EU Clean Energy Transition Plan Encounters Resistance from Atomic Energy Advocates

The European Union has encountered a new challenge in its quest to replace fossil fuels with various renewable alternatives; resistance from pro-nuclear energy governments. With solar and wind acting as the main alternatives and the driving force in the EU’s green energy drive, pro-nuclear regimes in the regional bloc say they will not support a green energy goal that doesn't include atomic energy. The 27 states that make up the European Union have different views on nuclear energy, a controversial type of energy that generates no greenhouse gas emissions but is widely avoided due to the toxic waste it produces…

Wind Energy is Facing Significant Headwinds in the Energy Transition

Wind energy has recently faced a series of setbacks that have left many experts wondering whether the renewables industry could ramp up wind energy production fast enough to help the world meet its green energy goals. One of the main renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, wind energy has drawn significant investment in recent years and is a key component of national and global plans to ditch fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, wind has run into several hurdles that have raised important questions about the future of wind energy. Despite the environmental benefits onshore and offshore wind energy…

Trump’s Administration is Likely to Welcome All Energy Options

Despite President-elect Donald Trump's outspoken criticism of renewable energy, a growing number of experts believe that the second Trump administration is likely to pursue an "all-of-the-above” energy strategy that encompasses both fossil fuels and clean energy. Several key figures in the incoming president's inner circle have discussed using such an approach to advance America's energy plans, a major indication that Trump's impact on the country's burgeoning green energy sector may not be as bad as previously feared. The Biden administration championed the use of renewables instead of fossil fuels and spent billions of dollars trying to build the country's green…

Rosneft Boss Says High Costs, Elusive Targets are Compromising Investment in Clean Energy

Rosneft Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin says high costs coupled with elusive targets are driving investors away from the burgeoning green energy industry. During a recent United Arab Emirates conference, the head of the largest oil producer in Russia noted that the green transition is losing investors due to a critical lack of financing coupled with astronomical costs and elusive green energy targets. Igor Sechin’s opinion on climate change is controversial; he says scientists have overestimated humanity's role in climate change and has expressed skepticism of the global green agenda. But despite the West's determination to ditch fossil fuels for…

EC Boosts Clean Energy by Launching Second Hydrogen Auction

The European Commission (EC) has launched a second hydrogen auction to boost clean energy projects and help build the world's renewable energy capacity. The $1.26 billion hydrogen auction had a notably expanded budget compared to the first hydrogen auction and was launched under the European Hydrogen Bank. This second auction is meant to boost the production of Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) in the European Economic Area (EEA). Renewable hydrogen is expected to play a major role in the European Union’s transition to clean energy alongside solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy. The second hydrogen auction began on December…

The Role of BESS in the Clean Energy Transition

The global transition to renewables will be heavily reliant on battery energy storage systems (BESS) to overcome green energy's intermittent nature. While renewables like wind and solar have the potential to generate enough capacity to cover most of the world's energy needs, they can only be generated at 100% efficiency during certain times of the day and under optimal weather conditions. BESS refers to energy storage facilities or massive batteries that can charge up when clean energy is abundant and cheap, storing the energy for later use when demand spikes. Combining renewable sources of energy with battery storage is one…

What the Allegations Against Adani Group Suggest About India’s Renewable Energy Push

The U.S. recently charged Adani Group founder Gautam Adani with bribery and fraud allegations in one of the most significant challenges Adani Group has faced since its founding. As Adani is a key player in India's energy sector and was one of the companies expected to aid the Asian country's transition to clean energy, the charges paint a poor picture of India's renewable energy drive. American authorities claim that after one of Gautam Adani's firms spent several years trying to sell a $6 billion project with no success, Adani’s billionaire CEO devised a scheme to provide Indian state officials with…
