The dash for green electricity
The global push for green electricity is accelerating, with the International Energy Agency predicting a tripling of clean energy output by 2030. Europe leads the charge, with significant investments and regulatory reforms to boost wind and solar power. The USA's Inflation Reduction Act aims to cut CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030, focusing on offshore wind. The Middle East, traditionally low in green power, is seeing a surge in solar and wind projects, while Africa and Australia are also ramping up their renewable energy efforts. Innovations like floating solar plants, agrivoltaics, and advanced geothermal systems are addressing land use and energy intermittency issues. Despite challenges in storage technology, green hydrogen and CO2-based storage solutions offer promising alternatives. Key players like Enel, EDP, Iberdrola, and Masdar are at the forefront of these developments, driving the transition to a more sustainable energy future.

Europe is spending millions to trap carbon. Where will it go?
Europe is investing heavily in carbon capture technology to meet its climate neutrality goals by 2050, but faces challenges in finding adequate storage solutions. The North Sea region, particularly Denmark and the Netherlands, currently dominates the industry, raising concerns about regional disparities and dependency on non-EU countries for storage. The EU aims to distribute storage sites more evenly across the continent and has proposed a binding target of 50 million tons of CO2 storage by 2030. However, the plan faces controversy, particularly regarding the role of oil and gas producers in achieving these targets. The outcome of these efforts will significantly impact Europe's industrial competitiveness and environmental goals.

'Failed' offshore wind farm auction could cost bill payers £2 billion
The article discusses the UK government's renewable power auctions, specifically for offshore wind farms, and the recent failure to secure new contracts. It explains how the 'Contracts for Difference' scheme works and the criticism from environmental groups and industry experts over the low fixed price set by the government, which has not kept up with inflation. The article cites Ørsted and RenewableUK, highlighting the potential £2 billion savings on energy bills if the auction had been successful. It also references the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit and the International Renewable Energy Agency to emphasize the cost-saving impact of renewables globally. The failure of the auction is expected to lead to higher energy bills for consumers and could undermine the UK's position as a leader in offshore wind energy.

From black to green: How an oil-and-gas company pivoted to embrace wind energy — and is now raking in billions
Ørsted, originally an oil-and-gas company, successfully transitioned to become the world's largest producer of offshore wind energy, demonstrating that large energy companies can pivot to renewable energy profitably. The company's transformation was driven by leadership, strategic mergers, and government support. Despite the broader energy sector's slow progress, Ørsted's journey shows that significant change is possible. Experts argue that other major energy companies can follow suit, though they face challenges and mixed opinions from activists. The article highlights the importance of innovation, leadership, and policy support in achieving a low-carbon future.

Orsted and ESB to work together on Irish offshore wind portfolio
Orsted and ESB have formed a partnership to develop an offshore wind portfolio in Ireland, aiming to deliver up to 5 GW of renewable energy. This collaboration is part of Ireland's broader strategy to meet 80% of its electricity demand from renewables by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. The first project will compete in the upcoming Irish offshore wind auction, ORESS 2.1. Jim Dollard of ESB emphasized the importance of this partnership in achieving their net-zero goals.

UK storm unleashes record level of electricity from wind investment
Storm Bella in December led to a record 50.67% of the UK's electricity being generated from wind power, thanks to increased investment in wind energy. The UK hosts the world's largest wind farm, Hornsea One, and will soon surpass it with Hornsea Two, operated by Danish company Orsted. The UK coastline's ideal conditions for wind energy have facilitated the growth of both offshore and onshore wind farms. Government support and subsidies have been crucial in reducing costs and encouraging investment, aiming for 40 GW of wind power by 2030 and net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The transition to wind energy will require significant infrastructure changes, including more storage solutions.

Wind project may ‘adversely affect,’ but not likely to ‘jeopardize,’ endangered marine life, agency says
A planned wind energy project off the shore of Atlantic City is likely to adversely affect but not jeopardize endangered marine life, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The project, which includes 98 wind turbines, has faced scrutiny from opponents linking it to marine life deaths along the Jersey Shore. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and NOAA have found no credible evidence connecting the project to these deaths. Environmental groups and officials remain divided, with some advocating for the project's environmental benefits and others calling for further investigation into its impacts.

Greenpeace slams Denmark’s OK of new oil production as out of line with climate goals
Greenpeace Denmark has filed a legal complaint against the Danish Energy Agency's approval of Ineos' oil extraction plans in the Hejre field, arguing it contradicts Denmark's climate commitments. The approval, based on a longstanding license, has faced criticism for lacking updated environmental assessments. Greenpeace aims to halt the project, citing potential climate impacts and drawing parallels to a successful legal challenge in Norway. The Danish Energy Agency defends the decision, highlighting Ineos' comprehensive environmental strategy. The outcome of the complaint is pending.

Offshore Wind Industry Gets New Tax Credits
The Biden administration has introduced new rules allowing offshore wind developers to claim a tax credit, particularly if their facilities are in areas historically dependent on fossil fuel industries. This is part of the Inflation Reduction Act's climate change laws, offering a base 30% credit and an additional 10% for projects in 'energy communities.' Connecticut's State Pier, developed into a hub for the offshore wind industry, is used by Orsted and Eversource for their projects. Senator Richard Blumenthal and DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes have expressed support for the initiative, which aligns with Biden's plan to decarbonize the US power grid.

Price of offshore wind power at record low
The price of offshore wind power in the UK has reached a record low, with developers agreeing to build new farms at £37.35 per MWh. This reduction is part of a broader effort to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, especially in light of the global gas shortages exacerbated by Russia's war on Ukraine. The UK government has secured electricity from 93 renewable projects, including offshore and onshore wind, solar, and tidal stream power, expected to come online between 2024 and 2027. The initiative is part of a strategy to increase offshore wind capacity five-fold, supported by government guarantees on electricity prices. Key players like Vattenfall and Orsted have been awarded contracts, and industry representatives have praised the move towards low-cost clean power.

A new land for energy and data
The world is moving towards renewable energy, with the UN stating that global emissions need to be halved by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 to mitigate climate change. Energy islands are emerging as a solution for offshore wind energy, with Denmark's Energy Agency leading the construction of two such islands in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The North Sea island will be artificial, while the Baltic Sea island will utilize Bornholm. Both will convert wind energy to electricity and potentially other forms of energy. Danish company Ørsted and the VindØ consortium are among the bidders for these projects. Additionally, Belgium's TM Edison is constructing an energy island in the North Sea. These projects involve advanced technologies and aim to significantly contribute to the green energy transition in Northern Europe.
