Affordable, Scalable Clean Energy Storage and Reuse – A Revolution for the Hydrogen Economy?

Hydrogen Electrolyzer Freezer-SizeAffordable, Scalable Clean Energy Storage and Reuse

A Revolution for the Hydrogen Economy?

Clean Tech Trends

An exciting new discovery has been made by Canadian scientists that would allow the electrolysis of water for hydrogen generation. The discovery would allow renewable energy to be stored and reused at a cost of 1000 less than technologies previously developed.

 

One of the biggest impediments to affordable renewable energy use on a mass-scale has been timing. Peak use does not necessarily coincide with peak production of wind and solar energy, and storing the energy has not been an affordable option.

 

Such energy is clean and renewable, but it’s available only when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. The new technology opens the door to homeowners and energy companies being able to easily store and reuse solar and wind power.

Would You Pay 13% More for Clean Energy?

Would You Pay 13% More for Clean Energy?

On average, Americans are willing to pay 13 percent more for “clean” electricity, according to a new paper “Willingness to Pay and Political Support for a U.S. National Clean Energy Standard” by researchers at Yale and Harvard.

13 percent translates to $162 annually that Americans, on average, are willing to on top of their current electricity costs. People favor incurring the additional cost in order to support a National Clean Energy Standard (NCES) requiring that 80 percent of the energy be “clean,” or not derived from fossil fuels. (more…)

Ultra High Voltage (UHV) Transmission Could be Our Renewable Energy Interstate

Ultra High Voltage (UHV) Transmission Could be Our Renewable Energy Interstate

John Whitney AIA

John Whitney

By John Whitney AIA

The renewable energy transformation of the United States is confronted with two serious challenges: Addressing intermittency in power generation and transmitting low cost renewable power from renewable resource rich regions to the rest of the country. In just the past three years, China has taken the lead in development of ultra high voltage (UHV) transmission lines to address both of these issues. China’s elegant, simple, and cost-effective solution to these challenges is now being implemented in Brazil and India, but in the U.S. depressingly little activity on this front can be observed.

While viable renewable energy resources are available throughout the United States, certain regions are blessed with truly remarkable renewable assets: Solar power in the insolation intense Southwest, on-shore wind generation in the windy Great Plains, hydropower in the Northwest and Northeast, and deep enhanced geothermal in the West. With constantly improving technology and steadily dropping costs, renewable energy power generation is now cost effective in many regions of the U.S. However, apologists for the conventional power generation industry continue to argue that without aggressive incentivization and subsidies, power from renewable generation sources is just too costly for most of the country.

“Clean Energy: Ten Trends to Watch in 2011 and Beyond” released by Pike Research

Green Trends

Pike Research releases its “Clean Energy: Ten Trends to Watch in 2011 and Beyond”.

“As the clean energy industry emerges from a challenging period caused by the global economic downturn, it is entering a stage of rapid change in which business models are being transformed against a backdrop of regulatory uncertainty. In several key sectors, the market is shifting back toward business structures and technologies that were once abandoned, but are now being revived.

Evidence of these changes can be seen with utilities becoming more involved again with power generation deployments, which runs counter to deregulation trends originating in the 1970s, with the most radical shift occurring within the solar sector. When it comes to technology, the growing popularity of direct current (DC) at both the micro-distribution and high-voltage transmission levels of service is an unexpected development for many in the industry, and would make Thomas Edison proud. Another overarching theme in the clean energy market is the increasing diversity of scale and resources being deployed within the renewable sector, a sign, no doubt, of the growing maturity of this market segment.”

1 in 74,176 Chance, . . . Nuclear Risks, Costs, Benefits

1 in 74,176 Chance, . . . Nuclear Risks, Costs, Benefits

The epic tragedy unfolding in Japan is heating up the debate on nuclear power. What will this mean for the future of nuclear worldwide and in the US? There are significant risks, costs, and benefits. 

Does 1 in 74,176 sound like good odds?  I’m really not sure.

Bill Dedman, of msnbc.com, writes that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has calculated the odds of an earthquake causing catastrophic failure to a nuclear plant and at the typical nuclear reactor in the U.S., “there’s a 1 in 74,176 chance that the core could be damaged by an earthquake, exposing the public to radiation. That’s 10 times more likely than you winning $10,000 by buying a ticket in the Powerball multistate lottery, where the chance is 1 in 723,145.”

What does nuclear power cost? Does $100+ per MWh cover the costs? (more…)
