Renewable Energy Directive Industry Target in Europe

Renewable Energy Directive Industry Target in Europe

July 8, 2024 | , ,

On 20 November 2023, Directive 2023/2413 as regards to the promotion of energy from renewable sources (REDIII) entered into force, thereby amending the previous Directive 2018/2001 (REDII). The new directive aims to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the industry sector, as well as to decarbonise industrial emissions (recitals 59-61). Thus, it introduces notable changes by mandating the sector to increase the contribution of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RNFBO). More specifically, under art. 22a(1), para. 5, an obligation is placed on Member States to ensure that by 2030, RFNBO makeup at least 42% of hydrogen used for final energy and non-energy purposes in industry, rising to 60% by 2035.

Distributed Green Ammonia Roadmap for Minnesota: Report

Distributed Green Ammonia Roadmap for Minnesota: Report

July 5, 2024 | , , ,

Minnesota is uniquely positioned to take advantage of DGA. The current centralized ammonia production system can provide farmers with low-cost fertilizer, but also exposes farmers to price volatility and supply chain disruptions. Localized, distributed ammonia production can complement the existing system to hedge against negative outcomes as well as reduce emissions from fertilizer production.

Establishing Clean Steel Supply in the UK: Report

Establishing Clean Steel Supply in the UK: Report

July 5, 2024 | , , ,

A more supportive policy framework and public investment of just £2.1–3.5bn can put the UK on the path to a clean steel future that supports both the economy and people. UK steel demand is set to grow 26% by 2030. As an extremely carbon-intensive material – production making up 2.4% of the UK’s territorial emissions – it is crucial that the UK decarbonise its steel supply to mitigate the impacts of climate change. A brighter future for UK steel is possible.

What Is There to Debate About U.S. Clean Hydrogen Incentives?

What Is There to Debate About U.S. Clean Hydrogen Incentives?

July 1, 2024 | ,

Hydrogen has the potential to become a transformational decarbonization solution for many parts of the U.S. economy. It can be used as clean burning fuel, an energy storage medium or a feedstock for manufacturing processes. However, hydrogen’s promise to help reduce emissions depends on whether it’s “clean” — which means it’s produced with zero to little emissions, reducing emissions overall instead of adding to them. Deploying clean hydrogen still faces significant obstacles, including the insufficient availability of clean power.
