New equity raised on public markets hit a record high at US$28.2 billion in 1H2021, as did venture capital and private equity commitments to renewable energy companies at US$5.7 billion.

The renewable optimists, however, have long insisted that improved battery storage technology is right around the corner and will solve all renewable scalability issues.

Together, every one of these solutions will contribute to what’s being called the smart grid of the future.

Reaching 50% renewables by the end of this decade would still remain well short of President Biden's call for 80% clean power by 2030 (assuming "clean" means "renewable" and does not include nuclear power or fossil fuels with carbon capture).

China aims for renewables to account for at least 50% of its installed capacity by 2050, and energy storage would allow the country to ensure stable operation of the electric grid system.

According to draft proposals seen by market sources, the CBAM will replace the current system of free carbon allowances for metals sectors, and tighten allowances in the European Emissions Trading System generally, a bone of contention for some.

«Чтобы максимально использовать наши наработки и реализовать перспективы, мы ведем работу по идентификации того, какие производства могли бы соответствовать текущему и будущему спросу, заказам. Здесь важно оказывать не точечную, а системную поддержку по всей цепочке производства водорода», – добавил Павел Сорокин.

USD 131 trillion will need to flow into an energy system over the period to 2050 that prioritises technology avenues compatible with a 1.5°C Pathway.

In April 2021, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that Germany’s 2019 climate law was partly unconstitutional, as the regulation irreversibly offloads major greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction burdens onto periods after 2030.

The UK’s Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Kwasi Kwarteng, and Norway’s Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Tina Bru, issued a joint statement during Kwarteng's visit to Oslo for their first in-person meeting.

The industry’s current circular capacity is woefully unprepared for the deluge of waste that is likely to come.

The Plan targets non-fossil fuel energy reaching only 20% of China’s energy supply by 2030; this means that coal must remain China’s dominant electric power generation fuel source for the foreseeable future.

The importance of nuclear power in helping to stabilize electricity grids and ensure a reliable and low carbon energy flow will increase with the rising share of renewables in the global energy mix,

A conservative estimate would be for coal consumption of around one billion metric tonnes in 2050, still contributing 10%-15% of China's total energy consumption

Как отметил вице-премьер, программа включает масштабный комплекс мероприятий, реализующихся по приоритетным направлениям атомной науки, техники и технологий.
