How Early Climate Leadership Locked Germany Into The Wrong Hydrogen Bet
Germany’s hydrogen pipeline from nowhere to nowhere did not emerge from ignorance or indifference. It emerged from good intentions formed early, when climate risk was clear and credible solutions were scarce. In the 1990s and early 2000s, jurisdictions that accepted climate science faced a thin menu of options. Wind and … [continued]

CATL Batteries Stand Out For Minimal Degradation In EVs And Long-Term Energy Storage Systems
Morgan Stanley decided to do some research on battery degradation in China. It got data from ride-hailing firms on 12 different EV models — 100 cars in total — and measured how much their battery capacity declined. The cars showed considerable differences in battery degradation. The company also studied degradation … [continued]

The most important policy lesson from the 400 km European hydrogen backbone segment with no suppliers and no offtakers—a pipeline from nowhere to nowhere—I wrote about recently is that decarbonization succeeds or fails on demand realism, not technological aspiration. Europe knew, as early as the late 2000s, that deep electrification … [continued]
