Energy Approval Challenges

Energy Security is significantly impacted by issues with approvals. As the Energy Transition progresses, the time it takes to get large renewable projects approved has lengthened considerably. As approval times lengthened, projects became more exposed to inflation of costs where economics were threatened. Some auction prices were too low to […]

Green Energy Modules to utilise Curtailed Electricity

Intermittent Renewables with curtailment issues due to Electrical Utility grid constraints can still provide value if the electricity is utilised other than by export to the grid. Green Energy Modules to produce Hydrogen or Ammonia that is able to be transported to other locations for use in local distributed energy […]

Electricity Grid Challenges

As discussed last week in last week’s posts on the Energy Transition, increased Electrification is required to support Decarbonisation. Not discussed very much in the press are Electrical Grid Challenges, but some articles are beginning to appear as writers get more informed. Without addressing these challenges quicker and without orders […]

Hybrid Geothermal and Green Hydrogen Developments

Geothermal Energy resources are found in tens of thousands of locations, however not all locations are conveniently located close to suitable electrical utility grids with good feed-in tariffs. One option is to use the electricity to produce some form of Green Hydrogen for road, rail, or pipeline export to market. […]

Standalone Power Systems for Remote Locations

Microgrids helping to mitigate Energy Poverty with Renewable Energies With the challenges of remote locations, either bad grid or off grid, the Standalone Power System concept is a potentially technically and commercially attractive solution. Energy Poverty of many of these locations in the Developing World is hindering the achievement of […]

Energy Transition #14 How an Extractive Industry Company can support the Energy Transition in Southern Africa

As we have read over previous articles, there are many aspects of the Energy Transition that are able to be readily adopted by Extractive Industry companies.  To recap, these are some of the recommended steps of the Energy Transition: Improve energy usage efficiencies; Reduce waste and GHG emissions; Implement Carbon […]

Energy Transition #13: Remote Island Communities and the Energy Transition

Vast oceans separate remote island communities who are often faced with energy poverty.  The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) calls these locations Small Island Developing States (SIDS)[1].  IRENA supports these communities to reduce their reliance on costly fuel imports by harnessing renewable energies to accelerate their Energy Transitions.  There are […]

Energy Transition #12: Remote Communities in Australia and the Energy Transition

Australia is a large country with vast distances between remote communities and national grids.  There is a shortage of long-distance electricity transmission lines, so these remote communities have had to rely on Distributed Power Generation which was historically Coal, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Diesel powered.  With the Energy Transition, […]

Energy Transition #11: Remote Communities in Canada and the Energy Transition

Canada is a large country with vast distances between remote communities and national grids.  There is a shortage of long-distance electricity transmission lines, so these remote communities have had to rely on Distributed Power Generation which was historically Coal, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Diesel powered.  With the Energy Transition, […]

Energy Transition #5: Energy Storage Systems for Microgrids

As we read previously, Energy Storage Systems are very important for the Energy Transition – most Renewables have “intermittency” which is interruptions to continuous energy generation due to various factors: Solar PV Power – adversely affected by clouds, precipitation, dust – anything in the atmosphere that reduces the solar radiation […]

Energy Transition #4: Microgrids and Digital Transformation

The Energy Sector is changing – projecting tremendously increasing electricity demand (both in access and as a substitute for other forms of energy consumption) along with major trends called the “three D’s”:  Decarbonisation, Decentralisation, and Digitalisation.  All three of these D’s are associated with Microgrids.  Microgrids are an attractive option […]
