The EU Hails Plan to Build a Hydrogen Pipeline from North Africa to Europe

The European Union (EU) is backing a plan to build a hydrogen pipeline from North Africa to nations in the EU. The subsea pipeline would transport green hydrogen from Tunisia and Algeria to Germany, Italy, and Austria by the end of the decade, but many experts are apprehensive about the plan's feasibility. Ministers from Tunisia, Algeria, Italy, Austria, and Germany recently had a meeting in Rome to confirm their home countries’ intentions to build a 2,174 to 2,485 kilometers pipeline beneath the Mediterranean Sea. The plan is to connect hydrogen production facilities in Tunisia and Algeria with consumer hubs in…

Bottom-Up Projects Will Be Key to a Clean Energy Future in Cities

Citizen engagement and participation will be critical to achieving a clean energy future in cities across the world, experts say. Although transitioning to green energy will be one of the most significant infrastructure projects that humanity has ever undertaken, public awareness of the renewable energy transition is quite low. Bottom-up initiatives have especially low citizen participation rates and are barely in the public’s awareness, EUSEW Young Energy Ambassador Bettina Päri says. According to Päri, such bottom-up projects will be key to facilitating the full-scale change needed to reach the 100 Net-Zero-Cities target by the end of the decade. They provide…

Harnessing Tidal Energy Opens Additional Green Energy Option

The relatively unexplored field of wave and tidal energy could open the door to a new type of clean energy and increase the world’s portfolio of marine-based renewable energy sources. On the Canary Islands, a Norwegian firm called Ocean Oasis is combating water supply issues by using wave energy to convert saline seawater into freshwater. This novel type of clean energy will help the Canary Island region, which has become incredibly reliant on seawater desalination, to produce emission-free freshwater. Located off the West African coast, the Canary Islands have suffered severe water shortage issues amidst significant pressure on its natural…
