Who said ''There is nothing going on in Summer in Barcelona?'' 🤔 We are on fire 🔥 , both from the heat, and also from, our active work 😅 ! Our Startup/Investor Open Coffee series also (running now for almost 3 years) continues, with sold-out status across summer. Here is from our last-of-July, and the August Open Coffees. 🎉 Let's celebrate all the great entrepreneurs and investors, who joined us for an Open Cofee ☕ Ireen Hyppothenusa Charlotte Weber Take a Photo Walk Killian S.

Wednesday night we've spent at a very good place called Big Bang (Carrer d'En Botella, 7, Barcelona). Our friend Ian Filiarovskii played a piano his own music! Nice place to visit!

Energy storage profits by buying energy when it’s cheap and selling it when it’s expensive, a practice known as energy arbitrage. Solar advocates hoped batteries would solve the significant issue of solar intermittency, but the reality has been quite the opposite. What went wrong? They believed renewables were central to the grid, with everything revolving around solar and wind. However, batteries have emerged as competitors rather than allies to solar energy. This isn’t surprising, as it’s more profitable for batteries to charge at night when wholesale energy prices are lower. California, an early adopter of grid battery deployment, has doubled its energy storage capacity from 6 GW in 2021 to 12 GW in just two years, now accounting for 25% of peak power demand. Advocates of intermittent sources plus batteries expected a significant reduction in curtailment with this costly battery expansion. Contrarily, curtailment surged by 62% in the last two years, while solar and wind production remained static at 26% of California's energy generation since 2021 (https://lnkd.in/dA7mE3d3), suggesting that the significant rise in curtailment is due to the integration of batteries into the California grid. The bottom line is clear: batteries finance themselves through energy arbitrage, indifferent to the source of the electrons, most of which come from gas—the true beneficiary of the solar and wind debacle. The fossil fuel industry benefits greatly from the inconsistency of solar and wind for multiple reasons. A more economical and effective solution against fossil fuel power sources would be a combination of nuclear, hydro, and geothermal energy, which provide clean and reliable power capable of replacing fossil fuels permanently. Countries like France, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland exemplify the cleanest grids, none of which rely heavily on intermittent power sources. How long will it take for the government to recognize the failure of this misguided solar and wind energy experiment?

We as Gas to Charger are glad to inform, that we are participating in a great event happening these days on 5, 6, 7th of June called SIL https://lnkd.in/dmp-Sb_G! Let's meet there! You are welcome!

🇹🇳 TE H2 has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with VERBUND AG, Austria's leading electricity company, and the Republic of #Tunisia to study the implementation of a large green #hydrogen project named "H2 Notos"!   It aims to produce green hydrogen using electrolysers powered by large onshore #wind 🌬️ and #solar ☀️ projects and supplied with desalinated sea water. The ambition is to generate 200,000 tons of #greenhydrogen annually during the initial phase, with the potential to scale up production to one million tons per year in South Tunisia. The project will have access to the European market through the “SoutH2 Corridor”, a hydrogen pipeline project connecting North #Africa to Italy, Austria, and Germany, which is expected to be commissioned around 2️⃣0️⃣3️⃣0️⃣.
