Electric Tractor Models
Tractors is a very large industry globally and mostly diesel based with JCB announcing Hydrogen based emissions free tractors. A few companies have announced electric tractors in the smaller segment.
New Hydrogen Technologies for Cheaper H2
New hydrogen technologies are all about getting the cost of hydrogen to under $1 per kg to be cost competitive with other battery and energy storage.
Evidence of Increasing Renewable Energy
Evidence of increasing renewable energy comes from most countries. Australia is one of the fastest changing but the USA is also rapidly changing, as is China
Germany’s Russian Gas Disaster
Germany made a decision to build a new gasline from Russia – the Nordstream 2 for 11 billion. They could have invested the same in wind power and now save themselves $200 million per day of cost.
Pumped Hydro as a Battery
Hydro power is about 10% of the global energy production, but pumped hydro is being pursued as part of the solution for intermittent storage in renewable energy
Underwater Power Cable for Renewable Energy
High Voltage DC transmission systems are driving underwater power cable for renewable energy transmitted over thousands of km from Africa to UK or Australia to Singapore. Cheap solar is driving the change.
Lithium amount in EV battery
What is the real figure of amount of lithium in a battery. The quantity of 6kg is elemental lithium. The quanty of Lithium carbonate equivalalent or LCE is used in mining circles and the quantity is about 60 kg. A large opportunity for efficiency improvement is clear.
Carbon Footprint of Wind Turbines
The Carbon Footprint to build a wind turbine is paid back on average in 7 months, and costs about 10gCO2-equivalent compared to gas at 600, and coal at 1,000 g-CO2/kWh.
Cruise Ships are bad polluters
47 of Luxury cruise liners owned by Carnival emitt more sulfur dioxide than all of Europes 260 million cars. Globally, the 70,000 ships emit 2.5% of CO2 emissions
