Electrical Management Systems Key to Efficiency
Electrical management systems have evolved from their large diesel engine power plant buinsess. They have flexible energ
batteries
Hydrogen Battery Storage
The cost of hydrogen is a key metric if hydrogen can be used as long term storage in the energy supply mix to overcome long durations of lack of sun or wind for renewable energy generation
EU Bans ICE Vehicles by 2035
The EU commission has voted to ban sales of all internal Combustion engines in cars buses trucks motorcycles by 2035 to achieve the carbon emissions reduction by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels.
Memes for Climate Deniers and Delayers
An image can say a thousand words – and facts and figures won’t sway a climate denier or climate delayer. But humour may do. Lets see
Stop Burning Rocks for Energy
We have burnt rocks for a million years and every year we burn 500 years of the products of the carbonaceas period as fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not fuel. It harnesses energy from the nuclear sun. Batteries can store it. RE stops energy poverty.
OffGrid Uninterruptible Electricity
Backup generators have been used for conventional grid supplied electricity and are now moving to include batteries and solar to ensure households and businesses can keep operating even in extended blackout conditions.
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.
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.
Top 8 Lithium Miners by 2024
With established miners extracting lithium, who will be some of the up and coming miners. Here are 8 of them. There are another 150 miners globally.
10 Electric Vehicle Myths Debunked
Every new techology and disruption will have myths and falsehoods about how it will never happen. Here are 10 myths about electric cars – and many more to come.
10 Climate Change Denier Arguments
Climate change myths are everywhere, given that $200 million a year is spent on climate denial by fossil fuel companies. Recognise the arguments and understand the tactics of fossil fuel companies to protect their stranded assets.
Electric Airplanes Flying Soon
Airlines generally lose money. So electric, low carbon airplanes are being developed to reduce fuel costs – the largest cost after capital costs. What’s the latest development?
Home and Community Battery Storage
Home and community battery is a smart way to reduce transmission costs and to improve reliablity of renewable energy. Losses in transmission are about 10% and batteries cost much the same whether close to consumers or at a solar farm.
Recycling Effectiveness is Poor
Recycling effectiveness is poor because companies have passed the responsibility and cost of recycle / reuse onto consumers. Less than 7% of all plastic is recycled. Almost as much is dumped at sea. Time to change.
Enough Lithium Supply to meet Demand
When you dig into the supposed shortfall of lithium for EV and grid energy industry, it is clear that there is enough lithium to meet the demand although it will take time to come on stream.
5 Orders of Innovation
There are 5 orders of innovation from individual components at order 1, to systems at 2, services at 3 to disruption of industry at order 5. Knowing this provides expectation of capital and time to market with new innovations.
Green Steel From Fortescue Minerals
What is FMG ulitimate goal? To change his low cost iron ore exports to China and turn it into green steel manufactured in Australia and exported globally? The company has been busy setting up deals and purchasing technology.
