UK methane leak spotted using satellites Researchers from the University of Leeds have detected methane leaking from a faulty pipe in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK, using GHGSat satellite data – part of ESA’s Third Party Mission Programme....

Leeds University researchers used ESA-provided satellite data to find a 200 kg/h methane leak near Cheltenham that was subsequently fixed by the utility company

This week saw the first proper voyage of our brand new ship!

It’s been great seeing our efficiency measures in operation (finally!), but it also allows us to do something else -

We started digital twin simulations of these voyages, and their actual wind conditions, for our upcoming rotorsails!

Our new van with the door slid open, putting the "O" from Octopus in front of the "rgy" of Energy. Oops.

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋

A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in.

Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

Solid-state heat pumps seem very neat but I didn't know any were near commercial viability yet

Nine new satellites detecting methane just arrived in space. Finding (and then punishing) methane leakers is one of the fastest ways to reduce global warming.

Posted a thread on Twitter yesterday ahead of the meeting the car industry was having with Government to push for changes to the ZEV Mandate

Didn't get a chance to post on here (sorry) but posting now if still of interest to people

Beautiful

This also a factor I fear….sigh

It’s definitely disappointing. 😔

I have a Tesla but love Renault design at the moment 💯

I’ve put together a small starter pack of real hydrogen experts.

Let me know if you’d like to be added.

Shiny new Renault 5 EV - it’s very yellow

Wow! The new Renault 5 EV has a starting price of £22,995 for the 40kWh version and £26,995 for the 52kWh version - with a range of 248 miles.

We’re starting to see some really attractively priced new EVs.

Rooftop solar PV provides 107.5% of grid demand in South Australia Rooftop solar PV in South Australia broke the 100% grid demand contribution on Sunday afternoon, peaking at 107.5%.

I work in decarbonising shipping for a UK ship owner, making our existing fleet more efficient as well as investing in new ships with new technologies and fuels.

Who knew that ships could use sails to harness wind energy (apart from thousands of years of seafarers) 🤓

Thanks for the heads up, I had followed but the profile is gone now.

Colin Walker, head of transport at the ECIU, is here folks

I did a thing and created a starter pack. Anyone who’s interested in EVs is welcome to join.

Here’s my (work in progress) list of good EV people. Anyone else that I should add?

It’s so refreshing here!

This looking really interesting as a replacement for our gas Firebelly which we only try to use on the coldest of nights. Bit of a treat.

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables break generation records and are so cheap?" I have been asked.

The main reason: Gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries.

Oh you did well! We only managed 4.5kWh today bring back the ☀️☀️

So far it’s like someone has opened the windows and let the fresh air and sunshine in over here @bsky.app
