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

Ninety-five percent of global investment in renewables in 2022 went to the wind and solar sectors, which the International Renewable Energy Agency said is too much. But it also warned that annual investment in the energy transition must grow fourfold to $5trn a year.
With investors inreasingly drawn to the 'two-way upside' offered by energy storage assets, Tamarindo provides a run-down of the European markets currently providing the best opportunities
Protests against Energix's 110MW Golan Heights project show that wind farms in the region are becoming more controversial. We look at the reasons behind the violence and whether resolution is possible.
Iberdrola has agreed to supply ammonia trader Trammo with 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia a year from 2026. Other renewables developers should look at the role green ammonia can play in their power-to-X plans.
The US will lose its position as the leading deployer of energy storage to Asia by the end of the decade, with China and India being the driving forces
Brookfield Renewables has agreed to buy the $2.8bn renewables arm of US utility Duke Energy. We look at how this acquisition fits with its recent rush of M&A deals, and how its M&A strategy is evolving for 2023 and 2024.
China has dominated battery manufacturing, but ethical concerns about the country's lithium mines mean pressure is mounting on energy storage companies and electric vehicle manufacturers to source their batteries elsewhere
The Danish government has been praised for an up-to-14GW offshore wind tender plan, but criticised for ending 12GW of 'open door' projects. Plus, it plans to take 20% stakes in future projects. What's going on?
The US Department of Energy has shared its strategy for growing the low-carbon hydrogen sector, including a focus on high-priority off-takers, cost-cutting and regional hubs. Its willingness to engage with hydrogen's biggest challenges should hope to green hydrogen investors.
The Middle East and North Africa has traditionally derived much of its wealth from oil and gas production, but times are changing with the introduction of ambitious renewable energy targets - however, they will be unachievable without policy changes promoting the wider adoption of energy storage
Enel has put a 205MW project on hold in Colombia after long-running protests, and it is not the only company facing such unrest. We look at whether the government can improve consultation before it's too late.
With lithium-ion batteries raising ESG-related concerns, investors are increasingly seeing value in long-duration storage
