In a recent report from Rethink Energy, lead analyst Bogdan Avramuta makes the point that depending on “sustainable aviation fuel” — that is, kerosene created from waste — will not achieve the aviation industry’s goals of decarbonization. “The 2050 target set by the industry to itself is to halve its … [continued]
To transition to a green hydrogen future, we need access to cheap renewable energy, clean water, and economical electrolyzers. These parts of the puzzle seem to be falling into place. Now, Rethink Energy is tackling the question of how this hydrogen will be transported and what it will cost. Depending … [continued]
Green hydrogen, is it just vaporware? Not according to Rethink Energy UK. Their latest report indicates that there is a surge in the production capacity of electrolyzers. For green hydrogen to succeed, the word needs a surfeit of renewable energy, plenty of clean water, and cheap electrolyzer supply. Rethink Energy … [continued]
Rethink Energy UK is predicting a glut of polysilicon leading to a fall in the price of the main component of solar cells by 2023. Nineteen Chinese companies are expanding capacity in order to produce millions of tons “the most likely outcome is another decade of overcapacity and prices bumping … [continued]

By Harry Morgan, Rethink Energy, as abridged by David Waterworth The UK government has launched a £200 million investigation into the future of its road freight. Over a three-year period, it will look to understand economic advantages of hydrogen and electric trucks, as well as the infrastructure required to decarbonize … [continued]
It wasn’t that long ago that China was referred to as the sleeping giant. That giant has been awake for a while now and has become the manufacturing center of the world. China has also become a major global leader in solar installations and other forms of renewable energy. Now … [continued]
According to a recent article from UK energy forecasters — Rethink Energy — 2021 annual installations of global wind capacity (both onshore and offshore) of 93 gigawatts (GW) puts the world on track with the targets defined by GWEC to reach the renewable energy capacity levels required to limit climate … [continued]
Rethink energy’s new report entitled Annual Primary Electricity (APE 2.0) outlines how the granular, sector-by-sector approach to decarbonization across the globe will redefine not only how energy is traded, but who stands to benefit from the adoption of clean technologies as power demand triples over the coming decades? … Rethink … [continued]
