Lähinnä sähköisestä energiasiirtymästä kiinnostunut. Focus on #stateoftheart clean energy sources & applications.
In either way, only 120-160 MW of electrolysers has been installed to Germany out of the 10 GW target by 2030.

"The short- to medium-term supply costs of renewable hydrogen exceed the indicative willingness
to pay."

Unfortunately what that means in terms of hydrogen aspirations is left without clear answer. Calling hydrogen ramp-up technology-neutral is quite a flex but then again replacing strict electrolyser targets (10 GW by 2030) with flexible, tells another story.

The 30 pages analysis about hydrogen in German Energy transition monitoring report is mostly indefinite and exploratory in nature, but some gems can be found.

Seems that German government officials also acknowledge the difference between h2- capex visions and the reality. That's A+ for homework!

Have we reached the plateau of wind power generation cost decline in major European wind power markets?

According to @irena-official.bsky.social the cost of wind LCOE came rapidly down until 2019 after which the average cost has not declined but increased 17% (2020-2024).

German BEV market share seems to finally recover from last year dull but is only reaching 2022 level YTD.

Nevertheless, the market without 3000-5000 euro subsidies is completely different to the one before. Solid and steady progress.

Shout-out for Renault for making an exciting car. It’s not Chinese, Japanese or American but European by its nature.

Retro design is a justified pathway in bringing the icons back alive, electric. Reimagining the origin.

Uusintakuvaaja maanantaille. Päästökauppasektorilaitosten päästöissä on syytä huomata kohta "Muut laitokset".

Tähän kategoriaan kuuluu KAIKKI sähkön- ja lämmöntuotantonlaitokset Suomessa.

Näiden laitosten päästöt ovat vähentyneet 70% kymmenessä vuodessa! Hattuapäästä, niille jotka sen ansaitsee.

There’s absolutely no new product or pr concept launch that can divert from this direction that VW and many other OEMs are heading.

Only committed actions matter.

I was criticized 2 years ago when they launched ID2 for calling out their wishy washeness and here we are. That one is delayed too.

Ei tarvitse välttämättä ihmetellä, miksi sähkösiirtymä etenee vaiheittain eri aikaisesti eri puolilla Eurooppaa, kun sähkön hinta on Saksassa ja tammikuussa 40,4 senttiä/kWh.

Suomessa 6,6 s/kWh.

I'm on a same page when it comes to hydrogen demand.

After all the land transportation has electrified and ships and planes use biofuels around 80-120 Mt of h2-demand remains.

Perhaps, I would put more emphasis on fertilizer (ammonia) put that will not elevate the demand.

Tesla, the vision, products, and services are something bigger than Elon Musk. That can happen when you pour your heart into something and work vigorously to achieve it.

Things live on even if you turn into Russia pleasing oligarch.

That’s why it’s called Tesla not Muskla.

Jos vuoristorataa on luvassa, niin lähinnä siitä syystä, että 10 vuoden jahkailun jälkeen BMW ja muut OEM:t eivät uskalla kohdata kiinalaisia sähköautoja avoimella markkinalla, vaan menevät tariffien helman alle piiloon.

Kiinassa sähköautot ovat jo edullisempia kuin polttikset.

Tässäkään ei poraaminen ja poraaminen auta sen enempää.

Latauspisteiden (krhm) lisäksi en voi liikaa odottaa näitä kaupunkeihin, koska työkoneet pitävät paljon kovempaa meteliä kuin V8:t, AMG:t ja muut.

Norjalla on yli 1700 miljardin öljyvaroin rakennettu rahasto, mikä on kasvoi viime vuonna yli 200 miljardia euroa lisää.

Suomessa puhutaan vedyn osalta siitä, että: "Olemme samassa tilanteessa kuin Norja löytäessään öljyä 70-luvulla- Suomen rahahuolet olisivat ohi" 1/5 yle.fi/a/74-20087954

Mediassa keskustellaan Ukrainan kriittisistä mineraalivarannoista, ja HS mainitsee, että:

"Kokonaisuudessaan Ukrainassa arvioidaan olevan 5 prosenttia maailman kriittisistä mineraaleista"

Asiaa on toki tutkittu aiemmin. Suomessa vain fosfaattikivivarannot ylittävät 1% rajan.

We will soon have 10 GW of wind and 3 GW of solar even though prices are already too low in the summer (bc of nuclear and solar). Everything after that is speculative and reliant on additional consumption but that is far from cursed location. Our national grid operator’s estimate:
February 4, 2025 at 6:47 PM
We have the second lowest average electricity wholesale price in EU due to naturally developed wind power scheme (8 GW and counting-unsubsidized) last year. More than 60 GW of wind is planned. 3 GW of hydropower was build long time ago which is balancing the market. I wouldn't call that a curse.

Nickel reserves remain the same. Indonesia mined 59% of the world's nickel last year which is in a league of its own. The next one on the list, Philippines, produced 9% (0,33 Mt).
February 1, 2025 at 9:17 AM
Chile and copper is often mentioned but DRC was 2nd most largest producer of copper with 3,3 Mt last year (up 13%). Only 38% shy of Chilean production.

Copper reserves retracted 20 Mt, after 110 Mt hike in 2023. Mined output has increased from 20,6 to 23 Mt in five years.
February 1, 2025 at 9:17 AM
Cobalt reserves have stayed the same which means that they has at least grown the mined output (0,29 Mt).

Global mined output is 2X what it was five years ago and the Democratic Republic of Congos's share of the production has increased from 68% to 76%.
February 1, 2025 at 9:17 AM
Lithium reserves (economically recoverable minerals) are up 2,0 Mt likewise last year. Enough for around 250 million EVs.

Last year 17 million EVs were sold (PHEVs included).

Identified lithium resources has grown too like Dave mentions in his thread.
