The Atlantic ocean offers more energy - green energy - than many dozens of nucleair plants together. We interviewed Axelle Viré, associate professor at Delft University of Technology.
Indeed somewhat convincing. Will be keen to hear about the extent of capital investment needed to bring this to fruition not just there but in the global south too.
Please look into the statement that transporting energy using H2 is cheaper as compared to electrons. The round trip efficiency of electric energy -> Hydrogen -> useful energy (usually also electricity) is pretty lousy (30 - 40%). Do look into all media that can be used.
Yep, but in al lot of cases cheap and efficient are related. In case of energy generation it is how much energy is supplied to the energy use at what price. If the energy losses during the transport phase are large you get higher cost. Furthermore there is still a shortage of turbines etc. which convert nateral energy into energy fit to use (electric energy). Hydrogen has promising aspects, other media also have promises. Just focussing on hydrogen is plain ignorant and takes a risk ee can not afford. Currently hydrogen is mainly produced by fossil fuels. Australia converts coal (!) into hydrogen and sells it to Japan. In Japan hydrogen cars sell a clean image, in reality these cars are the most polluting as you can get. With windturbines one would require 2 to 3 times the number if you use h2 as a transport medium instead of an electric cable. With windturbines on land this is not acceptable considering the visual impacts. Offshore you can state the same. Challenge is to find an efficient medium. H2 has a long way to go.
could the energy of the waves pulling on the anchors of a floating wind turbine be harvested additionally as a form of tidal energy? let's not omit tidal energy in general when it comes to harnessing the power of our oceans and seas.
Floating offshore Wind farm is great opportunity for energy transition. But. the best vertical or horizontal Wind farm floating? H2o is a promise. OK for peaks in power generation, but replacing gas in Europe will take time. it could become a new continent made only of wind turbines for hydrogen
Waarom waterstof ? Waarom geen energiedrager met een hogere energiedichtheid zoals diesel , als men toch syngas kan maken ? Rendement maakt niet uit indien er toch overvloedig en gratis wind is , energiedichtheid maakt wel uit . Waarom niet naar plaatsen gaan op zee waar de wind nog harder waait dan op de Noordzee , zoals bvb. Kaap Hoorn , Oost-Groenland , enz. De turbines zijn toch drijvend en kunnen overal ingezet worden .
Voor zover ik het kan zien, is dit kanaal puur astroturfing/shilling voor efuels, and ik geloof dat ze gesponsort zijn door de fossiele energy industrie. Er word maar heel zelden over iets anders als waterstof gepraat, en wanneer ze niet over waterstof praten doen ze alleen maar aan virtue-signalling.
I am surprised at how ignorant so many of these accademics are about the reality of power and how wind is so limited and unsuited to provide for our needs.
