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 cost of living crisis means more people are considering going off-grid, and a new study shows that energy storage could enable two million family homes in Europe to do just that
The ample solar resources in the US west mean opportunities for solar arbitrage abound, with the result that storage investors can expect excellent returns on investment
Ørsted has announced $2.3bn potential impairments at its US offshore wind projects, while RWE won an underwhelming seabed leasing auction in the Gulf of Mexico. We look at the current challenges facing developers in the US offshore market.
India is set to close bidding in its first green hydrogen tender this week. This will give us a clear indication of how the private sector has received all of the policy support announced by the government in the last 12 months.
Twelve months on from the introduction of the US Inflation Reduction Act, energy storage manufacturing is booming, but slow implementation of the law is delaying some projects
It is three months until business and political leaders gather in Dubai for the COP28 conference, which could spur further investment in the global wind industry. But an oil and gas powerhouse is an unlikely location for action to reduce $7trn of subsidies paid annually to fossil fuel firms.
The UK National Grid is preferring to dispatch higher carbon assets rather than energy storage in the balancing mechanism, a strategy that is putting billions of potential UK storage investment at risk
Shipping groups are testing high-tech sails to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. We look at how this new approach to an old technology could help the industry towards its goal of 50% emissions reduction by 2050.
The business and scientific communities are bringing forward innovations designed to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of green hydrogen production. We look at five innovations announced in the last month.
The energy storage industry is at a crucial phase of its development, only those companies that effectively plan how to extend the lifetime of their technology will survive
Canary Wharf Group recently signed a power purchase agreement with Brookfield to use wind power in its own operations. We consider how the wind and commercial property sectors could work more closely together.
The use of utility scale battery storage for price arbitrage is increasing dramatically, but this could be leading to faster battery degradation, reduced revenues and greater fire risk
Serbia is conducting its first renewable energy tender, but it is not the only country in the Western Balkans that is seeking more onshore wind capacity. We look at the state of onshore wind across the region.
