We continue to look for new and innovative ways to change the future of natural gas – Rimere’s groundbreaking technology decarbonizes the natural gas infrastructure and produces zero-emission hydrogen and high-value graphene while doing so.   “Clean Energy has always been striving to address environmental issues since it was founded over 26 years ago. - It is a logical next step to make this investment in Rimere which is tackling the challenges facing the natural gas and hydrogen industries to produce cost-effective solutions without emissions,” Andrew Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean Energy.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dZSWyaTg

In the journey toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future, refractories are a essential yet often under-recognized contributor to renewable energy projects. From biomass power plants to concentrated solar power and advanced battery storage, high-performance refractories play a crucial role in maintaining the extreme heat and chemical resilience required in these demanding environments. The durability and versatility of monolithic refractories, such as those developed by United Refractories, allow for safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting operations across industries transitioning to greener energy sources. High alumina, zirconia, and other advanced materials are invaluable for applications where heat and energy transfer efficiency make all the difference. With our 4U Service Model - responsive support, on-site installation assistance, emergency orders, and quality control data - United Refractories is proud to be part of this industry transformation, providing solutions that support both operational and environmental sustainability.

I came across a really interesting video on cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels that I just had to share. As someone working in the energy sector and always curious about new technologies, it’s exciting to see how CdTe is emerging as a strong alternative to traditional silicon panels. These panels are thinner, perform better in high temperatures, and pay back their energy costs faster. What’s especially impressive is how companies like First Solar are driving improvements, making CdTe panels more efficient and sustainable. They might soon become a game-changer for solar farms and large-scale projects. I also see a potential opportunity for Indonesia here (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM)). With new smelters like Gresik coming online, there’s a chance to recover tellurium, a rare byproduct of copper refining that’s essential for CdTe technology. It could be a great way for Indonesia to align with the global shift towards more sustainable energy solutions. If you’re interested in energy tech and the future of renewables, I recommend checking out the video. It offers some great insights into a technology that could help shape the next phase of the energy transition. #SolarEnergy #Renewables #EnergyTransition #CdTe #Indonesia #CleanEnergy #SustainableTechnology #GreenEnergy #CopperMining #TechInnovation #FutureOfEnergy #ClimateSolutions #EnergyEfficiency

In Queensland, we're advancing towards our goal of 80% renewable energy by 2035. But it's not just about generating renewable power; we're equally committed to the considered approach of energy storage, with batteries playing a vital role. At present, our renewable energy storage largely relies on lithium-ion batteries. However, this represents only a part of Queensland's diverse and robust battery ecosystem. Alongside lithium-ion, we're exploring technologies such as vanadium redox flow batteries, which utilise minerals abundant within our state. Vanadium flow batteries are set to be manufactured out of North Queensland, under a new agreement between three major companies—Idemitsu Australia Pty Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries Carbide Australia (SEI) and Vecco Group—with the plan to have an end-to-end vanadium flow battery manufacturing supply chain. Our colleagues at Department of State Development and Infrastructure, spoke with Queensland’s Chief Government Geologist Tony Knight to shed light on how we are leveraging vanadium's unique qualities—especially its capacity for long-duration storage and its infinite recyclability.

Liquid N2 technology to abate CH4 emissions from pneumatic devices.... This is impressive work from Northeast Natural Energy, using Kathairos Solutions’ liquid nitrogen system to reduce methane emissions at well sites.    We know that methane emissions from the oil and gas industry are low-hanging fruit since the industry has the tools to avoid these emissions.   Kudos to NNE and all the MiQ - Methane Intelligence operators for using this technology. The industry must embrace all credible technologies and methods to eliminate methane this decade.

☀ 🌱 VTT’s pilot hybrid dryer combines solar collectors and a heat pump in an efficient and flexible way to dry biomass. 💡 Various drying modes, such as solar alone, pump alone or solar and pump together, can be applied, depending on the availability of solar irradiation and electricity prices. 👍 The control system allows flexibility between different operating modes.

I am going through my slides for the opening speech to the Karlsruher Wärmepumpen Symposium. One thing I will say: We have come a long way. In a Commission whitepaper from 1997! #heatpumps are merely a sidenote: "Turning to heat pumps, those installed to date mostly use electricity or fuel as the necessary driving energy input. A new generation make use of heat exchangers installed some 100m underground which thus exploit naturally stored solar energy and some intrinsic heat from the earth itself already at such a depth. A total of 60,000 geothermal heat pumps were installed in 1995 in the European Union, most of them in 43 Sweden representing 8% of the capacity for all types. Assuming that this total installed heat pump capacity will be tripled by 2010 in EU15 and that the market share of geothermal heat pumps will double to reach 15%, gives an estimated achievable total capacity of 2.5 GWth by 2010." https://lnkd.in/eyTyABCg I wonder who wrote that paper originally ...
