SBN Detroit’s Post

Watch the LG Pro Cast with Phillip Kriegbaum, David Hazel, LG's Senior Business Development Manager, and Susanne DesRoches, NYSERDA VP, Clean and Resilient Buildings, to explore the ways NYSERDA is championing clean energy initiatives. They dive into the resources created by NYSERDA aimed at educating builders and contractors on energy sustainability. Plus, explore how the grid is evolving in response to the nationwide shift towards electrification and share strategies for updating buildings with clean energy solutions.

Delighted to have been asked to join Fiona Stalker on the BBC Radio Scotland drivetime show last week to talk about some of the challenges facing the decommissioning industry in the UKCS (skip to 16 minutes in to the show at the link below). Decommissioning is a major growth area in the sector. We forecast around US$58 billion (real terms) of decommissioning spend across the UK upstream sector in the coming decades. However, it’s not without its challenges. Huge costs, technical and environmental hurdles to overcome and of course it all has to be done in a safe and controlled manner. There is a real risk of a squeeze through all areas of the supply chain as demand increases and availability of resources tightens. Wood Mackenzie recently published an Insight looking at what risks the acceleration of decommissioning could mean for the industry and the government, especially financially (press release available below). Decommissioning will not be without its challenges and there are headwinds the industry will have to deal with. #upstream #decommissioning #northsea #BBCradio https://lnkd.in/e5z_StxS https://lnkd.in/eHgUuvN2

'They have to produce a lot of electricity, and we'll make it possible for them to get that production done very easily at their own plants if they want, where they will build energy generation' Baseload power for AI Data Centers has been talked about the last couple of months in the biogas community. These particular “Stargate” projects sound collosal, I suspect natural gas is the solution for speed and reliability. Electricity derived from biomethane (or hydrogen too) can equally be developed quickly for reliable and localised baseload generation…if there was a financially viable low carbon demand. Will be interesting to see how the UK/EU reacts https://lnkd.in/eKWh-z4C

A couple of thoughts about rolling out electric vehicle charging infrastructure, inspired by listening to today's excellent Green Finance Institute webinar starring Juliet Flamank, Jade Edwards, Prof Colin Herron CBE and Charlie Gilbert. We need more chargers of the right spec, deployed in the right places, and we need those chargers to be available when drivers need them. With that in mind: 1) Grid connections for public charging hubs should be prioritised for sites that feature dynamic load management, such that power is shared efficiently across multiple charging bays to factor in the differing charging speeds of different EVs which, in turn, reduces the size of grid connection required. See here for an example of how dynamic load management works and how it can reduce the size of grid connection required: https://lnkd.in/evm78-Ng 2) Charging an EV to 100% on a rapid charger not only takes up more of the driver's time than is necessary, but causes queues.  Consideration should be made towards means to encourage drivers to move off of rapid chargers once the charging power ramps down considerably at high State of Charge (typically above 80% SOC), and user feedback sought on the proposed approaches. For example, a conditional stop could be applied on rapid chargers, e.g. IF SOC >80% AND charge power <25 kW. Similarly this condition could be used not to *stop* the charge, but to *switch* to a much higher tariff, so drivers can still charge to 100% SOC on a rapid charger, but they'll be financially encouraged to move on much sooner than this since the last few % SOC shall not only be much slower to charge, but much more expensive too.

⚡️ Why are electrolytes critical in energy solutions? Electrolytes keep ions moving, making batteries and fuel cells work. That’s basic chemistry, right? Their conductivity and stability are what keep energy flowing efficiently. Get it wrong, and systems overheat or break down. All batteries rely on electrolytes. With global energy storage demand climbing fast, electrolytes are key to keeping everything running smoothly. As the U.S. works to build a stronger, more self-reliant supply chain, advancements in electrolyte technology will play a big role in ensuring our energy systems are resilient and ready to respond when it matters most. What do you think? How will these innovations shape the future of energy storage? Let’s talk about it at DIBC’s Annual Symposium in sunny San Diego, September 11-12, 2024.
