Kaimai Wind Farm Limited Project Development Rationale

June 15, 2018

The provision of a secure and reliable electricity supply to New Zealanders is a constant challenge being faced by the electricity generation industry. As long-term demand for electricity continues to increase, additional electricity generation facilities are required to be built. Recently in the order of 1000MW of a thermal plant has been decommissioned in the Auckland region, this action significantly increases the “dry year” risk of electricity supply shortfall. The thermal plants were decommissioned as the respective projects had reached the end of their economic life.

Decarbonizing heavy-duty trucking and accelerating the European hydrogen economy

whitePaper | March 28, 2022

The role of hydrogen as a key decarbonisation tool has become the subject of significant international interest. Over 30 countries have published hydrogen roadmaps, industry has announced over 200 hydrogen projects, and governments worldwide have committed more than USD70 billion in public funding.1 Hydrogen is a uniquely versatile fuel that can be used in a range of applications as a replacement for fossil fuels. Low-carbon hydrogen has come to be seen as a vital energy carrier for hard-to-abate sectors – where decarbonisation faces technical, operational and economic obstacles, such as the steel and heavy-duty trucking industries

Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2022 Edition

whitePaper | May 11, 2022

The Energy Transition Index (ETI) has benchmarked the progress of countries’ energy transition for a decade on the three dimensions of the energy triangle – economic development and growth, energy security and access, and environmental sustainability – and on the enabling environment for transition. In view of the current volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, however, a trend analysis from historical energy data can currently provide only limited insights. Hence, instead of the annual country energy transition benchmarking report, this special 2022 edition builds on the ETI trends observed in recent years to provide a perspective on the current challenges affecting the transition, and highlights priorities to supercharge it.
