Impacts of Intermittent Energy
The increasing integration of intermittent generation sources like solar and wind across the U.S. has contributed to rising retail power prices. The variable nature of these renewable energies requires significant investments in grid stability and reliability measures, such as backup generation and energy storage, to ensure a consistent power supply when renewable output fluctuates. The […]
Clean Ammonia | Fertilizing a Blue Transition
We find that subsidized blue ammonia can reach the same production cost and even undercut gray ammonia costs, allowing it to be competitive in current fertilizer markets and for new decarbonization applications.
ARCH2’s Hydrogen Hurdle | Competing in the Clean Hydrogen Market
Late last month, the DOE awarded its first tranches of funding for Phase 1 of the H2Hubs initiative, designed to reduce project planning costs. ARCHES, ARCH2 and PNWH2 received up to $90 million collectively, cutting their Phase 1 costs by 20%. However, the financial viability of some of these hubs remains uncertain. In Enverus Intelligence® Research’s […]
