Campbell River, BC – The situation regarding COVID-19 continues to evolve. Energy Insiders - a RenewEconomy Podcast on Apple Podcasts. But there are many, many losers. I also wonder about the sense in Australia pursuing both a fuel cell transport network and an EV charging network but perhaps that is a “game” best played out in the market. The China Day consisted of five webinars discussing various aspects of the 14th Five Year Plan and the country’s recently issued 2060 carbon neutrality goal. Although ITK has the greatest skepticism of carbon capture and storage it is nevertheless likely that some businesses, perhaps with existing depleted storage facilities, may have a natural advantage in that area. Even so, over 10 years power output can probably double but turbine costs per MW of rated capacity decline by 1/3. View David Leitch’s profile on LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional community. But no, that work is left to the states, while the federal government enthusiastically backs coal, gas, and as a sideline out-of-the-picture technologies like nuclear and carbon capture. There is an increasingly large number of cost estimates for hydrogen production from sources such as McKinsey for the Hydrogen Council and by various hydrogen groups in Australia and Europe. However, offshore wind, and particularly, offshore floating wind is likely to represent a very competitive threat. The study’s authors report that at the end of 2018 there were only seven offshore floating wind projects in the world totaling just 44MW with another 203MW under construction. It’s very likely that every Asian country will want to be as energy independent as possible. He has worked as an equities analyst since 1983 and was rated as a top 3 analyst in 3 separate sectors of the Greenwich Australia survey. However, their estimate of “blue” hydrogen production cost is likely conservative as it sees no cost reduction from scaling up.

The post A wrap on 2020: From denial to acceptance, and from acceptance to action appeared first on RenewEconomy. Locally produced wind and solar [VRE] offers energy independence, but for many Asian countries the land mass or population density does not suit the mass deployment of solar or wind in the way we are rolling it out in Australia. Recently it commissioned McKinsey to do a major report, released in late January 2020,  on the outlook for hydrogen costs. See the complete profile on LinkedIn and discover David… If they can’t be winners in wind, solar or lithium, what can they do? Nucleus Investment Insights – Untangling Australia’s Energy Market with David Leitch. Still, the losers represent a big piece of global capital. The flaps are very powerful and if applied too early in the wind the plane will just stop lose all energy and stop on the spot. “Carbon lite” hydrogen can be produced in two ways, (i) using say natural gas with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen) and (ii) from wind and solar (green hydrogen). In the car industry, electric vehicles, despite starting many years behind fuel cells, are dominating the race to non-fossil fuel light transport. @ Copyright RenewEconomy 2020.

Japan’s electricity consumption is pretty close to 1PWh (1000TWh) and assuming a capacity factor of 40% would require about 300GW of wind to serve 100%. It’s true that there will still be a need for firming, but again, people who don’t understand renewable energy tend to overestimate the amount of energy required for firming. There are some successful CCS projects, in the sense that the carbon is captured, stored, and does not leak, but in general it’s been hard work.

To land in the wind will require diving at the spot from close and from a height. So for IRENA – and IRENA may be quite conservative – the 2050 delivered cost of hydrogen at a port in Japan is around $US2/kg or $US16/GJ. ITK believes the cost of capital will be higher for the first few projects but once these have been proved up, particularly under severe weather conditions, the WACC should drop to the same level as fixed offshore. Lots of power is needed for firming but the energy and hence fuel requirement is much smaller. Based in Charlotte, he is a member of the bank’s executive management team.

Right now, hypothetically, exported hydrogen would require about A$280/MWh (US$196/MWh) to earn its cost of capital as electricity in Japan. So even a price of US$1/kg corresponds to about US$8/GJ of gas, and then there is the transport cost. https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2019/Sep/IRENA_Hydrogen_2019.pdf, https://hydrogencouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Path-to-Hydrogen-Competitiveness_Full-Study-1.pdf, https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy20osti/75618.pdf, https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qajm9vynno0dydp/AADzO1LzEu7sn-g_KCN54Iiua?dl=0&preview=4b+Cheng+Cheng.pptx.
