Positive Proof for Distributed Intelligence at the Grid Edge

Amidst the rapid developments the floating offshore wind industry is experiencing, this white paper intends to build a preliminary classification of floating wind heavy maintenance concept types under development. Through a high-level comparative assessment of assigned crane families and an overarching discussion on strategy considerations, this white paper hopes to inform the decision processes of key stakeholders in the field. The findings from this work feed into the wider discussions of WFO’s Floating Offshore Wind Committee (FOWC), where the insurability and bankability perspective reflects on the challenges of floating wind and the new technologies that aim to solve them. These cross-discipline conversations remind us of the need to balance cost reductions and safety measures to preserve the risk perception of floating wind technologies, especially for the first commercial-scale projects.

Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to determine the potential opportunity for integrating renewable energy into industrial process heat applications in Australia. This report documents the analysis undertaken by ITP in conjunction with Pitt&Sherry, the Institute for Sustainable Futures, Sustainability Advice Team and Beyond Zero Emissions. It highlights technology options for renewable process heat applications across Australian industries and provides indicative cost estimates for renewable energy compared with fossil energy.

The South American continent has some natural peculiarities that provide unique opportunities to become a leading player in the field of renewable energies. Its own geothermal characteristics and abundance of resources; an electricity market characterized by high prices and high demand—these are just some of the reasons renewable energies are seeing massive expansion in Latin America.

Energy security and affordability present global challenges, but both are integral elements of a successful energy transition, alongside sustainability to mitigate climate change. The current energy crisis is driving inflation, slowing economic growth and contributing to social turmoil. Some choices made by countries in response to the crisis, such as improving energy efficiency and scaling renewables, will be beneficial for the wider energy transition. But other actions – including increased production of electricity from coal and broad-based consumption subsidies – put longterm energy transition imperatives at risk, while leaving those countries more vulnerable to future crises and putting global climate goals out of reach.

As nations worldwide continue to develop and industrialize at a pace never before seen, the demand for products like cement, chemicals, coal, oil and gas, and steel – or their substitutes – is rapidly growing. Often these hard-to-abate sectors are geographically co-located in so-called industrial clusters, hubs or zones. To address an urgent need for scaled decarbonization in these industries, strong policy support is needed with a particular focus on the transition of these CO2 -emitting industrial areas across all nations, independent of industry mix or development stage.
