The World Bank has awarded a US$380m loan to build the 1,040 MW Upper Cisokan pumped-storage hydropower plant, to be located between Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia.

What fuels increased electricity production year-on-year? Coal – up 34.7% (112.5 million MWh) Wind – up 10% (17.4) Solar – up 29% (12.6)

We expect Brent prices will remain near current levels for the remainder of 2021, averaging $71/b during the fourth quarter of 2021 (4Q21). In 2022, we expect that growth in production from OPEC+, U.S. tight oil, and other non-OPEC countries will outpace slowing growth in global oil consumption and contribute to Brent prices declining to an annual average of $66/b.

China has unveiled a plan to expand its pumped-storage hydropower capacity to 62 GW in 2025 and 120 GW in 2030.

By 2035, the decarbonization scenarios show cumulative solar deployment of 760–1,000 GW, serving 37%–42% of electricity demand

The Spanish Secretariat of State for Energy has scheduled the new auction for 3.3 GW of renewables capacity for 19 October 2021.

Taiwan has a target to instal an additional 9 GW of offshore wind by 2031, and 15 GW by 2035.

Following a two-year consultation process coordinated by the EU Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) for Sustainable Energy, the five African power pools selected IRENA and the IAEA to support the continent’s modelling and capacity needs.

Rosatom was working with the Sakhalin Oblast government on comprehensive measures to support the project, including those related to organising a hydrogen production complex on the island, where hydrogen can be produced for the needs of the transport sector.

Чтобы сохранить свою конкурентоспособность на мировом рынке, России необходимо уже в ближайшие несколько лет по-максимуму использовать свои преимущества, считает Павел Сорокин.

Павел Сниккарс напомнил, что правительство утвердило программу поддержки возобновляемых источников энергии до 2035 года в объёме 360 миллиардов рублей.

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has awarded 1,200 MW of wind projects as part of the Tranche XI auction for 1,200 MW of interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected wind power projects in India

In fact, “renewable” energy is the least renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly energy source of all. Any ESG program that fails to recognize this is dishonest, even fraudulent – and must be reformed or scrapped.

From small wind, micro hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and even hydrogen fuel cell technology, any of these combinations contain the keys to unlocking a hybrid solution that will overcome the dependence we have on fossil fuels.

“Sinopec will expand forcefully into making hydrogen from renewable energy, and zero in on hydrogen for transportation fuel and using green hydrogen for refining,” acting Chairman Ma Yongsheng said.
