Much attention is spent on hydrogen pipelines in the energy transition, but did you know that the US also has 100s of kms of ammonia pipeline? lnkd.in/e3tiSJmT

A lot of noise is is made about the fact China is building coal fired power stations. However those stations will either replace low efficiency power stations, or, like the infamous ghost cities, sit slowly decaying as monuments to…lnkd.in/g-ZF5fsg lnkd.in/g3Zpepxu

We often see cost reductions in renewables as a function of time. This is not exactly right. Cost reductions are a function of how much we install. This of course, takes time, but by installing rapidly, we can cut costs and carbon much faster, as this flo…lnkd.in/eiuMaxkv

It makes zero sense to talk about the “costs” of avoiding climate change, when the costs of business as usual are so much higher. If the ecosystem collapses so will society including the entire economy. on.ft.com/3lVEsZn

Too much effort is going into comercializing (non nature based) carbon removal, far too early. “Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.” lnkd.in/e4ubmgeN

It’s worth considering the place of high cost producers in a world that will be increasingly over-supplied with crude. Note that OPEC+ cuts are larger than entire U.K. production. The oil endgame likely belongs to low cost producer…lnkd.in/ewS9FD4y lnkd.in/eUYMtrpQ

Great things are possible when we really try. Last year was a massive step towards a renewable future. lnkd.in/eeViP5Vu

Exploiting Ireland's huge wind resource presents a huge opportunity for European energy security. Distances mean that offshore grid connections to neighbouring countries will have challenging economics. Therefore, hydrogen will lik…lnkd.in/eCTbrgER lnkd.in/ex8x46ie

Great to be getting attention. Being based in Rotterdam has given us a huge amount of access to people who think big on marine engineering and energy system decarbonisation. lnkd.in/euR2-awe

This is a fantastic visualization of wind shadowing (AKA wake losses). This is a major reason to develop floating, as floating developers can win the “race for space” and benefit from the strength of virgin winds. Distributed hydrogen production will be c…lnkd.in/eKNwPARr

The Energy Transition will require vast quantities of hydrogen. The race to deliver this zero carbon energy by combining wind and electrolysis technology is rapidly hotting up. lnkd.in/eWP8wmRf

Few can comprehend the impacts of the solar tsunami that is coming out of China. The rate of acceleration is astounding and this will have disruptive effects across the energy industry. lnkd.in/dU7mHijw

Hydrogen is not a silver bullet that can solve every problem. Heat storage is the low hanging fruit of the Long Duration Energy Storage the world needs to get to Net-Zero. It’s great to see the UK investing piloting this technology. lnkd.in/dMTETUDh

Is this the biggest thing to happen in offshore wind in 20 years? Some claim that keeping the generator closer to the sea will unlock a new paradigm in economics for the next generation of ultra-large wind turbines. lnkd.in/d_pPVaYF
