    World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm To Power UK 'Gigastack' Green Hydrogen Facility
    https://www.intelligentliving.co/worlds-largest-offshore-wind-uk-gigastack-green-hydrogen/

    The largest offshore wind farm in the world – Ørsted’s 1.4GW Hornsea 2 – is almost ready. When it is, it will power the production of green hydrogen under a program called the “Gigastack” project, which was newly-awarded additional funding of £7.5m ($9.7m) by the UK government. Green hydrogen is seen as the ‘missing link’ in the energy transition. While it is growing in popularity, offshore wind is simultaneously emerging as a critical potential power source for producing it in bulk.

    Meanwhile, phase 2 of the Gigastack industrial-scale green H2 (hydrogen) facility is in the works. The project is a collaboration between Danish wind giant Ørsted, Element Energy, Phillips 66 Limited, and ITM Power, who will lead the undertaking. Their goal is to deliver zero-carbon hydrogen using ‘stackable’ 5MW electrolyzers – ones produced in gigawatt-scale factories for large-scale generation. The electrolyzers will “split” hydrogen from water via an electrical current supplied by offshore wind farms.

    ...

    The zero-carbon green hydrogen produced can be used for long-term energy storage and as a replacement for fossil fuels in transport, industrial processes, and heating. Clean hydrogen could help make the entire global energy system carbon-free.

    ...

    Industrial sectors, such as metal manufacturers, are beginning to explore the benefits of renewable hydrogen as an alternative fuel and power source. Gigastack could further accelerate that trend by bringing costs down on an industrial scale.



    Gigastack Feasibility Study with Ørsted
    https://www.itm-power.com/...hydrogen-through-gigawatt-scale-pem-electrolysis-manufactured-in-the-uk

    In Phase One (feasibility), ITM Power will develop the designs and finalise the material requirements to deliver a low-cost 5MW stack. ITM Power will also refine concepts to maximise the throughput of the proposed semi-automated manufacturing facility to meet the demands of bulk hydrogen supply. Ørsted will investigate potential synergies between offshore wind farms and electrolysers to identify scenarios that can provide affordable electricity and a sufficient load factor to allow economic operation of the electrolysers. Finally, Element Energy will conduct market analysis of potential end users, explore business models for the operation of large electrolysers in the energy system and define a roll-out strategy for the first 100MW electrolysers.

    In Phase Two, the 5MW stack would be built and tested both in-house and in a representative wind-hydrogen scenario. Construction of the semi-automated manufacturing facility would also begin. Finally, the business case for large electrolysers would be refined, enabling commercialisation.

    This project is a unique opportunity to develop green hydrogen production for the UK and establish the country as a centre of excellence in electrolytic technology. A portfolio of solutions are required to ensure reliable volumes of hydrogen and security of supply and this study will advance the development of green electrolytic hydrogen.

    Green Hydrogen Is About To Go Mainstream | OilPrice.com
    https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Green-Hydrogen-Is-About-To-Go-Mainstream.html

    experts are predicting that the biggest obstacle to bringing green hydrogen to market--its capital cost--is about to come down. “Everybody is predicting that the cost curve will come down, just as it has with solar and wind power,” Recharge News wrote last month. The article titled “Why green hydrogen is key to the global energy transition” continues: “Though, to get the price point right, you have to reach economies of scale. Then it’s just a matter of when the industry is primed to take the next step.” involvement from major players like Royal Dutch Shell is already getting us closer to that threshold.

    And now, we may be even closer thanks to a breakthrough this month by a group of Japanese scientists from the Tokyo University of Science, who have managed to efficiently produce green hydrogen in a novel way

    ...

    “the set-up uses just a few basic ingredients - light from a mercury-xenon lamp, a solution of water and methanol, and a particular type of rust (or iron oxide) called α-FeOOH.” In the lab, this combination was a smashing success, with a hydrogen yield 25 times greater than existing methods that use titanium dioxide catalysts.

    “One of the biggest challenges in hydrogen fuel production is teasing hydrogen atoms apart from other molecules, and keeping them that way without the entire thing blowing up,” the Science Alert article continues. “In the new method, by swapping titanium with rust, the hydrogen gas generated seemed to be blocked from recoupling with oxygen, making the separation of the elements easier, and reducing the risk of explosion at the same time.”

    This cheap, stable catalyst combo could be the winning ticket to get green hydrogen to market. If so, this would have seriously positive implications for some of our dirtier industries, and any reduction in emissions is a very good thing on the eve of peak oil and catastrophic climate change.

    * Hope in a changing climate (film)


    * Ecosystem Based Adaptation - by John D. Liu

    our religious cosmologies all say that that that human beings emerged in paradise and if I look at evolution and I consider that there's a photo reactive biochemical reaction that converts sunlight and water and nutrients into life and that this respirates and obviously created an oxygenated atmosphere and a fully functional freshwater system and fertile soils and tremendous biodiversity, it seems to me that in evolutionary terms human beings emerged in paradise. So I think that's why I don't find a difference between the religious cosmologies and evolution

    ...

    the four returns -- return of inspiration, return of social capital, return of natural capital, and return of financial capital. To achieve these four returns we develop three landscape zones - a natural zone in which biodiversity is restored and maintained, a combined zone which is rehabilitated with farmers working the land, and an economic zone for sustainable business activity. It takes an average of 20 years - in other words a generation - to restore a landscape. If we start now, we will create the basis for a different world. This is what inspires us.

    Why doesn't Britain value its farmers? - UnHerd
    https://unherd.com/2020/03/why-doesnt-britain-value-its-farmers/

    Less than a month ago, a UK government advisor, Professor Tim Leunig, was quoted in leaked emails as saying we didn’t need farmers, because the value of their output was a tiny share of the UK economy and we could import all the food we needed, perhaps at lower prices.

    And for the past decade, a virulent strain of anti-farming environmentalism, led by noisy hard-Left radicals such as George Monbiot, has argued for us to turn away from farming towards producing food in synthetic industrial ways (with the promised pay-off of freeing more land for wild nature). This ‘land-sparing’ obsession embraces the worst industrial farming and corporate food systems.

    Ochrana klimatu musí být součástí plánu pro zotavení evropské ekonomiky, shodují se premiéři EU – EURACTIV.cz
    https://euractiv.cz/...si-byt-soucasti-planu-pro-zotaveni-evropske-ekonomiky-shoduji-se-premieri-eu/

    Ochrana klimatu a digitalizace evropské ekonomiky jsou mezi šesti hlavními prioritami Evropské komise pod vedením Ursuly von der Leyenové. Přestože koronavirová krize zásadně ovlivnila práci unijních institucí, podle premiérů a prezidentů členských zemí by Unie neměla na své původní plány zapomínat.

    Vyplývá to ze čtvrtečních závěrů videosummitu Evropské rady. Šéfové vlád ve společném prohlášení uvedli, že boj proti koronaviru a jeho bezprostředním následkům je naléhavý, EU by však měla začít připravovat opatření, která umožní „návrat do normálu“. Opatření by podle nich měla zajistit udržitelný růst a zohlednit „aspekty ekologické a digitální transformace“.

    Antarctica: what it means when the coldest place on Earth records an unprecedented heatwave | World news | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/...ans-when-the-coldest-place-on-earth-records-an-unprecedented-heatwave

    This summer, Casey Research Station, in the Windmill Islands oasis, experienced its first recorded heatwave. For three days, minimum temperatures exceeded zero and daily maximums were all above 7.5C. On 24 January, its highest maximum of 9.2C was recorded, almost 7C above Casey’s 30-year mean for the month.

    The arrival of warm, moist air during this weather event brought rain to Davis Research Station in the normally frigid, ice-free desert of the Vestfold Hills. The warm conditions triggered extensive meltwater pools and surface streams on local glaciers. These, together with melting snowbanks, contributed to high-flowing rivers and flooding lakes.

    By February, most heat was concentrated in the Antarctic Peninsula at the northernmost part of the continent. A new Antarctic maximum temperature of 18.4C was recorded on 6 February at Argentina’s Esperanza research station on the peninsula – almost 1C above the previous record. Three days later this was eclipsed when 20.75C was reported at Brazil’s Marambio station, on Seymour Island east of the peninsula.

    Ledovce tají rychleji, než se čekalo. Velký korálový útes opět masivně vymírá - Radek Kubala
    https://denikreferendum.cz/...ce-taji-rychleji-nez-se-cekalo-velky-koralovy-utes-opet-masivne-vymira

    Klimatičtí výzkumníci zároveň upozorňují, že současné restrikce zavedené vládami v důsledku pandemie ztěžují pokračování výzkumu dopadů klimatické krize. Kvůli šíření nemoci Covid-19 se ruší konference a vědci nemohou studovat v terénu.

    Například jen výše zmíněný grónský ledovec navštíví ročně tisícovka vědců, kteří zkoumají jeho proměny. Ruší se i výzkumné cesty do Arktidy a omezit se musela i největší výzkumná polární expedice MOSAiC, na které se podílí vědci z dvaceti států. Vědci upozorňují, že pokud budou restrikce pokračovat ještě několik měsíců, tak ztratíme cenná data o vývoji nárůstu hladiny oceánů.

    „Nejistota v rychlosti nárůstu hladiny oceánů může být potenciálně velmi nebezpečná, protože nebudeme schopní varovat vlády a ostrovní státy, jak rychle se mají připravit na hrozící krizi,“ uvedla pro Inside Climate News dánská paleoklimatoložka Dorthe Dahl-Jensenová. Právě její dlouho připravovaná expedice nazvaná EastGRIP měla prokázat, jak mořské proudy ovlivňují rychlost tání. Kvůli restriktivním opatřením musela být prozatím zrušena.

    Vědci se také obávají, že současná krize zastíní dopady změn klimatu. Na konci letošního roku se má ve skotském Glasgow konat klimatická konference, která má opět patřit k těm důležitějším. Státy by totiž na ní měly přinést nové závazky ke snižování emisí skleníkových plynů.

    For those that thought the #COVID19 lockdowns would effect CO₂ concentrations, well, last week CO₂ had a big spike!

    CO₂ is still being emitted, at a slightly lower rate, so CO₂ concentrations will continue to grow (with variability superimposed).

    TADEAS: No, na tohle jsem zvedavej. Ty spekulace kolem zadluzenosti frackovaciho byznysu jsou uz nejakej patek, ale zatim se mu podarilo ustat i dost velky cenovy soky. Na druhou stranu, kdyby shale industry padl, tak to (jeste v dnesni situaci) bude slusny domino, pro ktery by asi byla 2008 krize takovy maly cviceni...

    The real catalyst of the shale revolution was the 2008 financial crisis and the era of unprecedentedly low interest rates it ushered in,” he wrote in a recent report. Another investor put it this way: “If companies were forced to live within the cash flow they produce, US oil would not be a factor in the rest of the world, and would have grown at a quarter to half the rate that it has.”
    Worries about the financial fragility of the fracking revolution have simmered for some time. John Hempton, who runs the Australia-based hedge fund Bronte Capital, recalls having debates with his partner as the boom was just getting going. “The oil and gas are real,” his partner would say. “Yes,” Hempton would respond, “but the economics don’t work.”
    Thus far, the fracking industry has been more resilient than anyone would have dreamed. But questions about the sustainability of the boom are no longer limited to a small set of skeptics. Those doubts now extend to the boardrooms of some big investors, as well as to the executive suites of at least a few of the fracking companies themselves. The fracking boom has been fuelled mostly by overheated investment capital, not by cash flow.

    Analysts have calculated that the US oil industry, which expanded in the last decade to make America the world's top oil producer, could contract as much as 2.5m b/d by the end of 2021, from around 13m b/d of crude output now.

    The world already has too much oil. But now it’s running out of room to store it.
    As the oil sector faces down decimated demand resulting from the coronavirus as well as the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, which has unleashed still more oil, prices have plunged more than 50% from their recent high in late February. That price drop now threatens untold numbers of jobs, and even the financial fate of whole companies and regions reliant on revenue from the sector.
