This is a global phenomenon and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar energy has decreased to become competitive with thermal stations like coal-fired power plants. Specifically, installation costs for a rooftop solar panel can be as low as $0.40 per watt today compared to an average cost of $3.50 per watt fourteen years ago. In the United States, a new market study attributes continued growth in the solar energy market to a number of factors including expiring tax credits on renewables and a novel 30% tariff on solar panel imports.

They have developed a new way of concentrating solar power (CSP), which uses hundreds of mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a water tower, heating water to power a steam turbine. Heliogen has improved on CSP by relying on increased innovations in computing power to prevent miscalibration of mirrors and ensure that all the mirrors are precisely aligned onto the central tower. This new method of CSP can produce temperatures up to 1000 °C, whereas previously, conventional methods of CSP could only reach 560 °C. Heliogen is hopeful that they will eventually be able to produce temperatures of 1500 °C, which is in the range needed for common industrial processes like concrete and steel production. Reaching 1500 °C would enable the production of carbon-free industrial heat, and possibly direct fuel generation, a step towards carbon neutral power. -RZ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1570653955839-3SFVQJ3DBYUP6WEDQ1X5/Other.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.8 California to Stop Buying From Automakers That Backed Trump on Emissions November 18, 2019 | New York Times | Coral Davenport California’s government has said that it will no longer purchase vehicles from automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler, and others for its state agencies.

The 2015 deal was originally designed to reduce sanctions and keep Tehran one year away from creating an atomic bomb. On November 10, 2019, Iran began constructing a second nuclear reactor at the Bushehr power plant, with a third reactor planned in the near future. Iran began enriching uranium to 4.5% in order to supply Bushehr although the deal limits it to 3.67%. Then, on November 11, 2019, the IAEA reported that Iran began refining uranium at Fordow, a location built in a mountain to protect it from aerial attacks and hidden from U.N. inspectors until 2009. The Iran Nuclear Deal had banned enrichment and nuclear materials at that site.

Reports are that the steel bases of these large wind turbines are “encrusted with sea life,” attracting mussels and crustaceans by adding structure in an area that didn't have structure before. However, increased boat traffic from the good fishing and general interest in visiting the landmark could be placing excess stress on the local fishery. While it appears that the wind farm is good for fishing and tourism, research has not shown whether there are any negative effects of the turbines themselves on the fish.

Here’s What You Need to Know. November 4, 2019 | The Washington Post | Debak Das The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) confirmed this week that there was a cyberattack on the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP), India’s largest nuclear power plant, in September. Although it was noticed on September 4 by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, officials at KKNPP initially stated that an attack had not occurred and that such an event was impossible. Further investigation by VirusTotal, a virus scanning website owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, found that a large amount of data from the administrative network has been stolen, meaning that the plant’s critical systems are more vulnerable to subsequent cyberattacks. The consequences for such attacks could lead to sabotage, theft of nuclear materials, and in the worst-case scenario, a reactor meltdown. Further implications are that the NPCIL is ignorant of the vulnerability of Indian nuclear power plants, which is concerning given recent increases in cyberattacks between India and Pakistan and a low threshold for military escalation between the two countries. -SR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1570653955839-3SFVQJ3DBYUP6WEDQ1X5/Other.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.6 California Blackouts Highlight the Importance of a Balanced Energy Mix November 4, 2019 | Forbes | David Blackmon The recent California wildfires have renewed conversations on the need for a renewable energy transition in America.

More recently, the country’s government set a target this past summer to bring greenhouse emissions to net zero by 2050. However, the tense political atmosphere surrounding Brexit has affected these efforts. Specific policies to meet the net-zero benchmark and to address other important measures, such as phasing out cars that burn fossil fuels, have not been implemented. Beyond relying on pure rhetoric, the British government will need to both increase electricity output without using more fossil fuels and encourage consumer behavior that is more environmentally friendly if Britain is to turn the tables on its energy future. -PH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1570653813555-MY4GWMS02HNJ2U76KCCR/Wind+Energy.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.3 This Kite Could Harness More of the World’s Wind Energy October 1, 2019 | CNN | Ahiza Garcia Makani, a California-based renewable energy company, is testing a self-flying kite to harness energy from the strongest winds in the middle of the ocean, where typical off-shore turbines can’t be built. Only 6 percent of the world’s energy comes from wind due to limitations in setup and maintenance. The kites could also provide power to communities that don’t have reliable resources for renewable energy but do have offshore wind potential, particularly island nations that pay high prices for imported fossil fuels. Makani’s kites work by moving electricity generated by rotors to the grid through a 1,400-foot-tether. Though they’re still undergoing testing, the hope is that they’ll operate 24/7, only returning to the platform to which they’re tethered in insufficient wind. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1551749016509-DLJ2FQTKWCIEDKA59OVU/Nuclear.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.3 Is the World Ready for Floating Nuclear Power Stations? September 30, 2019 | IEEE Spectrum | John Boyd The world’s first floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) arrived at its dock in Pevek, Chukotka, by Russia’s eastern Arctic coast, on September 14th. It had traveled 9,000 kilometers by towboat, from its shipyard in St. Petersburg, to Murmansk, where it was loaded with nuclear fuel. The FNPP, named Akademik Lomonosov, is comprised of a non-motorized barge and two pressurized-water reactors. It will replace an old land-based nuclear plant and a brown coal-fired plant, thus cutting 50,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year, according to Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation. To address the environmental and safety concerns that such a construction entails, especially since the plant must endure the Arctic cold and rough seas, the FNPP is moored and secured to a special pier, and coastal structures, dams, and breakwaters have been installed to protect the barge. -SR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1570653955839-3SFVQJ3DBYUP6WEDQ1X5/Other.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.3 A Massive Investment: Google Announces 18 New Renewable Energy Deals October 3, 2019 | Forbes | Ilker Koksal With the global renewable energy market expected to exceed $1.5 trillion by 2025, the movement for investing larger and larger amounts into green energy is growing amongst large corporations.

While traditional greenhouses use natural sunlight for lighting, vertical farms, especially in urban areas where compactness is important, typically rely on LEDs. Intelligent Growth Solutions, a company based in Scotland, has reduced the energy demand of its vertical farming towers by adjusting the wavelengths of light that LEDs emit so that photosynthesis and plant growth is optimized for different crops. This and other processes, according to the company, allow the towers to achieve greater yield compared to other greenhouses with the same amount of growing space and similar energy costs. These developments may increase access to fresh food and do so in a resource efficient manner. -PH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1570051206717-48JD9TCR51DDYTCIOTWU/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 8.2 Utilities’ Big Promises on CO₂ Questioned by Analysts September 25, 2019 | Scientific American | Benjamin Storrow With the surge in corporations pledging to lower emissions in response to increasing public pressure, some climate analysts are growing skeptical that companies will act on these promises.

Such plants would involve thousands of new solar panels connected to a cloud, from which people can buy and sell power on the electricity market. Currently, only 2.5% of Los Angeles homes are outfitted with solar panels, and it’s estimated that it would take over twice as many solar homes to replace just one natural gas plant, with hopes of this happening in 2030. The switch to virtual power plants, however, has the potential to gain momentum before 2030 because it both provides a backup energy source, and counters the up-front costs that push potential participants away from traditional solar.

March 3, 2019 | Forbes | Robert Rapier For this article, Forbes reporter Robert Rapier contacted Australian-Israeli startup Electriq~Global to understand more about how their technology behind onboard hydrogen storage could become the future of zero emission vehicles. Essentially, a hydride named potassium borohydride would act as the fuel, and would react with water to release hydrogen. This reaction would only occur in the presence of a certain catalyst, which would allow for the hydride to release hydrogen on demand. A vehicle that obtains energy using this method would produce zero carbon emissions, and there are no currently obvious technical issues with this mode of transportation. -JK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1551573552409-UZNMWO7UN9A73142EYY2/Solar+Energy.png Power Surge - Power Surge 7.4 Spacecrafts’ solar panels can serve double-duty as sails March 7, 2019 | The Economist Typically, satellites navigate in orbit using thrusters that burn fuel, which will eventually run out. One fuel-free satellite repositioning method uses a technique called differential drag. In lower orbits (less than 650 km above the Earth’s surface), air molecules from the Earth's atmosphere are relatively abundant and create more drag, causing satellites to move more slowly than those in higher orbits. Changing the effective drag can be accomplished by applying torque that adjusts the orientation of the satellite. Another alternative process involves harnessing the pressure from the bombardment of light onto solar panels to accelerate satellites into higher orbits. These developments may prolong the lifespan of satellites by limiting or entirely removing constraints caused by fuel. -PH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1552315666303-SZXYJ12GMRYQLIXTRFM9/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 7.4 India’s Clean Energy Revolution Needs to Start And End With Rural Consumers March 4, 2019 | Forbes | Nishtha Chugh India’s two-decade-long electrification movement has become a global success story in the energy world.

However, millions of rural households remain without electricity. Despite claims that India is “100% electrified,” a village only needs 10% of its buildings to be connected to the grid in order for Indian officials to deem it “electrified,” and there remains widespread dissatisfaction over unreliable energy; instead, those in rural regions are turning to their own non-grid solutions (including private solar power grids). -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1551749016509-DLJ2FQTKWCIEDKA59OVU/Nuclear.png Power Surge - Power Surge 7.4 Before Saudi Arabia Goes Nuclear, It May Have to Follow Iran’s Footsteps March 6, 2019 | Bloomberg | Jonathan Tirone An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference in Vienna this week has brought to the fore issues of regulation and monitoring of nuclear energy programs. Among these issues are concerns about Saudi ambitions for energy generation diversification. Saudi Arabia, though it is the world’s largest exporter of crude oil, has recently begun looking into nuclear energy with the hopes of addressing rising power consumption and desalination costs; reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and increasing oil available for export. According to IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano, Riyadh is expected to complete its first research reactor by the end of the year and has plans to mine uranium reserves.

Ukraine, in particular, balks at the prospect of Russia expanding its geopolitical influence through NS2 and of losing revenue if Russian companies transport less gas through Ukrainian territory in the future. Regulations in the European Union that have acted successfully as safeguards in the past may only delay this project. Because half of Germany's heating comes from gas and its leadership might want the opportunity to sell gas to its neighbors, the European giant has a large claim in the pipeline and is resistant to its opposition.

While leaving the EU doesn’t mean that Britain will lose gas and electricity, their decoupling from the European energy market could mean less efficient and more uncertain energy trade, meaning higher consumer prices. To prevent potential power delays as Britain makes its switch, companies have begun stockpiling equipment like wind turbine blades and power generators. There are already arrangements in place that would expedite nuclear power trade with the EU, which would hopefully offset inefficient fossil fuel trade brought on by a No-Deal.

This is part of a growing trend in the building of solar projects on water, so called “flotovoltaics,” of which Japan is the world leader with greater than 60 installations. As well as converting sunlight into a form of usable energy, the project design that Google is focusing on could also result in an improvement in fishing yields because the elevated panels could provide both shade and room for fish. While floating solar is proving itself to be a viable technology in Asia, the U.S. has been slow to embrace it, despite showing signs of interest in various municipalities like Los Angeles. The World Bank estimates that the potential for the floating solar market worldwide could reach 400 gigawatts, meaning that Google’s 10-megawatt solar array in Taiwan will be a small addition to a much larger cause. -JK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1551573572454-K2Z3RG0EXIJIPYGS0U4Q/Fossil+Fuels.png Power Surge - Power Surge 7.2 Glencore to limit coal production after pressure from investors February 20, 2019 | The Guardian | Rob Davies Glencore, a commodities trader and the biggest coal mining company in Australia, responded to investors’ concerns by announcing plans to limit coal production to its current levels.

Sunrun, based in San Francisco, has been one of the main benefactors, having made 9.0 percent of the nation’s residential solar installations this year, compared with Tesla’s 9.3 percent. These trends can be partially attributed to differences in business strategy: following SolarCity’s merger with Tesla, changes were made to accommodate the new vertically integrated business model with electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage. On the other hand, Sunrun’s focus on financing and installing solar panels, rather than manufacturing the products themselves, has led to its recent expansion. Both economic incentives in states such as California and greater overall demand for renewable energy will nevertheless see both companies continue to grow. -PH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1542051756019-F1FWSAISPN8OIXHQQGL0/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.6 Algal Biofuels Dead? ‘Not So Fast’, Says Algal Biofuels Researcher November 2, 2018 | Forbes | Robert Rapier Despite the well-publicized failures of numerous start-ups in the algal biofuel industry, the existing biofuel industry is actually thriving and being supported by both public and private funds. Startups that were built around the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of algal biofuels fell short of making credible claims about how much research and development (R&D) they would achieve in the field of biofuels, but succeeded in harvesting algae for other products. Dr. John Benemann, CEO of MicroBio Engineering Inc., has been working with algal strains and cultivation methods for years and is himself a skeptic of the current biofuel field, but would not call it “dead.” According to Dr. Benemann and the author of the article, the eventual success of the algal biofuel industry (turning algal biofuel into a commercial reality) is contingent on how many long-term R&D investments they receive in the next few years. So although the algal biofuel industry may not be “dead,” plenty of research still remains to be done before companies will have the right to claim to produce it on a wider scale. -JK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1542051781849-KRNS330VS4N5L96TSAXX/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.6 Towering Gravity-Based 'Batteries' Are Coming to India November 7, 2018 | Popular Mechanics | David Grossman Energy Vault, a small Swiss energy storage company, recently announced agreements with the Indian utility giant Tata Power Company and the Mexican building materials company Cemex to purchase its “gravity towers.” These structures work on a similar principle to hydroelectric power but use cement blocks in the place of water.

These power plants were the first were built in the U.S. in 30 years; development of new nuclear power plants was halted by many governments after the meltdown of a nuclear plant at Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Now, the U.K. government is encouraging the nuclear power industry. Despite this, Toshiba faced shortages in time and resources in its undertaking of building a nuclear power plant. According to the author of this article, Toshiba’s unfamiliarity with the political system of the U.K. was another barrier to its success in carrying out these plans. -NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1541433394618-2BLQ6S2BPCL3ZNE1ZDGW/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.6 Midterm Results: Climate and Energy Score Brilliant Wins And Stunning Losses In The States November 7, 2018 | Forbes | Jeff McMahon Because the Trump administration heavily favors the coal, oil and gas, and nuclear industries in its approach to federal energy policy, any significant renewables-friendly or climate-forward energy legislation implemented during the next two years will likely take place at the state level. However, the results of the midterm elections show that public support for such legislation differs widely from state to state. An initiative to keep certain areas off-limits to fracking companies was defeated in Colorado, and Arizona’s Proposition 127, which would have required its utilities to be 50 percent renewable by 2050, was also struck down.

November 5, 2018 | New York Times | Clifford Krauss Last Monday, President Trump renewed sanctions against Iranian oil in an attempt to pressure their political power in the Middle East, reminiscent of Obama’s efforts to curb Iranian nuclear which resulted in oil prices skyrocketing. So far, oil prices have not seen a similar increase, and have in fact been decreasingin the US - meanwhile, Iran’s neighboring states like Azerbaijan and Georgia feel the brunt of the sanctions. While Washington aims to bring Iranian exports to zero (resulting in a 2% decrease in global oil supplies), this lost oil is instead being replaced by sources in the US, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Analysts have projected that world oil supplies are high enough that Iran can’t leverage sea passage blockades against the sanctions, but others are skeptical that the world can scrounge up enough oil in a day that global prices won’t take a hit. - AA https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/11/4/2018/vol6/issue5 monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1541432592352-Z4X5W3GDKK929K184T9Q/Oil+and+Gas.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.5 The Saudi 'oil weapon' and the energy market: What investors need to know Tim Mullaney | CNBC | October 22, 2018 The alleged murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist at the Washington Post who wrote critically about the current Saudi Crown Prince, has led to increased uncertainty about how oil prices will behave in the next few months. The oil market has already been dealing with anticipated U.S. sanctions on Iran and Iranian oil, which officially took effect yesterday. This has led crude oil prices to increase, but has had little effect on major oil stocks and exchange-traded funds, which are unresponsive to short-term price changes. A response, on the part of the White House, to the killing of Mr. Khashoggi could lead to severe retaliation from the Saudi government in the form of an oil embargo. This would be detrimental to the U.S. but is unlikely, as Saudi Arabia remains dependent on long-term oil demand. -AD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1541432628935-164X1KV2S3X0IAFHOP3S/Grid.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.5 Utilities Cut Power to Prevent Wildfires. But Who Wins When the Lights Go Out? Ivan Penn | New York Times | October 15, 2018 The recent surge in California wildfires is partly the work of drought and climate change, but utilities could also be to blame. Power companies have been on the defensive this year as more and more connections are made between unnatural wildfire occurrence and utility lines and poles, leading to distrust of corporate decisions in the face of life-or-death situations. At least one utility company has gone bankrupt since the accusations began in 2017, leading companies like PG&E to cause blackouts deliberately in an effort to prevent wildfires. While some value the reduced fire risk, others oppose the demonstration of PG&E’s monopoly on power in the area through the decision to cut thousands of citizens from the grid without their input. Others think companies instigate blackouts in retaliation against the press and unfavorable legislation. What is the cost, really, to keeping the public in the dark? -AA A Midwest Energy Transition Will Help Drive Future U.S. Emissions Reductions Benjamin Storrow | Scientific American | October 26, 2018 The recent dismantling of Obama-era climate change initiatives has included repealing the Clean Power Plan, which would have required carbon emissions reductions on a state-by-state basis. This, combined with the difficulty experienced by many Northeastern states in matching climate-oriented policy with action, means that the Midwest could be the key player when it comes to reducing U.S. emissions. The good economics, alone, of natural gas and renewables are driving companies like Michigan-based DTE Energy Co. to phase out their gargantuan coal-powered plants. Admittedly, installing renewable energy sources, such as wind turbine arrays, poses a hurdle in rural Midwestern areas where they are considered an eyesore and a disturbance. While environmental advocates criticize what they view as a delayed transition - even in the most ambitious plans, some large coal plants will still be online in 2050 - they are optimistic about the ability of the Midwest to move to a more sustainable generation mix and set an example for the rest of the U.S. -AD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1541433127316-D0DT1DHU3RJ42RSNMYR2/Screen+Shot+2018-11-05+at+10.51.20+AM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.5 UK scientists turn coffee industry waste into electricity Adam Vaughan | The Guardian | October 14, 2018 A team of researchers recently developed fuel cells, devices that convert chemical energy into electricity, that generate electricity from the coffee-making process.

These scientists from the University of Surrey harnessed microbes that are also found in wastewater treatment plants to produce energy through the breaking down of coffee waste. Although the amount of energy from one unit is relatively small, coffee farms may financially benefit from the extra energy that many fuel cells confer. -PH How a Technology From Iceland Is Fighting Climate Change Robert Rapier | Forbes | October 16, 2018 Carbon Recycling International (CRI), an innovative energy producer based in Iceland, is fighting against climate change by using cheap electricity from geothermal plants to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to methanol. The initial settlement of Iceland, as with most new environments, involved the over-exploitation of natural resources such as trees. As a result, modern-day Iceland has virtually no trees and therefore lacks a very important means of removing excess carbon from the atmosphere. CRI obtains the carbon dioxide from geothermal steam that would otherwise vent into the atmosphere and uses it to make methanol, all through the use of cheap power. This cheap power comes from the efficient use of electricity and circumstances that allow for the relative input and output of energy to be economically viable. Technology like this could be adapted to any location in the world with access to carbon dioxide and could be a game-changer as carbon dioxide emissions keep rising. -JK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1541433394618-2BLQ6S2BPCL3ZNE1ZDGW/image-asset.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.5 These Funds Aim to Power Their Returns With Clean Energy Tim Gray | The New York Times | October 12, 2018 Increasing demand for renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, is evidenced by the growing number of stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds concentrating on the clean energy industry. Managed by companies ranging from Invesco to Fidelity, their holdings can include waste management and agricultural stocks in addition to the expected energy efficiency and renewable energy funds. As more people invest in renewable companies, their stock values will increase, making it easier for these companies to raise money. This creates what Jeff Waller, principal in the global climate finance group at Rocky Mountain Institute, calls a “virtuous cycle, potentially pulling in even more money.” An investment in clean energy can provide a win-win situation: win for the investor through a profit and a win for the environment. -MP EU teams up with Bill Gates to launch $115.2 million clean energy investment fund Anmar Frangoul | CNBC | October 18, 2018 Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) was established in 2016 as a $1-billion investor-led fund that finances companies working against climate change. In September, the fund invested in a portfolio of companies including Fervo Energy, a geothermal energy-focused startup. In the past week, BEV and the European Commission signed a memorandum of understanding as part of their joint establishment of Breakthrough Energy Europe (BEE). BEE is an investment fund focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy efficiency.

They also tasked the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with determining the efforts required to achieve this goal. The IPCC released its 1,200-page-long report on October 8th. It reiterates the substantial difference between the effects of a 1.5°C and 2°C temperature increase and the extensive measures that must be implemented immediately. In 81 of the 90 economic models studied, for example, these include “negative emissions,” or a means of removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. According to an article co-written by Julia Stasch, president of the MacArthur Foundation, and Chris Crane, CEO of Exelon, the publication of the report is an impetus for environmentalists and the energy industry to work together. They argue that a favorable solution to the crisis can be achieved by limiting carbon emissions, using nuclear power in a safe and secure way, rapidly deploying renewables, and exploring other options such as carbon-capture. The report also states that coal use must cease in the next decade, and fuels for transportation, particularly jet fuel, have to be greatly modified. The deadline for sourcing most electricity from carbon-free sources is 2050.

As with natural gas, the high prices are a delayed response to the U.S. sanctions on Iran and countries which purchase Iranian oil. The sanctions take full effect on November 4th and may dramatically lower global oil supply. Thursday’s slight recovery was due to a new report about U.S. oil production and stockpiles, which experts underestimated earlier.

These run the gamut from Apple products in his house to innovative transportation apps that are sweeping Los Angeles. -JK https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/9/23/2018/vol6/issue1 monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1537908355137-JIX7XJ5PD70HLD78ZCNV/Screen+Shot+2018-09-25+at+4.45.35+PM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.1 According to an internal memo leaked in June, the current administration will ramp up its support of struggling coal and nuclear plants in the near future. One proposal from the memo is to order grid operators to purchase electricity from these plants for the next two years, invoking sections of the Federal Power Act and the Defense Production Act of 1950 which are normally reserved for emergency situations. Further reversals of Obama-era environmental policy were also proposed this summer, including weakened regulations on methane, a greenhouse gas. The new rules, which concern drilling activity on federal land and repairs of methane leaks, could save the oil and gas industry almost $300 million. Because unprecedented production from non-member countries is helping to meet demand,OPEC will likely not be increasing oil production in 2019. Some interpreted this as a rebuff of President Trump, who has been vocal about his support for increased production from Saudi Arabia. However, U.S. oil sanctions on Iran have been more successful than expected, with major importers such as South Korea, India, and France electing to wean themselves off of Iranian oil rather than threaten trade relations with the U.S. Iran will likely continue exporting to China and Russia. -AD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1537908396362-GBD0WCAQ6UU92MCC840G/Screen+Shot+2018-09-25+at+4.46.24+PM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.1 This summer, the implications of energy technology, such as hydropower dams, solar panels, and natural gas pipelines, affected our society in varying ways. In July, a hydropower dam in southeast Laos that was under construction, nicknamed the 410 MW Project, collapsed and endangered the lives of ~6000 people. The Mekong River in Southeast Asia has always been an attractive source for clean energy acquired by hydropower dams, but the environmental effects of these dams, including soil erosion and lowering fish stock population numbers, threaten the region’s potential for economic growth in the future. In Africa, scientists have been simulating the installation of solar panels and wind turbines in the Sahara Desert, and have discovered that this could increase the amount of rainfall in the region by increasing ground temperature. And in the Gulf of Finland, the first deep water pipes have been laid for the Russian Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. Despite the intense political opposition to the project, there are not many legal avenues left to stop or even slow its rapid pace of construction. -JK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1537908430838-7EO48WTSJML0QHR4ZEUD/Screen+Shot+2018-09-25+at+4.46.54+PM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 6.1 The summer saw new developments in the trade war between the U.S. and China as it pertains to sustainability and the energy industry. U.S. energy producers are anticipating China’s proposed 25% increase in tariffs on fuel and the accompanying decrease in imports with trepidation. Previously, both sides were anticipating an economic boon from a budding energy relationship, and especially the US as it competes with Russia and Qatar for market share in China (the largest liquefied natural gas importer in the world). Just last month, two government-owned Chinese gas companies ceased all purchases from the U.S. and instead turned to energy sources in other countries. Such politically charged retaliation could have new and negative implications on the global economy. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1537908463761-3DZPFRUI98816BS44TCX/unnamed-24.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 6.1 Decisions by Samsung, Facebook, and other large technology companies to set new renewable energy goals are promising for the environment, but pose challenges to energy producers like General Electric. Samsung is following Apple’s lead by aiming to use 100% renewable energy by 2020; Apple currently uses entirely renewable energy to power all of its facilities, retail stores, offices, and data centers. Facebook has recently committed to the same goal as Samsung, after reaching its 2015 commitment to rely on renewable energy for 50% of its facilities by 2018 -- a goal it reached in 2017. Power companies like General Electric face rapidly decreasing demand for electricity from fossil fuels; global investment in coal and gas-fired power plants decreased to 38 percent last year from 71% a decade prior. GE is therefore increasing its own investment in power units that produce renewable energy, as well as technology compatible with wind and solar systems. Because the change in demand is driven by the lower costs of renewable energy more than by government policy or environmental concerns, it is expected to be a consistent trend. -NC https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt-7jg2h-b8x44-5whw2-abx59-le86a-yhjmw-xfjxr-dze5t-eynar-44h43-hnpnb-6mdje-zzg6b-9d5xg monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1525100132040-GFP1YRPCJU0RQS3WQC3U/unnamed-27.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.10 All of the ways embattled EPA chief Scott Pruitt has changed energy policy April 26, 2018 | PBS | Joey Mendolia Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chief Scott Pruitt is known for enacting a diverse array of changes to energy policy, as well as influencing the administration’s stance on international energy affairs, such as the Paris Climate Accord. However, his decisions have provoked scandals and investigations that may eventually result in his stepping down. These potential ethics violations include spending an inordinate amount of money on first-class flights and using his security team unnecessarily. But even if he steps down or if fired by Trump, his impact on the United States’ energy policies remains to be profound - notably in his opposition to the Clean Power Plan and in changing fuel emission standards. By considering some of his lesser-known deregulations, such as those on methane and pesticides, it is clear that Scott Pruitt has left his mark as the Chief of the EPA. -JK For the First Time, Maritime Shipping Has a Climate Target April 15, 2018 | Forbes | Dave Keating The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has finally decided to set emission goals for maritime shipping after years of contention. On April 13th, 170 countries agreed to halve shipping emissions by 2050 as an attempt to meet Paris Agreement goals. While this is a step up from opposition to the European Union’s 2005 Emissions Trading System (enacted to try to reduce pollution from air and sea transport), the promise falls short in outlining a specific and immediate plan. Notably, the United States has opposed measures proposed by the organization. Nevertheless, recent attempts to tackle emissions in the shipping industry, which accounts for 80% of global trade, show steady progress toward realization of the Paris Agreement’s goals, and long-term decarbonisation. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1525104673610-L6KI0WRWQBXTQP8T070Z/unnamed-10.png Power Surge - Power Surge 5.10 Husky Energy Refinery Blast in Wisconsin Results in Injuries April 26, 2018 | Wall Street Journal | Erin Ailworth and Dan Molinski An oil refinery in Superior, WI was rocked by an explosion on Thursday.

They have successfully replicated the mechanism by which nanoparticles coated with organic dyes gather a broader range of light. The subject of the work was upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which efficiently absorb near-infrared light to convert it into visible light. This was found in 2012 to be significantly more efficient when the particles’ surfaces are coated with dyes. Scientists were clued into the mechanism of this phenomenon by the absorption spectrums of the particles because they matched electron emission spectrums of the dyes. After ten years of work on the topic, the scientists were able to reproduce the effect, which increases the brightness of the converted light by 33,000 times and the efficiency of its conversion by 100 times. -NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241618015-1WG5T0X5Y1IF7Q594DGB/unnamed-24.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.10 As Hawaii Aims for 100% Renewable Energy, Other States Watching Closely April 27, 2018 | Scientific American | John Fialka This week, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) released the results of a study on how electric grids in Hawaii will be affected by the incorporation of high levels of intermittent renewable energy sources. Hawaii once generated all its power from expensive imported oil and gas; now, there are days on which 60 percent of its electricity comes from renewable sources, and the state’s ambitious Clean Energy Initiative sets a goal of 100% renewable energy generation by 2040. Using models, researchers recommended modifications to existing operational practices and utility equipment to best mitigate the variability of wind and solar power. -AD https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt-7jg2h-b8x44-5whw2-abx59-le86a-yhjmw-xfjxr-dze5t-eynar-44h43-hnpnb-6mdje-zzg6b monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1525100132040-GFP1YRPCJU0RQS3WQC3U/unnamed-27.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.9 Senators ask Trump to suspend EPA's use of biofuel waivers April 9, 2018 | Reuters | Jarrett Renshaw and Chris Prentice A group of five Republican senators issued a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to suspend the use of biofuel waivers. These waivers exempt oil refineries from a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirement to mix a certain amount of corn ethanol with gasoline. Exemptions are typically granted to about six to eight small refineries a year that face financial hardship. Last year, the EPA issued 25 exemptions following a federal appeals court ruling that required it to loosen exemption requirements. Some of these exemptions were to small refineries belonging to large companies like Andeavor. -NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241618015-1WG5T0X5Y1IF7Q594DGB/unnamed-24.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.9 States are Breathing New Air Into Nuclear Energy To Preserve Jobs and Environment April 13, 2018 | Forbes | Ken Silverstein With natural gas being a cheap, relatively stable energy source in recent years, many sources of renewable energy, especially nuclear power plants, at being put at a disadvantage. Plus, the environmental impact of nuclear reactors on the surrounding area, along with their expensive nature, leaves them unwanted by traditional environmentalists. However, states are still passing legislation to keep these plants operating - such as New Jersey, who recently voted to keep PSE&G’s Salem and Hope Creek plants alive. The effects of power plants to create jobs for local communities, supply power to a wealth of communities, and produce an alternative to carbon-based power is encouraging states across the nation, including New York and Illinois, that their usage of nuclear power has not reached an end just yet. -JK Total, With Energy Industry in Flux, Makes $1.7 Billion Bet on a Utility April 18, 2018 | The New York Times | Stanley Reed Giant corporations in the oil and gas industry are trying to stay ahead of regulations and quell public demand by making investments in clean energy. The latest in the trend? French multinational company Total, which is clubbed in with the likes of ExxonMobil and Chevron in a group known as the “supermajors” in the oil industry. Unlike the others, which are investing in clean energy generation (BP in solar, Statoil in offshore wind), Total just made a deal with a utility company and recently put its money behind energy storage in the past. -AD https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt-7jg2h-b8x44-5whw2-abx59-le86a-yhjmw-xfjxr-dze5t-eynar-44h43-hnpnb-6mdje monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241579947-1OLJ3KQVYM0T3FLUZ85I/image-asset.jpeg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.8 Reality Check: Are ships more polluting than Germany? April 12, 2018 | BBC News | Associated Press New studies find that the international shipping industry produces as much CO₂ as the entire country of Germany, accounting for over 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. If treated as a country, international shipping would be the 6th largest carbon dioxide emitter, due to large and outdated engines. The World Shipping Council is convening in London to address emission reduction and prevention through regulation by the International Maritime Organization, and by implementation of new, more fuel efficient ship designs. At the forefront of these green designs are battery-powered ferries and Japanese plans for high-tech windsail cargo ships. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241597822-DVL1A96142C5CJRU7GZH/image-asset.jpeg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.8 Kenya Cuts Power Tariffs for State-Owned Solar Farm by Half April 11, 2018 | Bloomberg | David Herbling Earlier this semester, we talked about how Kenya’s government is pushing the development of its geothermal energy sources in an attempt to shift away from expensive diesel-powered plants.

The methods by which they mine the materials that they use in their iPhones and by which their glossy retail stores are powered remain to be questionably sustainable. However, what they have actually accomplished is building and/or paying for enough renewable energy capacity to cover the cost of the entire company, which is still a respectable feat.

What has raised eyebrows is the tripled tax credit for the use of captured carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), which some view as a subsidy for fossil fuel companies. But others point out that oil produced using EOR represents a 37% reduction in carbon emissions, and that companies will now be encouraged to use the costly but effective technique of mitigating carbon emissions. The hope is that federal incentives will kickstart the widespread use of carbon capture in the same way they did for renewable energy sources. -AD https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt-7jg2h-b8x44-5whw2-abx59-le86a-yhjmw-xfjxr-dze5t-eynar-44h43-hnpnb monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241458585-XFQEYRXYLLMAJXS80VB0/unnamed-20.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.7 Retired Coal Plant Site To Help Launch East Coast Offshore Wind Industry April 5, 2018 | Forbes | Peter Kelly-Detweiler The closure of dozens of coal plants across the nation is a growing problem, with the abandoned smoke stacks quietly rusting away for decades. This is not the case with the coal plant at Brayton Point in Somerset, Massachusetts, which is to be bought by Commercial Development Company (CDC) as a potential site to kickoff the East Coast’s future offshore wind industry. Environmental Liability Transfer, Inc. (ELT) plans to focus on the environmental risks associated with the usage of an abandoned power plant and preparing the area for future use. Meanwhile, CDC can address the other concerns of the project, including addressing the local community and maximizing the economic value stream of the site. The site’s proximity to offshore wind lease sites and transmission facilities makes Brayton Point a promising stepping point in the future of offshore wind harvesting. - JK Migration forecasts could help prevent wind turbines and buildings from killing millions of birds April 5, 2018 | Science | Erik Stokstad When birds’ migration paths take them across cities and wind farms, millions of them die from colliding with turbines and brightly lit buildings. Birdcast, a website run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, uses observer sightings and weather patterns to predict bird migration. Benjamin Van Doren, a Ph.D. student at the University of Oxford, and Kyle Horton, a postdoc at Cornell University, have built a computer model to automatedly predict bird migration using weather patterns. The program has effectively forecast bird migrations up to 3 days ahead using factors like air pressure, temperature, and wind. Their hope is that owners of tall buildings and monitors at wind farms will use this computer model and Birdcast to turn off unnecessary lights and shut down turbines (respectively) when migratory birds are expected to pass through. -NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241491868-KFS0FR23FENDDH9HE662/unnamed-9.png Power Surge - Power Surge 5.7 Shell foresaw climate dangers in 1988 and understood Big Oil’s big role April 5, 2018 | Washington Post | Steven Mufson Royal Dutch Shell documents dating as far back as 1988 reveal that the company was aware of their large contribution to climate change and the difficulty of its reversal, but proceeded with its agendas anyway. The report, entitled “The Greenhouse Effect,” estimated that Shell was responsible for 4% of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, a number that has surely risen since its 1988 publication. It specifically warns that the detection of emission-induced consequences, like offshore structure damage and lowered living standards, may result in the implementation of countermeasures that come too late to be effective. These claims contrast with their public doubts about climate science and opposition to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement encouraging emission quotas. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1524241506930-1SR19YYS15WU8PFS1ND8/image-asset.jpeg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.7 Dormant Swedish Mine Comes Alive in Rush for Car Batteries April 3, 2018 | Bloomberg | Niclas Rolander and Jesper Starn Although it may seem as if electric vehicles (EVs) are a long way from becoming mainstream, markets are already anticipating their arrival. The prices of lithium and cobalt, key materials for the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which will likely power EVs, have jumped in the past 18 months, and companies are also on the lookout for reserves of graphite, a third material used in battery electrodes.

However, increasing regulations and the appeal of wind and solar sources are threatening its reign. Proponents of natural gas cite the limits of wind and solar energy and the flexibility of natural gas, which can be used “well after the sun has gone down,” notes Greg Bernosky, the director of state regulation and compliance at Arizona Public Service. Natural gas won’t be dethroned anytime soon. But as the prices of solar and wind farms continue to go down and regulations push for decreasing carbon emissions, natural gas may have to compete with these sources rather than prop them up. - JK Taxes On Natural Gas Pipelines Can Result In Money Flow For Rural Schools March 26, 2018 | NPR | Ashton Marra The construction of a natural gas pipeline in Medina County, Ohio, may generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for the area’s school district.

California Governor Jerry Brown met with President Xi Jinping last year to discuss climate change mitigation at a time when relations between Washington and overseas were becoming increasingly incendiary (and when Trump spoke of pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, which he later did). As a result, the Trump administration wants to countermand California’s right to set its own emission laws in a state known for spearheading nationwide environmental policy reform. Since, China has surpassed the U.S. in electric car sales, as well as implemented California-initiated alternative energy credits, rebates, and subsidies. -AA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1522858615629-P24ER8NZ0MFEB3794SJU/unnamed-19.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.6 Saudis, SoftBank Plan World's Largest Solar Project March 28, 2018 | Bloomberg | Vivian Nereim and Stephen Cunningham Earlier this month, we wrote about how Saudi Arabia is reshaping its economic and diplomatic strategyto account for changes in the oil market, investing in refineries with partners in China and Russia and considering a public offering for its national oil company.

While the decision to slash the square footage of parks protecting sites of cultural and geological importance drew fierce opposition, it was also favored by some lawmakers and locals. They say that selling rights to resource extraction on these public lands generates revenue for Utah public schools and that the establishing monuments like Bears Ears, which protects hundreds of thousands of ancestral Puebloan sites, hurts the state economy.

Previous attempts to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) using noble metals like gold and platinum were successful. However, the cost of these metals drove research into other conversion methods, including nickel. Used in bulk, nickel was relatively ineffective, but a collaboration involving U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered that individual atoms of nickel interacted differently with the CO2 molecules and worked effectively.

Barton’s hope for a smooth transition into exploring this new source of energy comes from combined commitments to the industry, which will decrease costs and improve efficiencies. Major enterprises, including Statoil and Deepwater Wind, are engaged in talks with the NYSERDA to claim the potential for 7,500 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind energy with their own turbines. The last step, and the most technical, towards making this dream into a reality, is actually procuring the turbines and getting them out on the water. Barton concludes that all this will help turn the East Coast into “one of the next big global frontiers for wind energy.” -JK Tough Talk As Oklahoma's Wind Industry Becomes A Political Target March 6, 2018 | National Public Radio | Joe Wertz Tax credits helped to bring wind companies to Oklahoma, previously an oil and gas stronghold, in the nineties.

Cobalt is difficult to replace in its role as a key ingredient in these batteries because it is most effective at ensuring their stability. Replacing it with an alternative element would mean producing lower-quality batteries, and industry experts industry predict that cobalt will not be excluded from production for at least another three decades. The increasing demand for cobalt is driving up prices, and the threat of a shortage of the element looms.

The basic process is the following: a neutron is shot into a fissile isotope (like Uranium-235, Uranium-233, or Plutonium-239). The neutron combines with the nucleus and is excited to such a high level that the newly formed (and highly unstable) atom promptly splits into fission fragments (e.g. Krypton or Barium). A relatively large amount of energy is released (100,000 as much as coal per unit mass), along with 2 to 3 further neutrons that each have a probability of impacting another fissile atom to initiate the process for new atoms. The energy released throughout the resulting chain of reactions is absorbed by a flowing fluid (like water) surrounding the reactor, which heats up to form gas, which in turn generates electricity via a turbine. TL;DR: fission is an extremely complicated physical process (the decay of atoms to form fast neutrons) which simply provides heat for an extremely low tech process (heating water to power a steam generator). The downsides to fission are high start-up costs for reactors and the problem of what to do with waste. On the other hand, fission represents a reliable (unlike solar/wind) and emission-free energy source to help balance the grid. -JAA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558666964-TCGDT8ZRJDH51543PRID/unnamed.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 5.1 New Jersey Embraces an Idea It Once Rejected: Make Utilities Pay to Emit Carbon January 29, 2018 | New York Times | Brad Plumer Led by new governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey is rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a cap-and-trade program that includes nine other northeastern states.

The second is biodiesel, which in addition to being an additive to fossil fuels can also be used as a standalone fuel source. One of the primary sources of biodiesel is cooking grease that restaurants would otherwise just throw out, although research is being done on biomass-production via microscopic algae. While these technologies sound “green” in the most literal sense of the phrase, however, the counterarguments are that increasing plant-fuel production will decrease food production and that solar cells are about 100 times as efficient per square meter of land use anyway.

This is important during emergencies when downed power lines halt electricity flow through large networks. During non-emergency times, the electricity generated is simply fed back to the grid, and the homeowners receive compensation for their electricity. Other benefits of microgrids include improved efficiency (fewer losses due to energy transfer to faraway places) and lowering of energy consumption (people psychologically feel like they have more skin in the game). Microgrids have been implemented already by some college campuses and military bases, even helping our own Princeton University stay partially online during Hurricane Sandy via our cogeneration plant.

The trillion-dollar industry produces 3% of the world’s emissions, burning heavy fuel oil (one of the dirtiest and cheapest energies), but wasn’t included in the 2015 Paris climate agreement. With the falling cost of renewables, the next step is to use hydrogen in a cargo ship’s auxiliary engines to reduce the ship’s emissions by 10%, and increase shipping regulations as the International Maritime Organization is attempting to do by 2020. -AA One of the biggest US oil fields turns to an unexpected power source: solar December 3, 2017 | The Chicago Tribune | Chris Mooney The Belridge oil field in Southern California has been in active use for over a century, and its operators began employing the technique of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) on the reservoir in the sixties. EOR involves steam injection into an oil field to force out oil, but lacks the rock fracturing aspect of fracking. In the past, steam generation for Belridge was powered by natural gas. Now, its operator has unfurled a plan for the construction of an 850-megawatt solar thermal array (California’s largest) to power the process. Executives cited California’s recent decision to extend to its cap-and-trade policy as vital to making this possible. Although big oil and big solar may seem like strange bedfellows, this sort of collaboration helps to reduce emissions from fossil fuel infrastructure and will become increasingly common. -AD https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt-7jg2h-b8x44 monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1511828876949-YB8OJ0U1V9IAQOR3HX8Z/Screen+Shot+2017-11-27+at+7.23.32+PM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 4.10 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems (or “thermal” solar systems) are fields of mirrors that concentrate sunlight on a central tower where energy can be stored in molten salt as heat, as compared to Photovoltaic (PV) systems in which semiconductor panels transduce light energy to store it in batteries as electricity. The primary benefit of CSP over PV is that heat storage is currently longer-lasting than electricity storage. On the other hand, CSP is also currently much more expensive than PV, since only about 70% of the energy to heat molten salts can be recovered as compared to 90% in batteries. Nonetheless, the Trump administration apparently believes CSP will ultimately prove more useful because of the benefit in storage: the DOE announced in September that it would invest $62 million in research into CSP to increase its efficiency. Labs like Sandia and the NERL are right now in the process of applying for grants from this block of money. -JAA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558666964-TCGDT8ZRJDH51543PRID/unnamed.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 4.10 EPA Revises the Social Cost of a Potent Greenhouse Gas November 20, 2017 | ClimateWire/Scientific American | Niina Heikkinen The Trump administration has changed the social cost of methane to less than 1/25th of its previous value. Because methane has a stronger warming effect than CO2, under short time scales, its 2020 cost was previously set at $1,400 per metric ton, compared to the new value of $55/metric ton. Now, the EPA only considers how methane will harm the US, even though the gas readily mixes in the atmosphere to impact the world. The change may help the EPA scale back regulations on methane emissions, by lowering the perceived value of reducing those emissions. -WA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1511828735552-3QVIZ9IMBB875N8R6NS7/Screen+Shot+2017-11-27+at+7.24.42+PM.png Power Surge - Power Surge 4.10 Stop subsidizing the Big Wind bullies November 9, 2017 | The New York Post | Robert Bryce In an opinion piece for the NYPost, Bryce calls out the Alliance for Clean Energy New York (ACENY) for bullying small communities for inhibiting the installation of ACENY wind turbine projects.

Furthermore, since 2013 there have been province-scale cap-and-trade programs in partnership with such Western entities as the EU, Australia, and California. In sum, this covers 1/8th of the world’s total annual CO2 emissions.

The report predicts that the US will accelerate its oil and natural gas production through fracking, becoming a top producer (although efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions could counter that trend). Gas may help replace coal in developing countries, but its costly methane emissions must be minimized. Renewables will continue becoming cost-competitive with fossil fuels, but the transportation and industry sectors will be more difficult to decarbonize, leading to an estimated 75% of energy demand from fossil fuels in 2040 (versus 81% in 2016), and emissions that exceed the Paris Agreement targets. -WA How Companies Are Pushing Ahead on Climate-Change Targets November 16, 2017 | Wall Street Journal | Zeke Turner and Sarah Kent At the U.N. Climate Change Conference, which wrapped up on Friday, leaders agreed that the actions of corporations will be crucial in meeting the Paris Accord targets for carbon emissions. Currently, 89% of the world’s largest companies have plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but a closer glance reveals that only 14% of those companies have made commitments that match the goals of the Paris Accord. Such corporations, which are investing in renewables, reducing energy consumption, and reducing investments in coal, are not necessarily motivated by the Accord at all.

Today, about 620 million Africans live without access to electricity, and many electrical grids that are operational in Africa suffer from frequent blackouts. However, last year, Africa added 4,400 MW of power across the continent - a record setting mark - thanks to the falling price of solar panels and wind turbines and a newfound exploitation of hydropower in several countries. Other innovations that have been driving the rise of installed African electricity include the deployment of mini rooftop solar installations with a “pay-as-you-go” model and village-level mini-grid systems. Africans are implementing these unconventional solutions because, apart from the falling prices of solar and wind power, the costs for installing traditional region-wide grid systems today in many African countries are simply untenable. -JPM https://puea.princeton.edu/powersurge/2017/4/29/power-surge-310-zrgy6-g7fsp-b3rkj-rgbgt-f489z-5f9ne-7j3fx-zg8br-9ms3b-a4xpt monthly 0.5 2022-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558666964-TCGDT8ZRJDH51543PRID/unnamed.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 4.8 Trump Team to Promote Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Power at Bonn Climate Talks November 2, 2017 | New York Times | Lisa Friedman Last and this week, officials from countries within the Paris Climate Agreement (including the US, since our commitment lasts until 2020) are meeting in Bonn, Germany to work out rules and guidelines to try to turn vague promises into reality.

Although the US induced fusion in a hydrogen bomb way back in 1952 and the USSR had controlled fusion within reactors by the 1960s, nobody has ever achieved “breakeven”: getting out more energy from the fusion reaction than we put in to start it. The temperatures required to initiate fusion are on the order of hundreds of millions of kelvin, at which point the fuel becomes ionized to the plasma state. Plasmas are notoriously difficult to manage, which has meant very slow improvement and led to the popular adage “fusion is always 30 years away”. It has led many to ask why we need this new energy source at all. Proponents of fusion argue that unlike solar it would be available in any weather condition and wouldn’t require massive land use; unlike fossil fuels it would be totally clean, and its fuel would be outrageously cheap and globally available (requiring only seawater and used batteries); and unlike fission there would be no risk of meltdown (the trouble is getting the reaction going, not stopping it), with radioactive product half lives on the order of hundred rather than million years. Still, fusion research has already taken in billions of dollars and will require billions more, not to mention the opportunity cost of generations of scientists tackling this problem; we could instead be focusing on making more efficient batteries or solar cells.

The report found that the (1) low cost and quick construction of natural gas plants, (2) subsidies to solar and wind power (e.g. via state renewable portfolio standards), and (3) flattened demand for energy over the past decade have all contributed to the continual decline in the use of coal and nuclear power. They argue that maintaining these “baseload” sources in the energy portfolio is important for mitigating high-risk, low-probability shutdowns of the grid. What’s more, the economic damage from coal and nuclear facility retirements continues to weigh heavily on communities in which they are based. One potential counter-measure based on this analysis is a subsidy to those energy facilities that maintain a 90-day supply of fuel on hand. Reply comments will be issued by November 7, and a decision on action will be made by the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency by November 22.

However, some new roadblocks have arisen for Energiewende as of recent. First, the initiative has raised the price of electricity throughout the country since 2000 in order to finance renewable energy subsidies, and there is no sign the prices will reduce in the near future. Second, German greenhouse gas emissions have stagnated since 2009, and even rose last year. The reason for the recent rise in greenhouse gas emissions is a newfound reliance on coal power plants in the wake of Germany’s abandonment of nuclear power and an increase in the number of gas/diesel vehicles on Germany’s roads. Putting pressure on the coal and auto industries seems to be the quickest way to make progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Germany for the near future. -JPM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558968613-RI94WC7PZ77PQGDVGX5I/unnamed-1.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 4.4 How Fracking is Upending the Chemical Industry October 4, 2017 | Nature | Mark Peplow The improvement of fracking technology, in which a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals is injected into rock in order to fracture it and force out trapped hydrocarbons, has brought about glut in the world oil and gas supply. The resulting abundance of natural gas is helping to usher out “King Coal,” but it also has the potential to transform the chemical industry. We can now bypass the process of breaking down the long hydrocarbons found in oil, instead using methane, ethane, and propane sourced from shale to make chemicals used in everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals. Such “gas upgrading” could lessen the environmental footprint of the industry. -AD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558981337-9LSU55RJB2YPNJTWS7FQ/unnamed-2.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 4.4 How Energy-Rich Australia Ended Up With World's Priciest Power October 5, 2017 | Bloomberg News | Perry Williams During the last decade, Australia’s government has changed its climate and energy policy over and over again. Eventually, it settled on making the transition to renewable energy by using natural gas as a fallback. However, producers exported the fuel to higher-paying buyers, leaving Australia with a severely restricted supply. The nation has been forced to lean on aging coal-fired power plants to provide reliable power, and industries that heavily rely on cheap power have been crippled. Some investors, however, have seen the crisis as an opportunity to install battery farms and buy out struggling businesses. -AD Powelson: FERC ‘will not destroy the marketplace’ in DOE cost recovery rulemaking October 5, 2017 | UtilityDive | Gavin Bade The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission member Robert Powelson assuaged concerns Wednesday by promising the FERC will protect the functioning of wholesale power markets. This statement comes in response to a new rule issued by the Department of Energy to provide cost recovery for coal and nuclear power plants. Before this statement was made, energy analysts and regulators were concerned that the DOE rule would lead to an unraveling of wholesale power markets. In addition, the FERC requested information from stakeholders and energy industry leaders on their opinions about the DOE ruling. -JPM Elon Musk says he can rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid with solar October 6, 2017 | BBC Staff Weeks after Hurricane Maria, most of Puerto Rico is still without power. While the U.S. Congress may be slow to repair the island’s grid (see last week’s article), Elon Musk claims he can do it with Tesla’s solar technologies. Musk’s SolarCity has successfully powered smaller islands like American Samoa, pairing solar with batteries to store enough electricity for three days without sun. Can this strategy be scaled up for Puerto Rico, as Musk claims? The Puerto Rican governor is open to the idea. -WA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5905040cc534a5c0bcd8fe0c/1507558994972-YWTDTTTEB3NOHETPO5IU/unnamed-3.jpg Power Surge - Power Surge 4.4 G.M and Ford Lay Out Plans to Expand Electric Models October 2, 2017 | New York Times | Bill Vlasic and Neal E. Boudette As Europe and China pledge to eliminate sales of gasoline-powered vehicles in the next few decades, these American automakers are taking their own steps towards an electric car future. General Motors hopes to have 20 new all-electric models by 2023, while Ford plans to add 13 models in the next several years. While regulatory pressure is incentivizing this push toward electric, consumer demand may be slower to catch up. Unlike international companies, G.M. and Ford have no set date for the end of gasoline-powered vehicles. -WA
