TotalEnergies, VERBUND AG sign preliminary deal on #Tunisian #hydrogen supply to #Europe Austrian electricity provider VERBUND AG and French energy major TotalEnergies' joint venture with Eren Groupe S.A. TE H2 have signed a preliminary deal with the Republic of Tunisia for a #renewablehydrogen project to supply Europe The multi-billion-dollar project, H2 Notos, aims to produce 200,000 metric tons of hydrogen a year using desalinated water from the Mediterranean and electricity from wind and solar farms in southern Tunisia. A ramp-up to 1 million tons per year is possible. The hydrogen would be transported to Europe through a 3,300 km pipeline connecting #Tunisia to #Italy and continuing onto #Austria and #Germany which is being planned by companies including Snam S.p.A. Production could begin as early as 2030, with #Verbund taking some of the hydrogen and transporting it throughout #CentralEurope What is notable about this project is its ability to transport low-cost hydrogen directly to Europe via pipeline," TEH2 CEO David Corchia said Pipeline transport adds about 1 euro - $1.09/km. to the cost, compared with 3.5 to 4 euros /km when you transform hydrogen to ammonia, ship it on a boat, and re-crack it back into hydrogen." A final investment decision (FID) is expected in 2027 or 2028 Mohamed Koubassi Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

🌀 TWAIN's partners, ENGIE GREEN and its R&D center, Laborelec, are major actors in the production of renewable energy and are now working on improved procedures and research on Wind Farm Control (WFC). ✍️ In the words of Ariane Frère, Research Program Manager, "on top of providing wind farm data to the consortium, ENGIE Laborelec will be acting in the evaluation of flow and load modeling methods, as well as in the integration of the adapted acoustics, birds and bats strategies. ENGIE Laborelec will contribute largely as well in the definition and evaluation of the use-cases integrating lifetime and environmental aspects." #twainproject #windpower #windfarm #windenergy #artificialintelligence ________ DTU Wind and Energy Systems | Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER) - National Renewable Energy Centre | Delft University of Technology | Technical University of Munich | F6S Innovation | ENGIE GREEN | Laborelec | EDF | Ramboll | SoftServe

To increase renewable energy production, they think to build more wind turbines and solar panels. But maintaining & replacing existing installations is a key dimension which reveals the sector's current fragility.

FRANCE ACCELERATES OFFSHORE WIND WITH €4.5B GRID INVESTMENT French electricity transmission system operator Réseau de Transport d'Électricité has signed a €4.5 billion ($4.8 billion) contract with a consortium consisting of Chantiers de l'Atlantique and Hitachi Energy to supply power platforms and converter stations for two offshore wind farms to be built in France. The agreement covers the construction of three offshore direct current platforms and three onshore converter stations to connect the Centre Manche 1 and 2 offshore wind farms and the Oléron Island offshore wind farm to the national grid. The use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology will enable the integration of over 3.5 GW of renewable energy, reflecting the growing scale and distance of offshore wind projects. This contract demonstrates France's commitment to accelerating offshore wind development as part of its path to carbon neutrality by 2050. ⚡ Follow MPS (Modern Power Systems) for all the latest news daily from the global power generation industry ⚡ #MPS #power #energy #powergeneration #windenergy #hvdc #energytransition

The Eurelectric team visited ENGIE's Coo pumped storage hydropower station, the biggest battery in Belgium! ⚡ The Coo station is a crucial flexibility asset to compensate for the intermittency of renewables and to balance the Belgian grid. During times of low demand for electricity, the water is pumped to the upper reservoirs. During peak periods, the water is poured into the lower reservoir via the machine room housing the turbines and generators that generate the electricity. In this way, the water is circulated between the reservoirs without impacting natural water bodies. Did you know? When the turbines are running at maximum power (more than 1 GW), the water flow is 500m3 per second 💧 ❗ That's enough to empty an Olympic swimming pool in 5 seconds! A big thank you to the ENGIE Belgium team for hosting us, in particular to Marc Locht, Maurice Rasier, Corinna Grajetzky, Tine Bax and Yvan Hachez for showing us the power plant and explaining its functioning!

🌍🌐 CLG Europe members are fully on board with the imperative of achieving net zero emissions and staying true to the 1.5°C target. They are investing in innovative projects, demonstrate leadership, and inspire others to join the pathway to a climate neutral and nature positive economy. These are some of their latest projects: ⚛️ EDF, in collaboration with other partners, is launching the Energetic Optimisation of Quantum Circuits (OECQ) project to optimize energy efficiency in quantum computing. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/3Wt6TNK ☀️ ACCIONA Energía announced that it will install up to 10.5MWp of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of warehouses and buildings owned by Prologis in Spain. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/4bUB5pn

World’s 1st artificial island to provide 3.5GW wind energy to 3 million homes ◾ The European Investment Bank (EIB) has agreed to provide Elia Transmission Belgium (ETB) a $702 million (€650 million) grant to help it build the world’s first artificial energy island. ◾ The artificial energy island, according to the details provided by Elia, will aim to provide Belgium with 3.5GW of new offshore wind capacity so as to enable its transmission to green energy. ◾ The funds have been allocated for the realization of the first phase of the Princess Elisabeth Island project. ◾ ETB also states that the project is essential for Belgian and European energy transition, “helping to bring large amounts of wind energy from the North Sea to the consumption centers on the mainland.” ◾ According to the Elia Group, the Princess Elisabeth Island will be constructed between 2024 and 2027, at about 27.9 miles (45 km) off the Belgian coast within the Princess Elisabeth wind zone. ◾ The island is one of ETB’s key projects and is the world’s first artificial energy island. ◾ The project aims to integrate 3.5 GW of additional offshore wind capacity into Belgium’s electricity grid, which can power more than three million households. ◾ The Island will reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and provide more affordable green electricity. It will also significantly contribute to the European Union meeting its renewable energy targets and climate-neutrality goal. ◾ According to a press release from the Elia Group, “In addition to unlocking Belgium’s second offshore wind zone, the Princess Elisabeth Zone, the island will also serve as a landing point for additional interconnectors that will link Belgium to its neighbors.” ◾ The Princess Elisabeth Island will be the first artificial energy island in the world hosting both high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and alternating current (HVAC) infrastructure. ◾ The first of the island’s caissons, or foundations, are currently being built in Vlissingen (the Netherlands) and will soon be sunk at sea and filled with sand to form the foundations of the island, as per Elia. ◾ The high-voltage infrastructure installed on the island will bundle together the export cables of the Princess Elisabeth Zone wind farms while also serving as a hub for future interconnectors that will link Belgium to the United Kingdom and other countries. ◾ These hybrid interconnectors will enable power exchanges between Belgium and its neighbors whilst also being connected to large offshore wind farms in the North Sea. The latter will eventually supply Belgium with large quantities of renewable energy.  The source: Interesting Engineering #energyticslimited #renewableenrgy #windenergy #artificialenergyisland
