Energy Infrastructure

Hydrogen is emerging as a potential solution for combating climate change. But there is a need to differentiate between green hydrogen—produced renewably, essential for certain industries—and less sustainable forms like grey, black, and blue hydrogen, which have significant carbon footprints. Pink hydrogen, though less harmful, presents nuclear waste challenges.

Space-based solar energy (SBSE) overcomes terrestrial solar power limitations, offering continuous, efficient energy. Despite high costs and ecological concerns, advances in technology and interest from ESA and CALTECH's SSPD indicate its promising potential for sustainable energy.

The European Union is intensifying efforts to foster green hydrogen as a key component of its energy and climate strategy. Policies are being developed to support the production, distribution, and use of green hydrogen, aligning with the EU's broader goals of achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable economic growth.

The IEA Electricity Market Report 2023 paints a picture of a world grappling with the dual challenges of meeting growing energy demands and transitioning to a more sustainable and low-carbon energy future. Low-emission power sources are poised to meet nearly all the global electricity demand growth by 2025.

The "Hydrogen Patents for a Clean Energy Future" report highlights hydrogen's role in sustainable energy. It details its growing importance, especially in Spain's renewable energy sector. The study covers increased hydrogen-related patent activities from 2011-2020, advancements in production technologies, and its diverse end-use applications. The report concludes with hydrogen's potential in the global energy transition.

Next week sees the start of the EU Sustainable Energy Week 2023 in Brussels. The RE4Industry project uses this flagship event to showcase its amazing results and has developed a fun-learn mobile quiz: 5 questions, 45 seconds, fastest 25 daily winner get a nice price.

OneNet project delivered a report on Cross stakeholder Data Governance for Energy Data Exchange. It was concluded that the majority of the recommendations are yet to be addressed. The deliverable analyses the OneNet system architecture and functional approach from.

Biomass plays a crucial role in the production of zero-carbon heat and electricity. The future of biomass in industrial applications remains promising. Some industries, such as the cement industry, have already invested heavily in adapting their processes to use biomass.
