As part of the 12 billion GBP Ten Point Plan for an industrial revolution towards a greener economy, the UK Prime Minister has established:

Point 2: Low Carbon Hydrogen Technology

The UK is aiming for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, to create hydrogen-renewable energy-CCUS clusters to advance technological development, and pilot a "Hydrogen Neighbourhood" for 100% hydrogen end-use and scale up to an entire town by 2030.

This will be supported by a 240 million GBP Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, and developing a hydrogen supplier business models and revenue mechanism for increased involvement and investments from the private sector. Up to 2030, private sector investment is expected to be 4 billion GBP, and projects should save 41 MtCo2e between 2023-2032, 9% of 2018 UK emissions. This could support for up to 8000 jobs by 2030, potentially unlocking up to 100 000 jobs by 2050 in a high hydrogen net zero scenario.

Industry pilots will start in 2023 to allow up to 20% blending of hydrogen into the gas distribution grid of all homes on the gas grid and district heating trials. There is an interim target for 1 GW of Hydrogen production capacity and a village-scale hydrogen heating trial in 2025.

Record Tanker Rates Cripple U.S. Crude Oil Flows to Asia

The Iran war has made oil tanker voyages so inefficient that vessel availability has crumbled and freight costs have soared to record-highs, all but erasing the incentive for shipping crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asia. The cost of shipping crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to China soared to as high as $80 million earlier this month. That’s ten times the average tanker rates that had held for years before the Iran war. Freight rates have eased from the record highs seen in early October, but they were still about $60 million for…

Fuel Oil Becomes Asia’s Next Cost Shock

Singapore’s shipping-fuel market is adding another layer of cost to Asian trade. Disrupted supplies from the Middle East and Russia, resilient bunker demand and prohibitive freight rates have pushed high-sulphur fuel oil above the price of the crude used to produce it. Seasonal relief from Gulf producers and additional Chinese export allowances could ease the squeeze towards year-end, particularly for very-low-sulphur fuel oil. But with replacement cargoes expensive to transport and Russian supplies vulnerable to further disruption, a return…

Syria's Energy Comeback Could Reshape Middle East Oil and Gas

Syria is undergoing countrywide reconstruction after more than a decade of conflict, which caused extensive infrastructure damage and led to millions of people being displaced. As Syrians rebuild their lives, the government has big plans for economic diversification and growth to support long-term recovery. Thanks to its favourable geographic position, this includes the development of a strong energy sector that could help eventually establish Syria as a regional hub. Syria is now led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who formed a transitional government…

Can Undersea Volcanoes Power Cities? A Seattle Startup Just Took the First Step

A geothermal startup aiming to source energy directly from undersea volcanoes just hit a major milestone that could bring round-the-clock clean energy to cities on the northwest coast of the United States and serve as a critical proof of concept for other regions, with particular relevance for the other 14 countries situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Seattle-based energy startup Endurance Energy just announced that it successfully created net-positive energy from its underwater geothermal plant in a world first. The company successfully…

Trump Targets $6.2 Billion Offshore Wind Project Nearing Completion

United States President Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted offshore wind since coming into office last year, as he strives to expand the country’s fossil fuel sector and shift the focus away from renewable energy. Trump has sought to halt the development of several offshore wind projects and has even resorted to paying companies to relinquish their leases on areas off the U.S. coast to instead invest in oil and gas projects. Now, Trump is looking to rescind approval for Connecticut’s first offshore wind project, Revolution Wind, as…
