Capacity is growing but total coal consumption is shrinking. It is their backup strategy (like gas in Germany). üüIf battery prices keep their steep decline they will take over most of the backupn- and coal utilization will keep going down.

No. EU experiences strong growth in the EV share in new car sales. Currently it is at 24%. Leaders are Norway (in the 90’s) and Denmark (around 60%).
The worlds far biggest market - China - is roaring at 60% and rising.

Falsch. Der Kapitalismus funktioniert fast überall innerhalb von Rahmen. Aber wie effizient und mit welchem Zweck. USA: Schutz der überreichen und Finanz und IT. EU: Marktwirtschaft und manchmal Sozial und Umwelt. In China: Schutz der Partei gegen Unzufriedenheit wegen Umwelt, fehlender Wachstum.

The rest of the world should require reparations for loss and damage. Could be at the EtS level - 700 billion USD to be paid to those countries that suffer most.

The oil dependancy is whats really scary. Haven’t the heard of EV’s and heat pumps?

I guess he thought: What’s the problem? Don’t you trust your allies?………. Oops.

Når biogas er på nettet kan det ikke skelnes fra naturgas. Og det europæiske gasnet er forbundne kar. Så hver m3 sparet gas i DK er 1 m3 mindre gas fra Putin.
Troels billiger gasindkøb fra Rusland med sin udtalelse - og forsinker den grønne omstilling. Det er nøgne facts. Og så er det aftalebrud.

I did adjust.
No doubt that the double conversion is a killer - only justifiable in backup power generation where the storage is the key - and consumption minimal. Piped hydrogen only makes sense if the end use is hydrogen. Eg. danish hydrogen for german har dt abate industry or storage.

Just checked the Viking link. It costs app 40% (pr KWh) of the Thor windpark built at the same time. I would say that is quite a substantial addition to the price.

Thx for the warning. I am however puzzled: the wind park bidding situation in Denmark is heavily influenced by the oversea cabling cost (200 km) - according to the government.

4 ct/KWh is not “almost nothing”.
May 4, 2025 at 8:14 AM
But doing it in 2 steps seems wasteful.

See your point. That does not add that much value. On the other hand - we are approaching the point of excess renewable energy in northern europe. Long distance electricity transportation is extremely expensive, so local use for high temperature heat via hydrogen may make sense.

Not true. Removing coal from the steel production has a CO2 removal efficiency close to EV’s and heat pumps. It is better than “just” replacing grey hydrogen in eg Ammonia production.

Why so slow. In Denmark BEV sales went from 16% to 80% in 4 years. Once things click… And in 2035 new ICE are banned in EU.

Jeg tror desværre fødevareindustrien under inflationen har fået smag for at score extraprofitter

If we keep the thermal capacity as pure “Dunkelflaute” backup for non flexible baseload and introduce batteries for peakload (total cost max 1 cent/ kwh with current prices) we are good
