The World Bank has predicted that conflict in the Middle East could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices, which is linked to increases in food prices - however it's argued that the forecasts do not take into account the ability of energy storage to meet demand
US offshore wind is beset by economic challenges, but this shouldn’t blind the sector to the potential for incorporating green hydrogen production into project plans
Attendees at 'Financing Wind Offshore' in Boston last week were quietly optimistic, even though the Biden administration's target of 30GW installed offshore wind by 2030 now looks out of reach. That positivity will be needed in the year ahead.

The world's five largest BESS integrators have been revealed - now the battle for market share will intensify, with supply chain challenges, perceptions of fire risk, and records on safety all set to influence future success
Africa has enviable wind resources but operational wind farms currently average just 108.4MW each. However, gigawatt-scale wind projects are on the way as African leaders seek to boost inward investment.
Pumped hydro storage has traditionally dominated in China, but the country is set for a surge in battery storage that could disrupt global supply chains
Political parties in the US, UK and Europe are starting to ready themselves for major elections in 2024, and stories from the last two weeks show that the climate and support for renewable energy could feature heavily.
Inflation is driving up the cost of low-carbon hydrogen and reducing the effectiveness of government support mechanisms, the International Energy Agency has warned. This is hampering the ability of developers to take final investment decisions. How can the industry get the support it needs?
The US Navy & Department of Defense recently announced storage investments totalling $100m as utilities begin relying on the military to bail them out in times of crisis
After a decade of stunning growth, renewable energy producers in Chile are struggling to cope with low power prices, grid difficulties, and restrictive government policies. But new 'energy transition' laws may offer hope.
A database run by a US-based electricity sector research organisation reveals the countries with the worst records for utility scale, or industrial, energy storage-related fires
The European Union has promised to unveil support for Europe's troubled turbine makers in 2024, but will this be enough to help them stand firm against Chinese rivals?
Chevron has bought into the ACES Delta green hydrogen production and storage plant in US state Utah. This will be a good case study for how to use hydrogen-filled salt caves as a form of long-duration energy storage.
A battery energy storage system at The Emirates stadium helped Arsenal top a Premier League 'green' ranking - other football clubs could now replicate the North London side's approach to sustainability
The lack of offshore wind bids in the UK's fifth Contracts for Difference auction process could spark much-needed reforms and help developers make a stronger case for onshore wind. Richard Heap looks at why this 'failure' might not be so bad.
