Another European Energy Study Assumes Unrealistically Cheap Hydrogen & Finds Significant Demand

In recent months I’ve apparently taken on a sideline of assessing major total cost of ownership studies from reputable organizations, specifically looking at their usually weird assumptions around hydrogen. Now it’s the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research‘s turn, although it’s not a TCO study in this case. They’ve released … [continued]

A newly patented kind of energy generator could be woven into fabrics, building walls, or roads to form what their inventors call “metamaterials.” As wind, waves, or the pressure of a car deforms these electric quilts, individual generators create sparks of energy.

The Yoga of Energy (Specifically, Ocean Energy)

Newly Patented Electrostatic Generator Could Produce Renewable Energy From Flexible Structures, Ropes, Nets, Walls, Clothing, Roads, and More To shapeshift into the yoga pose called “destroyer of the universe,” a human must gumby a leg behind their neck to point their toes directly at the sky. For non-gumbys, that feat … [continued]

ICCT Thinks Green Hydrogen For Shipping Will Have More Energy Than Electricity Required To Make…

A month ago the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) released a Europe-focused report on the total cost of ownership of various decarbonization pathways for freight trucking. It was deeply flawed, with unrealistically low costs for the hydrogen pathway as they put multiple thumbs on the scale. Perhaps their analyses … [continued]
