#FuelCellChina China's First Cave-Based Hydrogen Storage Project Receives $17.8 Million in National Funding On February 18th, the Development and Reform Bureau of Daye City, Hubei Province, announced that the Daye City Mining Area Green Electricity and Green Hydrogen Production, Storage, and Utilization Integrated Hydrogen Energy Mine Comprehensive Construction Project received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission for the Clean Low-Carbon Hydrogen Energy Innovation Application Project, securing a central budget investment of 120 million yuan.   It is also the largest investment and highest funding sought for a green new energy project in Daye's history. According to Hubei Daily, the project has a planned total investment of 5.2 billion yuan, including sectors such as photovoltaic power generation, green electricity for hydrogen production, and integrated energy stations. The hydrogen production factory, being the core of the project, plans an investment of 250 million yuan to construct three electric hydrogen production factories on the abandoned industrial and mining lands of Yanfan Village, Jiangqiao Village, and Raofa Village, with an expected annual hydrogen production of 45 million standard cubic meters and a byproduct of 22.5 million standard cubic meters of oxygen. The integrated energy stations, serving as the project's hydrogen storage and supply hub, plan an investment of 400 million yuan to build three smart energy stations for oil, hydrogen, and electricity in Jianshandian Town, Daye East, and Olympic Avenue.

World's biggest solar farm comes online in China's Xinjiang ◾ A Chinese state-owned company said it had connected the world's biggest solar plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. ◾ The 5-gigawatt (GW), 200,000-acre solar farm, in a desert area of the capital Urumqi, came online on Monday, a notice on the state asset regulator's website said, citing the Power Construction Corp of China. ◾ The facility will generate about 6.09 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity each year. That would be enough to power the country of Papua New Guinea for a year. ◾ The two largest operational solar facilities previously were also in western China - Longyuan Power Group's Ningxia Tenggeli desert solar project and China Lüfa Qinghai New Energy's Golmud Wutumeiren solar complex, both with a capacity of 3GW, according to the Global Energy Monitor's solar power tracker. ◾ Sparsely populated Xinjiang, rich in solar and wind resources, has become a hub for massive renewable energy bases that send much of their power across long distances to China's densely populated eastern seaboard.

They also discussed the possibility of establishing a joint venture. The next ministerial meeting will take place in Tashkent (Uzbekistan). The exploration of green electricity exports has been ongoing for some time (see the figure of one of the scenarios for the location of an electric interconnector worked out in 2020). Regional collaboration in hydrogen aligns precisely with my recommendations in a study for the UNECE Sustainable Energy and discussions in Almaty, Astana, Baku, and Brussels. We determined the maximum realistic resource potential for hydrogen production by 2040 in these three countries at 2.4, 2.6, and 2.1 Mtpa, respectively, and more accurate figures will likely emerge after the development of national hydrogen strategies. In 2023, routes for hydrogen exports are already being explored, with the involvement of the EBRD, H2 Diplo, Advisian, and Fichtner (Fichtner Hydrogen). In my view, synchronization of hydrogen strategies, standards, certification, workforce training, research and development, and technological chains are equally, if not more, critical. Hopefully, we will witness progress in these areas as well.

China's Shift to Renewable Energy Could Curb Emissions Sooner Than Expected. A shift in demand and significant investments in the green energy sector over the last decade could lead to a decline in China’s greenhouse gas emissions starting as early as next year. China is a renewable energy powerhouse, expected to lead not just Asia but the world when it comes to green energy, metals and minerals mining, and clean tech. Thanks to years of investment and favourable government policies, China is finally reaping the rewards by becoming a global market leader and changing the face of its energy industry to eventually respond… http://ow.ly/ury91052q07

🌞 Zambia's solar energy revolution is here! 🇿🇲 President Hichilema has inaugurated the groundbreaking 60 MW Itimpi solar power project in Kitwe, marking a significant step towards diversifying Zambia's energy mix and combating the ongoing energy crisis. 💡 This initiative promises to bring stability and reliability to the mining industry, a crucial pillar of our economy. By harnessing Zambia's abundant sunlight, we can reduce our dependence on hydro-generation and build a more resilient energy future. ☀️ Read our article to learn more about how the Itimpi power project is reshaping Zambia's energy landscape and driving sustainable development. 📰👇https://lnkd.in/dQfR5CDb #ZambiaSolarEnergy #ItimpiPowerProject #SustainableMining #EnergyTransition

China has connected the world's largest solar farm to the grid in Xinjiang! This 5-gigawatt (GW) facility spans 200,000 acres in Urumqi and will generate an incredible 6.09 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually. That's enough to power Papua New Guinea for a year! Previously, the largest operational solar facilities were also in western China: - Longyuan Power Group's Ningxia Tenggeli desert project (3GW) - China Lüfa Qinghai New Energy's Golmud Wutumeiren complex (3GW) Sparsely populated Xinjiang, rich in solar and wind resources, has become a hub for massive renewable energy bases that send much of their power across long distances to China's densely populated eastern seaboard. This monumental achievement highlights Xinjiang's pivotal role in renewable energy in China, leveraging vast solar and wind resources to meet China's growing energy needs.

🌬️💰 A Paradoxical Power Shift: $243M Invested in Wind Farm Amidst South Africa's Coal Heartland! In a remarkable move towards decarbonization, Seriti Resources, a key coal producer, is spearheading a renewable energy transformation in Mpumalanga province. With a $243 million investment, Seriti Green, the company's subsidiary, is set to launch Ummbila Emoyeni, a 155 MW wind farm, powered by the winds between Bethal and Morgenzon. What makes this initiative truly remarkable? It's the paradoxical nature of three local banks, including Standard Bank and Rand Merchant Bank, rallying behind a coal producer's renewable energy endeavour—a testament to the urgent need for South Africa's energy transition. As the coal industry confronts its environmental impact, Seriti Resources is taking proactive steps towards a just energy transition, balancing the nation's energy demands while reducing carbon emissions by 5.1 megatonnes annually. This strategic move not only underscores Seriti's commitment to sustainability but also signals a broader shift towards a low-carbon economy. With Ummbila Emoyeni slated to deliver its first megawatt in 2026, it's a tangible step towards a greener future, setting the stage for further renewable energy developments across the country.🌍💨 Read the full article from our media partner AFRIK 21 here: https://lnkd.in/d4F6dWRt #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #WindPower #SouthAfrica 🇿🇦

JOIN US TOMORROW: On Wednesday, August 9 at ⏲ 15.00 pm Bangladesh Time, for the "misconceptions of renewable energy” webinar also known as ‘Nobayonjoggo Jalani Niye Joto Vul Dharona’ (in Bangla). The webinar is organized by South Asian Network on Economic Modeling (SANEM) in which Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)’s Energy Analyst Shafiqul Alam will join as a speaker (third from the right in the poster). The experts will discuss how renewable energy continues to register record growth each year as it outpaces the new capacity addition of fossil fuels-based-systems worldwide. Yet, there are misconceptions, and what are those and how to debunk them. #renewablenergy #fossilfuels #greenenergy #cleanenergy
