In either way, only 120-160 MW of electrolysers has been installed to Germany out of the 10 GW target by 2030.

"The short- to medium-term supply costs of renewable hydrogen exceed the indicative willingness
to pay."

Unfortunately what that means in terms of hydrogen aspirations is left without clear answer. Calling hydrogen ramp-up technology-neutral is quite a flex but then again replacing strict electrolyser targets (10 GW by 2030) with flexible, tells another story.

The 30 pages analysis about hydrogen in German Energy transition monitoring report is mostly indefinite and exploratory in nature, but some gems can be found.

Seems that German government officials also acknowledge the difference between h2- capex visions and the reality. That's A+ for homework!

"Finally we have a study by @theicct.org
showcasing that my two year old thesis was correct. ICE vehicle emissions have stagnated, and in fact rising.

Only the electrification of transportation can bring the emissions down."

Have we reached the plateau of wind power generation cost decline in major European wind power markets?

According to @irena-official.bsky.social the cost of wind LCOE came rapidly down until 2019 after which the average cost has not declined but increased 17% (2020-2024).

Imagine how much the municipality of Amsterdam invested in the old days for a couple of plugs!

By now there are more than 8000+ public plugs in Amsterdam!
(150.000+ in NL! Mostly AC)

German BEV market share seems to finally recover from last year dull but is only reaching 2022 level YTD.

Nevertheless, the market without 3000-5000 euro subsidies is completely different to the one before. Solid and steady progress.

China's clean power growth is stunning, but in relation to the size of the power market, China is not such a singular success story. 15 countries achieved a larger increase in clean power generation in the past five years than China, when measured as a share of their total power generation in 2019.

"UPDATE to the battery electric vehicle market share in Europe. Two things:

1⃣ PHEV market share has risen from around 8 to 9,7% which is a a gain but remains to be seen how persistent.

2⃣ BEV market share remained stable 2025/ Q1-Q2 contrary to previous beginning of the years"

Pitää päivittää kuvaaja!

Suomen päästökauppasektorin laitosten päästöt pienenivät 2,1 miljoonaa tonnia vuonna 2024

Nyt kun 2024 tiedot on julkaistu: lasku jatkui.

Nostetaan sellainen pikantti yksityiskohta, että toimialakohtaisissa päästöissä terästeollisuus on nyt ensimmäistä kertaa suurin (4,3 Mt), polttolaitokset on 4,1 Mt (2023: 5,1 Mt).

Polttolaitokset 2013-2024: -77 %!

Uusintakuvaaja maanantaille. Päästökauppasektorilaitosten päästöissä on syytä huomata kohta "Muut laitokset".

Tähän kategoriaan kuuluu KAIKKI sähkön- ja lämmöntuotantonlaitokset Suomessa.

Näiden laitosten päästöt ovat vähentyneet 70% kymmenessä vuodessa! Hattuapäästä, niille jotka sen ansaitsee.

Why would you accept 3-4 times error in hydrogen studies related to cost estimates which directly influences our understanding of the clean hydrogen potential today and in the near future? 2/3

Good morning and a sunny last day of the week. Here's a nut to crack 🥜

Would you accept a 3-4 times error in any science study related to astrophysics and ballistic trajectories or baseline default values in medicine related to blood pressure or cytostatic treatment level? 1/3

Where do you get 4-8 times more range?

People loved the eUp when there was not something better. Now there is and we have the technology.

My point is less about the price and more about the specs and battery especially. Add 15-20 kWh battery and 2-3k€ price and this thing will sell like cakes. They don’t want it to do so.

You must be talking about some other picture

But hey, you did the writing, although, I would write something completely else.

There’s absolutely no new product or pr concept launch that can divert from this direction that VW and many other OEMs are heading.

Only committed actions matter.

I was criticized 2 years ago when they launched ID2 for calling out their wishy washeness and here we are. That one is delayed too.

Basically, both delay action until 2027, when it could have been taken today.
