Accelerated Growth of Renewables and Gas Power can Rapidly Change the Trajectory on Climate Change

whitePaper | November 29, 2022

Renewables are expected to account for 80–90% of power generation globally by 2050. Due to their dependence on weather conditions, wind and solar power cannot provide constant baseload power during all hours of the day, and measures have to be taken to compensate for this intermittency. The good news is that such imbalances or fluctuations can be mitigated effectively using battery energy storage systems (BESSs).

Last year, the world watched as billionaires took to the skies and launched themselves into space. Today, the space race has become a phenomenon, providing the ordinary person with a potential opportunity to take an extraordinary spaceflight. But there is more to space than meets the eye – through research and science, space improves people’s lives around the world by contributing to environmental monitoring, natural resource management, weather forecast and climate modelling, and early warning systems to assist in minimising future disasters.

This white paper aims to highlight the changes in the global energy industry. These are immense, but have the advantage that in addition to the challenges and adjustments in the previous model, they can also bring great opportunities for the future. Opportunities for business models that can be newly built or integrated into the existing one. We want to provide food for thought, especially for sectors such as national and municipal energy supply companies, but also planning offices, which can seize opportunities for the future here.

For decades, the North Sea has played a key role in supplying energy to Europe through its oil and gas fields. Now it is set to become the continent’s largest climate-neutral energy system by 2050. By enabling a new level of connectivity and collaboration between European countries, Siemens Energy is leading an initiative that will see the North Sea help us deliver net zero

As of October 2021, more than 250 companies have partnered with DOE in the Better Plants Program and Challenge. The Better Plants 2021 Progress Update reports that, to date, partners have saved more than $9 billion dollars and 1.9 quadrillion Btus of energy. Over 60 partners have met their initial energy reduction goals, and many have gone on to set new goals with the U.S Department of Energy. In 2021, twenty new companies joined the program, seven Better Plants partners achieved their energy intensity reduction goals and three partners that previously achieved their energy-intensity reduction goals repledged with new goals.

A critical question facing facility and plant operators of large energy usage manufacturers is whether the same level of local community resilience provided by diesel backup generators can be achieved through economical microgrid alternatives that are more consistent with clean energy goals. In this report from Enchanted Rock, The Brattle Group examines detailed data comparing the feasibility, economics, and GHG emissions of several alternative microgrid systems commonly considered for resilience purposes.
