🛳 Port of Aberdeen's Business Development Manager, Kieran Morton, will be presenting on the port's feasibility project at EIC (Energy Industries Council) 'ETZ - Hydrogen - Fuelling Scotland's Energy Transition' event, taking place at #TheMarcliffePitfodels on 23rd August. The 'Port Zero' feasibility study, which is part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 2 (CMDC2), will analyse future port power demands, assess low carbon energy sources for equipment (e.g., cranes, tugs, pilot boats) and quayside infrastructure, and help develop a roadmap to decarbonise port operations. The study is being delivered in partnership with Connected Places Catapult, Energy Systems Catapult, and Buro Happold, and aligns with the emissions reductions goals published in the Department for Transport’s Clean Maritime Plan. 🔗 More details on the event: https://lnkd.in/es5h2S2Q #portzero #technology #innovation #port #portofaberdeen #technology #netzero #CMDC2

Yesterday, our Commercial Director, Paul Barker presented at the ‘Ports and The Electricity Conundrum - What Will it Take to Meet Demand?’ webinar, as part of the IAPH World Ports Conference hosted by Mercator Media Ltd. Our participation across both days of this webinar has highlighted a key challenge that our sector will face in the years ahead. Ports are the intersection of global trade and they will need additional infrastructure for any future renewable energy generation. Not to mention storage, bunkering and marine transportation of low-density, liquified low- and zero-carbon fuels. Therefore, demand for electricity at ports is set to grow exponentially. Competition within the current energy landscape is fierce, however an apparent problem remains the Maritime sector not being at the forefront of the industry’s concerns. Though organisations within shipping are addressing the supply of hardware and software, the critical issue of renewable infrastructure deployment is largely being neglected. This infrastructure is pivotal to the advancement of our sector, but only through collaboration can we hope to elevate the maritime industry’s position up the pecking order. This cannot happen in silos. We must push this agenda as a collective. Thank you to the IAPH World Ports Conference and all the industry experts that presented, together we will continue to progress the maritime industry’s ambition.

CCUS is definitely an area of my interest. It certainly plays an important role in the energy transition. For those who are also interested in this subject, I highly recommend watching the recordings from this Webinar hosted by Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP). It brings a bit of the existing technology related to reservoir monitoring, Annulus pressure control and etc. #northernlights #CCUS #EnergyTransition Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP)Northern Lights JV

Energy company Zero Terrain has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Estonian Ministry of Climate to construct a pumped-hydro energy storage (PHS) project in Estonia. Under the deal, Zero Terrain will work closely with the government to develop and implement solutions for the realization of the PHS project, including addressing market challenges and supporting securing capital. Zero Terrain is jointly owned by the Estonian energy company Alexela, Baltic-Polish renewable energy company Sunly, EV charging startup Vool, woodworking businesses network Combiwood Grupp, wood pellet manufacturer Warmeston, and Estonian firm Ronnivara. As part of the collaboration, Zero Terrain has received a grant of €1.98 million (about $2.15 million US, at current exchange rates) from the state’s applied research program to assist the company’s project development efforts in Estonia and facilitate technology export initiatives. The Zero Terrain Paldiski 500MW underground long-duration energy storage plant represents a significant advancement in conventional PHS technology, allowing for construction in various terrains, even flat lands. The Paldiski Pumped Hydro Energy Storage plant is an EU Project of Common Interest (PCI). It is the only greenfield PHS project in the Northern Baltic region and is set to become the largest facility in Estonia. Construction of the Zero Terrain Paldiski project is scheduled to commence in 2025, following the acquisition of main building permits in December 2022. Once operational, the plant is projected to generate 6GWh of power to the grid during its nominal operating cycle of 12 hours, surpassing the average daily consumption of all Estonian households. “The global need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) capacity is undeniable. 85–120 TWh of LDES is needed globally by 2040 (McKinsey, 2021), so the interest in our technology and project is high, especially in regions where the traditional PHS was impossible to implement due to geographical limitation,” added Siitam.

🌍🌱 A recent $500 million renewable energy and gas deal between #Nigeria and #Germany is a resounding affirmation of the themes we experienced first-hand at our participation in the Afrika-Verein der deutschen Wirtschaft (German - African Business Association) event. This historic agreement mirrors our own commitment at Calvert International AG to fostering robust partnerships, which we championed during our involvement in this key event for German-African business relations on Monday, 20th November. As we witnessed at the event, there is a growing and crucial emphasis on collaborative, #InternationalPartnerships that prioritize #SustainableEnergy solutions. This approach is essential for driving progress in #RenewableEnergy and #ClimateAction on a #global scale.
