Leeds-based C-Capture, a developer of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal technology, announced on May 9 that it had started a carbon capture trial in the cement manufacturing sector in partnership with Heidelberg Materials UK.
The UK is considering delaying support for some carbon capture projects until after this year as costs rise for the fledgling technology that’s critical to the country’s climate goals.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key component of the transition to a low-carbon economy. They enable the integration of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, into the grid by storing excess electricity when supply exceeds demand and releasing it when demand exceeds supply. They also provide a range of ancillary services, such as frequency regulation, voltage control and black start capability, that help maintain the stability and reliability of the grid.
Regulators and industry need to decouple the tidal and wave sectors as the two technologies diverge in terms of maturity and paths to market, new research has said.
The UK Government is seeking input on new ways to transport captured carbon dioxide (CO2) that could help to encourage the adoption of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) across different industries.
The UK government has decided not to progress work on a hydrogen heating town pilot scheme until after 2026, after a village trial in Redcar was scrapped in December.
Amid the steam rising around Iceland’s Hellisheioi station sits a newly built warehouse surrounded by giant fans run by carbon removal startup Climeworks. Dubbed Mammoth, the project is now the world’s biggest plant to suck carbon dioxide from the air.
A new Energy Voice documentary will answer key questions on the furor around Rosebank, the largest untapped find in UK waters and perhaps the most controversial oil field of recent times.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been called on to pause and review the developed of a potential turbine facility in Scotland being developed by Mingyang Smart Energy (LON:MYSE).
The share of global electricity from renewables rose to a record 30% last year as the growth of wind and solar power continued to far exceed that of fossil fuels.
The UK government has awarded a £196 million grant to build the first next generation nuclear fuel facility in Europe in a bid to further isolate Russia from global energy markets.
Vattenfall’s recent announcement that it was canning its hydrogen trial at the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre offshore Aberdeen has rather riled me.
Norway has yet again demonstrated that it really is a maritime technology leader with ferry company Torghatten Nord placing an order in-country for the construction of the largest hydrogen-fuel cell ships attempted anywhere.
Siemens Energy AG (FWB:ENR) shares jumped 14% after the company signaled its lucrative gas and electric grid businesses were no longer burdened by ongoing losses at its struggling wind-turbine unit.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a notice to offshore and onshore wind developers after a turbine technician was injured by a service lift.
Henrik Andersen is no stranger to crisis. A decade ago turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS) was in trouble when governments pulled back subsidies for renewable power.
