BESS are becoming more attractive
As battery energy storage system costs plunge, energy price volatility is shortening payback times for storage solutions. This shift, driven by a surge in intermittently generating renewables, and ongoing innovations in battery manufacturing, marks a pivotal moment for energy markets worldwide.
Utility-scale BESS: Best practices to mitigate hazards
A report from Leeward Renewable Energy has investigated battery energy storage system (BESS) fires and other thermal runaway events to try and put them into context.
Electrolyser cost, efficiency improvement critical for achieving cost viability of green hydrogen
The prevailing levelised cost of Green Hydrogen (LCOH) is 1.75 times that of grey hydrogen and 1.50 times that of brown hydrogen, posing a significant barrier to its adoption. Achieving economic viability of Green Hydrogen to around $2.1 per kg requires a 35%-40% drop in electrolyser prices and a 12%-14% improvement in efficiency apart from supportive policies, says a new report by CareEdge Ratings.
