The Shape of Oil to Come - 0 views

  • Stability is needed to scale up alternative sources of energy sufficiently to replace crude oil during a transition period of decades.

    A good source, but a less deterministic tone for describing one of many possible scenario's might have been appropriate

Sectoral Approaches in Electricity : Building Bridges to a Safe Climate « RFF... - 2 views

  • Electricity accounts for more than 40 % of global energy-related CO2 emissions. This issue is most pressing for developing countries where growth in power demand is particularly high, fueling the risk of irreversible investment in CO2-intensive capacity, the so-called “carbon lock-in”. Sectoral Approaches in Electricity – Building Bridges to a Safe Climate shows how the international climate policy framework could effectively support a transition towards low-CO2 electricity systems in developing countries. Sectoral approaches are intended to address sectors that require urgent actions, without waiting for countries to take nation-wide commitments.

EarthTalk: Do city 'congestion taxes' really help the environment? | csmonitor.com - 2 views

  •  
    Despite increasing green awareness and steadily rising gasoline prices, Americans and other denizens of the developed world - not to mention millions of new Chinese and Indian drivers hitting the road every week - are loath to give up the freedom and privacy of their personal automobiles. But snarled traffic, longer commute times, and rising pollution levels have given city transportation planners new ammunition in their efforts to encourage the use of clean, energy-efficient public transit. One of the newest tools in their arsenal is so-called congestion pricing (also called variable toll pricing), whereby cars and trucks are hit with higher tolls if they access central urban areas at traditionally congested times.

    Great idea but appears somewhat dormant. It is hard to keep a volunteer group like this going. I speak from personal experience.

Minister: Germany should start world's first green-hydrogen tender next year | Recharge - 0 views

  • The German environment minister has called for the world’s first green-hydrogen tender to begin next year, starting at 5,000 tonnes and rising by the same amount each year until 2030, when 5GW of electrolysis capacity would be installed.
  • According to Recharge calculations, every 5,000 tonnes of green H2 would require about 250GWh of renewable energy, the equivalent of 79MW of offshore wind (at a capacity factor of 36%) or 130MW of onshore wind (capacity factor of 22%).
