (IEA) in a report released on 29 January (co-authored with the Nuclear Energy Agency). According to the report, 72 new reactors are under construction, the highest number in 25 years. … [Read more...]
Recent changes in the taxation of Russia’s oil and gas sector reflect both the country’s pivot eastward and the special treatment afforded to its state-controlled energy companies, says an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData. … [Read more...]
Eon, the largest German energy company, will henceforth “focus on renewables, distribution networks, and customer solutions and combine its conventional generation, global energy trading, and exploration and production businesses in a new, independent company, a majority of which will be spun off to Eon SE’s shareholders. … [Read more...]
The EU’s great power transition – the liberalisation and integration of its energy markets and the expansion of renewables – has reached a crucial stage. According to three seasoned energy experts, the EU's energy project - one of the greatest missions ever to be undertaken by the European Union - has delivered some positive results, but it is also faced with mounting challenges - political uncertainty being the most prominent one. The … [Read more...]
