Thermal Energy Storage Technologies

One of the greatest barriers to the green energy transition is storing surplus power generation from renewables. Many technologies are capable of this, and many others are coming into the market as well. In the figure below is possible to have an overview of the whole spectrum of storage technologies.   Figure 1: Energy Storage Technologies (source)  A type of technology that has not been already exploited much consists of thermal energy storage. The plants that go under that category have very high energy and power capacities, allowing them to contribute significantly to a cleaner electricity mix.  In fact, due to the increasing need of storing excess electricity from renewable sources, scalable and high efficient solutions have a big potential in the future.  Thermal energy storage can store energy in form of heat thanks to an electricity-to-heat system, like a heat pump, for periods of

The Irish Energy Roadmap Towards 2030

Ireland’s energy roadmap goal is to produce 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, in line with the direction given by the Government’s Climate Action Plan (2019).   This change will need a huge increase of clean energy sources, with at least 10 GW of new projects to be carried on, if not more. This goal will be achieved by increasing the penetration level of weather-dependent renewables like solar and wind. The

Scientists Mapped Every Large Solar Plant

An astonishing 82% decrease in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy since 2010 has given the world a fighting chance to build a zero-emissions energy system which might be less costly than the fossil-fuelled system it replaces. The International Energy Agency projects that PV solar generating capacity must grow ten-fold by 2040 if we are to meet the dual tasks

The growing Storage Market

The storage market is expected to play a critical role in facilitating the integration of intermittent renewables into power systems and the energy transition. More specifically, variability and uncertainty related to solar and wind resources pose technical challenges for the process of balancing supply and demand, which in turn increases the need for system flexibility.  Both stand-alone

Carbon Finance for Renewable Energy Projects

Carbon Finance in Renewable Energy Projects

Developing a project in some countries allows access to an additional income stream through carbon finance mechanisms of which the market is looking at with more and more interest.  Carbon markets emerged in the 1990s as an instrument of tackling climate change by funding carbon mitigating initiatives that generate carbon offsets. A carbon offset, or carbon credit, is a tradable unit that represents  one metric ton
