Nuclear power plant fits well in electricity market with high share of renewables
| Datum: | 21 april 2022 |
When an electricity market has a high amount of wind turbines and solar PV, as is the ambition in many countries including the Netherlands, it is more efficient to build a nuclear power plant instead of investing further in more renewable capacity. This...
Green hydrogen production more costly than production using natural gas with carbon capturing, also for bio-based routes
| Datum: | 14 april 2022 |
Costs of green hydrogen production, with the current state of technology and expected long-term input prices, are higher than of production from natural gas with carbon capture, also when production from biomass is considered. This last-mentioned option...
Imports of hydrogen produced by electrolysis from Morocco more competitive than local production
| Datum: | 08 april 2022 |
