Energy Magazine’s Post

In his article in the Special Report: Future of Energy edition of City & State PA magazine, Babst Calland Attorney James Chen addresses the rising trend in energy production across all sectors, and how diversification of the energy mix in the United States can reduce dependence on imported energy and promote economic development. Jim discusses the benefits of transportation electrification and its accompanying technological improvements of the electric vehicle industry, and points out that careful consideration must be made regarding policies and legislation that impact these promising new technologies. https://lnkd.in/eSEhz3Ch #babstcalland #transportationtech #energytech #evs

The transition to a decarbonized power system requires an enormous amount of innovation, particularly with the technologies used to generate electricity and to monitor and balance the grid. But decarbonization demands innovation in other realms, including in the business models utilities use to sustainably serve their customers, shareholders, and society.   In a series of new white papers, EPRI explores the drivers behind business model innovation and provides a structured way for utility leaders to evaluate new business model options.   Find out more in a recent Energy Central article by EPRI’s Neil Hughes on the topic.   https://lnkd.in/eUH7E4T3

Clean energy is entering the energy system at an unprecedented rate, but deployment is far from uniform across technologies and markets, according to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report. #renewableenergy #energytransition #analysis

"Among the many pathways utilities are pursuing to contribute to the nation’s clean energy goals, data and digital technology have emerged as ways to both accelerate innovation and mitigate growing delays between interconnection requests and commercial operation." #RenewableEnergy #DigitalTechnology

Here's a video extract of our CEO, Justin Hoffman, from a recent panel session hosted by Texas Global Business, LLC during SXSW in Austin. Pertinent to the work he does for cSolutions, the support he provides as a GlobalScot for Scottish Development International, and as the Houston Ambassador for Scottish Business Network, here's the video link: https://lnkd.in/gMkrc9-b "As second-generation Oil and Gas from Aberdeen, I knew I would eventually end up in Houston. The energy relationship between Houston, TX and Aberdeen, Scotland goes back to the early 70’s when expertise from Texas helped Scotland open up The North Sea. Scottish companies further developed those products, technologies and services in extremely harsh environments which has allowed them to cross-pollinate that expertise back into Texas. Today, we see similar cross-pollination in offshore (and onshore) wind (and across other renewables) whereby, you have established capabilities and expertise in the UK and Europe which are needed in Texas and the rest of the US. With desire, drive, and great potential, we continue to see this cross-pollination in the energy sector through requests going back and forth between the two regions to build infrastructure, services, and OEMs, presenting nearshoring opportunities to address or eliminate supply chain bottlenecks." #TexasGlobal #UKBusinessEvents #USMotorsports #Texas #TradeMission #ScotlandIsNow

This new modelling by Energy Systems Catapult finds credible pathways to Net Zero in 2050 through rapid deployment of low regret technologies, coupled with accelerated innovation in novel clean tech. This includes mature technologies like heat pumps, hybrid heat pumps, and wider electrification of heat through more innovative systems.

In this week's #EnergyTransition we look at:   ⚡ the UK government's pledge to fund first two net zero industrial clusters; ⚡ Ofgem's proposal for a cap and floor on generators' transmission charges; ⚡ DESNZ opening its annual consultation on new technologies in the Capacity Market; ⚡ the official launch of the UK's NESO; and ⚡ National Grid's announcing first demand turn-up, generation turn-down contracts.   #CCUS #CapacityMarket #NetZero #EnergyTransition

In the renewed study, TNO elaborates on two scenarios, adapt and transform, for the future of the Dutch energy supply after 2030.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has allocated $5 million to advance research and development of lead-acid batteries to provide LDES services. The initiative, supported by Battery Council International (BCI), a North American trade association, and the Consortium for Battery Innovation, will focus on pre-competitive research to enhance lead-acid battery performance. “We have two technical issues we’re trying to address. One is cycle life, which is extremely important. The more cycles you get out of a battery, the lower the cost per unit,” said Tim Ellis, BCI’s Technical Director. “The other is increasing the capacity utilisation of lead batteries.” The three-year programme will combine economic analysis with materials science research to develop lead-acid batteries capable of providing more than 10 hours of #energystorage. Participating companies will share equal ownership of the resulting intellectual property, allowing them to apply the advancements to their own products and integrate them as they see fit. As the U.S. advances its energy transition, #LDES remains vital for managing power grids across long distances and state boundaries, enhancing grid resiliency and ensuring a #sustainable energy future. #LDESenablers are essential to deploy #1500GWby2030.
