In October 2020, the Australian Government announced AUD 2.47 billion in funding for measures that aim to lower energy prices, reduce emissions and boost the economy. As part of this initiative, the Program has been allocated AUD 50 million over six years (2020-21 to 2025-26) to support pilot projects for microgrids in regional Australia.

The Program aims to support microgrid projects that:

- Have been found to be feasible through a feasibility study or equivalent investigation

- Include the deployment of equipment and technology solutions that enable the microgrid demonstration

- Demonstrate improved resilience and reliability of microgrids in regional areas

- Are capable of resolving remaining barriers to final investment and full deployment.

Released to the public on Monday by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, the newest five-year plan focuses…

The Race to Unlock the World’s Hidden Hydrogen Reserves

Countries around the globe are racing to become the world’s first geologic hydrogen hotspot. A few years ago, the United States Department of Energy released a bombshell report that estimated that there are trillions of metric tons of natural hydrogen deposits sitting in underground pockets around the world – and that a considerable amount of that could be extracted for industrial use. Energy companies around the world have been eagerly exploring for the most ideal locations to put that theory to the test – and they’re zeroing…

Low Rivers, High Stakes: Europe's Nuclear Cooling Crisis

The extreme heat experienced across Europe in recent weeks has caused widespread disruption to nuclear power plants. Governments across the region have been forced to take extraordinary measures to keep nuclear facilities operating, but some are failing to meet their goals, with river levels at record lows. This is expected to have a significant impact on Europe’s GDP, with economic losses in the billions. Europe has endured five heatwaves so far this summer, bringing record temperatures, prolonged drought, and wildfires, with many…

Iraq Wants to Double Oil Output—and Needs OPEC to Get Out of the Way

Iraq wants to more than double its oil production within six years. First, it needs OPEC to let it. Baghdad is targeting output of between 8 million and 10 million barrels per day, up from roughly 4 million bpd before the Iran war, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said Friday. Iraq dispatched its oil and finance ministers to Saudi Arabia the same day to make the case for a higher OPEC production quota. OPEC+ has hired DeGolyer and MacNaughton to independently assess the maximum sustainable production capacity of most members, including Iraq. The consultancy…
