H2RES will have a capacity of 2 MW and will be situated on Ørsted s premises on Avedøre Holme in Copenhagen. The project will investigate how to best combine an efficient electrolyser with the fluctuating power supply from offshore wind, using Ørsted s two 3.6 MW offshore wind turbines at Avedøre Holme.
The facility will produce up to around 1,000 kg of renewable hydrogen a day, which will be used to fuel zero-emission road transport in the Greater Copenhagen area and on Zealand. The project is expected to produce its first hydrogen in late 2021.
In less than three years, Ørsted has, with partners, established nine renewable hydrogen projects in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom so far, spanning from demonstration projects like H2RES to industrial-scale visions like the potentially 1,300 MW Green Fuels for Denmark project.

The new all-electric Manta GSe is the first electric RestoMod by Opel, combining the classic style of the iconic Manta with the latest electric powertrain for sustainable motoring. The four-cylinder engine under the black bonnet has been replaced by an electric motor with 108kW (147PS) and 225Nm of torque. The vehicle also comes with the original four-speed gearbox, allowing drivers to manually change gears, or alternatively, engage the fourth gear and drive automatically.
The Manta GSe is equipped with a 31kWh lithium-ion battery and has a range of around 124 miles. As with the current Vauxhall electric range, it features regenerative braking to improve range. Charging takes place through a 9kW on-board charger with a full charge taking just under four hours to complete.

With substantial climatological and topographical constraints limiting options for the development of onshore wind and solar in South Korea, offshore wind presents a clear route for the country to reduce its dependency on imported fossil fuels. As such, the progression of offshore wind projects is key to seeing the country meet its decarbonisation targets as outlined by President Moon Jae-in’s Renewable Energy 2030 Implementation Plan.
Following the successful delivery of a preliminary feasibility study and site screening in the initial stages of the development, K2M, in partnership with Dohwa Engineering (Dohwa), will now deliver on the next stage of the project. This will include design of the turbine foundations, inter-array, export cables, and offshore substation. K2M and Dohwa will also carry out the energy yield assessment and manage the invitation to tender and permitting processes, with the goal of streamlining the project and ensuring i

The Turbine Supply Contract confirms that GE Renewable Energy will provide 87 units of the Haliade-X 14 MW offshore wind turbine, marking the first commercial commitment for this turbine, which is an upscaled version of the powerful Haliade-X 13 MW. The contract is subject to financial close for Dogger Bank C which is expected in late 2021.
GE Renewable Energy and Dogger Bank have also finalised the Service and Warranty Contract for a five-year full-service agreement that will begin once the Dogger Bank C phase is commissioned in 2026, and all contracts for the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm, due to become the largest offshore wind farm in the world upon completion.

Malta Inc. is teaming up with Duke Energy to study the socioeconomic, environmental and operational benefits of converting retiring coal units into long-duration, zero-emissions energy storage systems by integrating Malta’s 100-megawatt, 10-hour pumped heat energy storage system into existing infrastructure at a Duke Energy coal plant in North Carolina.

A U.S. Department of Energy grant is funding the year-long study of the emerging technology.
Malta is developing a pumped heat energy storage system that leverages well-understood subsystems, components and thermodynamics in a novel energy storage application. By leveraging existing subsystems from well-established industries, the system relies on decades of performance data to ensure safe, resilient operations.
