Cummins, Alstom, and the Long Tail of Hydrogen Mistakes
Both Cummins and Alstom lost with hydrogen, but they lost in different ways, and that difference matters. Cummins spread capital and management attention across a broad set of hydrogen pathways, including fuel cells and electrolyzers, then ran into the market reality that hydrogen demand for energy applications was weaker, slower, … [continued]

Agrivoltaics Can Save US Farmers In More Ways Than One
A new study deploys computational fluid dynamic models to describe how the solar panels in agrivoltaic systems can reduce wind damage and soil loss, outperforming natural windbreaks.

Meloni-Backed Biofuels Project Under Scrutiny Following New Investigation
Investigation by SourceMaterial and Politico, supported by data from T&E, into Eni’s publicly-backed Kenyan biofuels project, shows that it is struggling to deliver on its promise to produce non-edible food crops on poor quality land. An investigation carried out by SourceMaterial and Politico, with support from T&E data, shows that an Italian government … [continued]

Oʻahu 2050: A Hard-Charging Roadmap to a Zero-Carbon Energy System
What follows is a draft roadmap for a decarbonized O’ahu. This roadmap does not appear out of nowhere. It follows a long chain of analysis that rebuilt Oʻahu’s energy system piece by piece. Earlier articles stripped away overseas aviation fuel, international maritime bunkering, and military demand to isolate the island’s … [continued]

Hydrogen at Sea Just Got Even More Expensive: What DNV’s Safety Findings Mean
The final DNV study for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) matters because it changes the hydrogen shipping debate from an argument about theoretical decarbonization potential into an argument about engineering burden and cost. DNV is not saying hydrogen-fuelled ships are impossible. It is saying that hydrogen requires a design-based … [continued]
