Different colours of #Hydrogen😐 What is blue hydrogen? Blue hydrogen is when natural gas is split into hydrogen and CO2 either by Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) or Auto Thermal Reforming (ATR), but the CO2 is captured and then stored. As the greenhouse gasses are captured, this mitigates the environmental impacts on the planet. The ‘capturing’ is done through a process called Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS). What is green hydrogen? Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by splitting water by electrolysis. This produces only hydrogen and oxygen. We can use the hydrogen and vent the oxygen to the atmosphere with no negative impact. To achieve the electrolysis we need electricity, we need power. This process to make green hydrogen is powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar. That makes green hydrogen the cleanest option – hydrogen from renewable energy sources without CO2 as a by-product. What is grey hydrogen? Grey hydrogen has been produced for many years. It is a similar process to blue hydrogen – SMR or ATR are used to split natural gas into Hydrogen and CO2. But the CO2 is not being captured and is released into the atmosphere. What is pink hydrogen? Similar to green hydrogen, pink hydrogen is made via electrolysis, but using nuclear energy as its source of power. What is yellow hydrogen? Another type of hydrogen made by electrolysis is yellow, where electrolysis is achieved solely through solar power (unlike green which could use a combination of renewable energy sources such as wind or solar).🙏

If renewables cannot save the planet, should we allow them to destroy it? Here is the truth very few want to talk about: the biggest challenges with renewables are not just technical, but natural. Yes, some will argue that renewable energy is "inverter based", or that existing grids were never designed for decentralized power. Those are valid points, but look deeper: sunlight is diffuse and weak while wind is intermittent. Nature itself limits how much energy density we can extract from these sources. Take a comparison, a nuclear power plant on a small piece of land can provide consistent gigawatts of power while a solar farm requires vast tracts of land for far less dependable output. But this does not mean we abandon renewables. It means we stop oversimplifying the narrative. The path to sustainable energy requires honesty about limitations, trade-offs and integration with other technologies. The question is not whether renewables are good or bad, but whether we are willing to confront reality and design solutions that actually work. #EnergyTransition #ClimateTruth #NuclearEnergy

Basic Energy Facts The following information should support an understanding of the transition to renewable energy. All energy except for nuclear energy and energy from the Earth's core comes from the sun. For this discussion we will talk about solar energy. When the sun shines it provides light for our daily activities and heats the atmosphere to keep us warm. This energy is used as soon as it reaches the Earth. Nature can save energy for  times when the sun is not available. It accomplishes this through a process known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis combines energy from the sun with CO2 to create compounds that can later be used to release the stored energy. Regarding a annual cycle plants absorb energy and CO2 and release it  at another time.. In other words, we grow corn in the spring and summer we use it in the fall and winter to provide the energy we need until we can start the next crop of corn. The energy cycle for trees is a lot longer. They absorb CO2 and create compounds which might release the energy up to 100 years later and in the process releasing the CO2 captured earlier. Fossil fuel energy is CO2 and sunlight that was absorbed millions of years ago. We use it today to create energy and in the process release CO2. Solar panels convert the energy from the sun to electricity which must be used immediately or stored for future use. Wind turbines or hydroelectric turbines convert the kinetic energy of moving air or falling water to electricity which again must be used immediately. We have the capacity to store energy in several ways. One way is with batteries which involve a fairly short cycle between creation and consumption. Hydroelectric facilities can lengthen the storage cycle to a year or several years in some cases. Rainfall follows an annual cycle with most of the rain in the winter months. In order to use the rain that fell in the winter months during the summer the water is stored behind dams which can then be released according to the demand for electricity. Some people point out that wind and solar cannot create energy when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow. This is true but the cycles can be balanced by the use of hydroelectric which has a much longer cycle and is very efficient as a storage mechanism. Over the long run fossil fuels may also be used to balance out supply with consumption but will be used in much smaller proportion than it is today. Over the long run backup supply may also be provided by nuclear energy https://lnkd.in/efZstDjp

What are the sources for electrical generation? The main sources of electrical generation can be grouped into two types: 1. Conventional (non-renewable): Thermal (coal, oil, gas): Burn fuel to produce steam that drives turbines. Nuclear: Splits atoms (fission) to generate heat for steam turbines. 2. Renewable: Hydropower: Uses flowing water to spin turbines. Solar: Converts sunlight directly into electricity (PV panels) or heat (solar thermal). Wind: Uses wind turbines to generate power. Geothermal: Uses heat from inside the Earth to produce steam. Biomass: Burns organic material to create energy.

Year after year, global wind installation numbers remain being impresive, but why they continue talking exclusively about iInstalled capacity when it´s a fact that it doesn’t tell the whole story. A wind farm rated at 300 MW might look impressive on paper. But with a typical capacity factor varying between 25%-35% pending on the type of farm (onshore and offshore) 30–50%, it delivers somethin rounding 75 to 105 MW on average. Compare that with nuclear: 300 MW at ~90% capacity factor = 270 MW average— by far more than double the reliable output. This is the hidden truth behind the numbers: the world demmands clean, consistent baseload power and it requires a mix of technologies including those that can run day and night, rain or shine. As we invest in renewables, we must also invest in proven, high-capacity solutions like nuclear energy not only to keep grids stable and decarbonize effectively but also to protect economy and energy security. Take a look to the below infografic: Why Did Renewable Growth Stall in Key Markets such as US, Spain, Germany, UK...? Why, for the first time, are countries traditionally supportive of renewables, such as Denmark... beginning to face empty tenders when it comes to installing new capacity? Could they be reaching the limit of the grid’s capacity to absorb energy sources like wind or solar? If that were the case, who should bear the cost of upgrading the existing infrastructure? #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition #BaseloadPower #SustainableFuture

With U.S. electricity demand projected to surge by as much as 60% through 2050 to fuel the AI boom—initiating a race against time to build sufficient power generation—the strong old bones of closed or retiring coal plants offer a shortcut to get new power projects online much more quickly. They can skip the two-year queue for high-voltage grid connections—regardless of whether these projects are for gas, wind, solar, geothermal, or even new-age nuclear.
