Biden-Harris Administration announces $750m to support America’s growing hydrogen industry

By NS Energy Staff Writer 14 Mar 2024

These projects will help advance electrolysis technologies and improve manufacturing and recycling capabilities for clean hydrogen systems and components, directly supporting more than 1,500 new jobs

As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $750 million for 52 projects across 24 states to dramatically reduce the cost of clean hydrogen and reinforce America’s global leadership in the growing clean hydrogen industry. These projects—funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—will help advance electrolysis technologies and improve manufacturing and recycling capabilities for clean hydrogen systems and components, directly supporting more than 1,500 new jobs.

Today’s announcement reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government approach to accelerating the deployment of clean hydrogen—as laid out in the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap and coordinated by the Hydrogen Interagency Task Force. The projects are expected to enable U.S. manufacturing capacity to produce 14 gigawatts of fuel cells per year, enough to power 15% of medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold each year, and 10 gigawatts of electrolyzers per year, enough to produce an additional 1.3 million tons of clean hydrogen per year. Advancing zero or near-zero emissions clean hydrogen is a key component of President Biden’s plan to tackle the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs across the nation, and strengthen America’s manufacturing and industrial competitiveness.

Fitch solutions ferait mieux d'aller regarder les chiffres en face :

Depuis 2021, aux US pour la production électrique, la substitution au charbon s'est faite majoritairement par le gaz :

en 2021 : 23% de charbon, 36,5% de gaz, 20% de nuc, 9,5% d'éolien, 6,5% d'hydro, 2,5% de solaire
en 2023 : 17% de charbon (-6%) , 41% de gaz (+5%), 19% de nuc, 10,5% d'éolien, 6% d'hydro, 3,5% de solaire (pour un volume de production équivalent)

L'essor du solaire et de l'éolien ne représente q'une petite fraction de la diminution du charbon, par rapport au gaz.

Globalement on reste aux US avec un mix hypercarboné, qui est à peine passé de 440 à 409 gCO2/kWh sur cette période malgré la diminution de la consommation de charbon.

(en France 45g/kWh par comparaison...)
On restera avec un mix majoritairement carbone encore pendant des decennies et personne n’a le pouvoir de changer ca pour le moment, ni les politiques, ni les electeurs

Pourquoi ces conneries restent dans les discussions?

Parce que ca mobilise du temps de cerveau de blaireaux!

Les Etats-Unis repoussent des mesures clé de réduction des émissions de centrales

AFP le 01 mars 2024

Le gouvernement de Joe Biden a annoncé jeudi repousser à plus tard des mesures devant réduire les émissions de CO2 de centrales à gaz déjà existantes, annoncées l'année dernière mais qu'il dit désormais vouloir renforcer avant qu'elles soient adoptées.

Cette décision risque toutefois de reporter la proposition de nouvelles règlementations plus strictes à après l'élection présidentielle de novembre.

En mai dernier, l'agence de protection de l'environnement (EPA) avait annoncé son plan de réduction d'émissions des centrales, mesures très attendues dans le cadre des engagements climatiques des Etats-Unis.

Celles-ci devaient être finalisées en 2024 après une période de débat public obligatoire, et concernaient les centrales à charbon existantes, ainsi que les centrales à gaz existantes et futures.

Ce plan repose en grande partie sur l'obligation pour certaines centrales de capter leurs émissions de CO2, au lieu de les rejeter dans l'atmosphère.

Des associations climatiques avaient regretté à l'époque que les mesures n'aillent pas plus loin concernant les centrales à gaz, dont seules les plus grosses étaient prises en compte.

L'EPA "travaille vers des normes finales au printemps pour diminuer la pollution des centrales à charbon existantes et des nouvelles centrales à gaz", a déclaré dans un communiqué son chef, Michael Regan.

Mais l'agence "choisit une nouvelle approche plus complète pour couvrir la flotte entière de turbines au gaz naturel, tout en couvrant davantage de polluants", a-t-il ajouté.

"Cette approche plus forte et durable permettra d'aboutir à une plus grande réduction des émissions que la proposition actuelle", a-t-il assuré.

L'annonce de l'EPA "signifie que la route vers des limites fédérales sur le CO2 des centrales à gaz sera plus longue que nous l'avions espéré", a réagi dans un communiqué Charles Harper, de l'association environnementale Evergreen.

Mais "nous sommes heureux que l'EPA s'engage à finir le travail", a-t-il ajouté, en soulignant que l'agence devait désormais adopter les règles finales sur les centrales à charbon "le plus vite possible".

Le sénateur américain démocrate Sheldon Whitehouse s'est lui montré plus critique, qualifiant la décision de l'EPA d'"inexplicable".

"Ce n'est pas en faisant une réglementation qui ne s'applique qu'aux centrales à charbon, qui disparaissent d'elles-mêmes, et aux nouvelles centrales à gaz pas encore construites, qu'on arrivera à la sécurité climatique", a-t-il taclé.

"L'EPA promet qu'une future réglementation s'attaquera à ces émissions à l'avenir, mais le calendrier n'est pas de notre côté", a-t-il ajouté, appelant l'agence à réguler les émissions de toutes les centrales à gaz "d'ici la fin de l'année".

La production d'électricité représente environ un quart des émissions de gaz à effet de serre des Etats-Unis.

Aux États-Unis, près d'un quart de l'électricité est produite à partir d'énergies renouvelables

BFM Business 24fev 2024

Il n'y a pas qu'en Europe que les énergies renouvelables gagnent du terrain dans la production électrique. Outre-Atlantique, elles répondent ainsi à 23% de la demande d'électricité selon le dernier rapport de BloombergNEF.

La part des énergies éoliennes et solaires dans la production d'électricité est en nette progression alors que celle du charbon est tombée sous la barre des 16%. En revanche, la production électrique à partir de gaz naturel a établi un nouveau record supérieur à 1.800 TWh en 2023, soit une part de 43%.

L'année dernière, pas moins de 42 gigawatts de capacité de production d'énergie renouvelable ont été raccordés au réseau électrique américain tandis que 7,5 gigawatts de stockage en batterie y ont été ajoutés.

Un développement notamment permis par une politique volontariste du gouvernement à travers l'Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) et les autres subventions accordées par le département dédié à l'énergie et d'autres organismes. Toujours d'après BNEF, plus de 300 milliards de dollars de financement de la transition énergétique ont été déployés aux Etats-Unis pour les technologies d'énergie propre, les véhicules électriques et les investissements dans les réseaux électriques.

Recul des ventes de voitures électriques et des projets d'éoliennes offshore

Comme l'indique le Wall Street Journal, ces chiffres "sont publiés alors que les inquiétudes concernant les investissements dans la transition énergétique commencent à se faire jour." Le quotidien cite deux exemples à savoir le ralentissement de la croissance des ventes de véhicules électriques au cours des dernières semaines après une progression de 50% sur l'année 2023 d'une part. D'autre part, les interrogations autour des projets d'éoliennes offshore en raison de la hausse des coûts et de la baisse des rendements.

BMI, une unité de recherche de Fitch Solutions, estime par ailleurs que la croissance des énergies renouvelables s'affirme comme la substitution la plus possible au charbon dans la production électrique. En cause, la diminution de la part du gaz naturel au niveau mondial à laquelle a fait écho une récente polémique sur le gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) aux Etats-Unis. Le mois dernier, Joe Biden a suspendu les autorisations d'exportations de GNL vers l'Euope et l'Asie, justifiant cette suspension par des inquiétudes concernant les conséquences environnementales de l'activité gazière.

Sandow Lakes Energy has revealed plans to build a 1.2GW ultra-efficient, natural gas-fuelled power plant in the Texas Triangle, US.

To be developed and owned by a subsidiary of Sandow Lakes Energy, the facility will be constructed on Sandow Lakes property in Lee County, Texas. It will be operated within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

Sandow Lakes Energy expects to commence the construction of the natural gas-fuelled power plant in 2025, with commissioning targeted for 2028.

The American clean gas-fired generation plant is projected to provide electricity to more than 800,000 households.

Previously, the Sandow Lakes property housed a 1950s-era integrated industrial enterprise with a coal-based power generation capacity of 1.2GW.

The legacy coal and industrial plants at the site are undergoing partial demolition and repurposing to make room for the new combined cycle power plant.

Sandow Lakes Energy has also revealed signing an agreement with Siemens Energy to secure manufacturing slots for two SGT6-9000HL gas turbines.

The turbines are expected to produce electricity at the Sandow Lakes site, delivering reliable power generation to the region apart from supporting decarbonisation goals.

According to Sandow Lakes Energy, the SGT6-9000HL turbines feature high power output, exceptional fuel efficiency, and the ability to operate on hydrogen after making only small modifications to the equipment.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said: “As Texas continues to grow, increasing the capacity and reliability of our power grid is critical. This Sandow Lakes plant will provide 1,200 megawatts of dispatchable power, providing enough electricity for hundreds of thousands of homes.

“As Governor, I signed bipartisan laws to reform ERCOT and increase the reliability, resilience, and capability of our state grid. Through partnerships with companies like Sandow Lakes and Siemens, our state will ensure we continue to deliver reliable power to every Texas home.”

US battery storage capacity is expected to nearly double in 2024

Michelle Lewis | Jan 9 2024

Developers plan to expand US battery storage capacity to more than 30 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Planned and currently operational US utility-scale battery capacity totaled around 16 GW at the end of 2023. Developers are expected to add another 15 GW of battery storage in 2024, and around 9 GW in 2025.

US battery storage capacity has been growing since 2021 and is anticipated to increase by 89% by the end of this year if all planned energy storage systems are brought online.

California and Texas currently account for the majority of battery capacity additions. Utilities are now mandated to install energy storage in California, and Texas has faster grid connection and permitting, which incentivizes developers.

California has the most installed battery storage capacity of any state by far, with 7.3 GW, followed by Texas with 3.2 GW. Both states have seen enormous solar and wind growth, which in turn spurs battery storage growth. The batteries store excess clean power in periods of low electricity demand, and release power when electricity demand is high.

The other 48 states have a total of around of 3.5 GW of installed battery storage capacity.

The Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act investment tax credits have played a huge part in spurring battery storage growth in the US. Developers expect to bring more than 300 utility-scale battery storage projects online in the US by 2025, and around half of the planned capacity installations will be in Texas.

Strata breaks ground on 1GWh Scatter Wash energy storage project

By NS Energy Staff Writer 19 Jan 2024

The Scatter Wash battery storage project is expected to provide customers with reliable energy, support increased power demand, store renewable energy from solar power plants on its grid, and provide green electricity when it is needed

US-based renewable energy solutions provider Strata Clean Energy has started construction on its 255MW/1,020MWh Scatter Wash battery storage complex in Phoenix, Arizona, US.

The Scatter Wash project is expected to provide customers with reliable energy, support increased power demand, and store renewable energy from solar power plants on its grid.

Also, the battery storage facility will provide electricity when it is needed, particularly in the summers when extreme heat and electricity demand are high in Arizona.

The Scatter Wash project, which can store adequate electricity to power more than 250,000 homes for 4 hours daily for 20 years, is expected to become operational in April 2025.

Strata Clean Energy president Josh Rogol said: “This groundbreaking demonstrates a considerable advancement in large-scale sustainable energy solutions in a major growing metropolitan area, underscoring Strata’s dedication to addressing critical grid challenges.

“In showcasing our dedication to utility clients like APS and Arizona homes and businesses, we continue shaping the future of energy storage by ensuring grid reliability and driving progress towards broader decarbonization and economic development goals through local jobs and investment. It exemplifies our dedication to a more sustainable future.”

Last year, the US renewable energy company signed a 20-year tolling agreement with Arizona Public Service (APS) for its Scatter Wash battery storage facility.

The agreement is a result of the All-Source RFP APS, conducted in May 2022, to meet the growing needs of residential and business customers with affordable and clean electricity.

Under the terms of the tolling agreement, Strata will build, own, and operate the Scatter Wash battery storage complex as part of its portfolio of clean-energy assets.

In April last year, Strata selected US-based engineering services provider Mortenson as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner for the project.

The project will feature Tesla’s Megapack 2XL, a fully integrated battery system featuring advanced battery technology, software, and power conversion systems.

Strata said that the development of the Scatter Wash project is supported by the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for standalone energy storage created by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

APS operations executive vice president Jacob Tetlow said: “Arizona is one of the fastest growing states in the country and reliable and affordable power is critical for APS customers, especially during our hottest summer days. These batteries will help us continue to serve our customers with a balanced and diverse power supply.”

Energie: l'américain Chesapeake rachète Southwestern pour 7,4 milliards de dollars

AFP le 11 janv. 2024

Le producteur d'énergie américain Chesapeake Energy va racheter une autre entreprise américaine, Southwestern Energy, pour 7,4 milliards de dollars, ont annoncé les deux compagnies dans un communiqué commun jeudi.

Avec cette opération, qui devrait être finalisée au deuxième trimestre 2024, elles entendent créer un leader dans le gaz naturel "pour fournir une énergie abordable et à faible émission carbone afin de répondre aux besoins croissants", indiquent les entreprises, qui vont fusionner sous un nouveau nom.

Selon les termes de l'accord, les actionnaires de Southwestern recevront 0,0867 action ordinaire Chesapeake pour chaque action Southwestern en circulation.

Au cours de clôture à la Bourse de New York lundi, l'opération valoriserait à environ 24 milliards de dollars la nouvelle entité. A l'issue de la fusion, les actionnaires de Chesapeake en possèderont environ 60%, 40% étant détenus par les actionnaires de Southwestern.

"Ensemble, Southwestern et Chesapeake peuvent générer des marges et des rendements améliorés grâce à nos portefeuilles complémentaires (...) pour approvisionner la demande mondiale croissante de gaz naturel", a commenté le président de Southwestern, Bill Way, cité dans le communiqué.

Le comité directeur de la nouvelle compagnie comprendra 11 membres: sept représentants de Chesapeake et quatre de Southwestern.

Le secteur de l'énergie, irrigué par les importants bénéfices enregistrés en 2022, voit se multiplier les opérations ces derniers mois aux Etats-Unis.

En octobre, le groupe pétrolier américain ExxonMobil avait notamment annoncé qu'il allait racheter Pioneer Natural Resources, également américain, pour environ 60 milliards de dollars. En décembre, la compagnie pétrolière américaine Occidental Petroleum a racheté CrownRock, un autre producteur de gaz et de pétrole des Etats-Unis, pour quelque 12 milliards de dollars.

Dans les échanges électroniques avant l'ouverture de la Bourse de New York, le titre de Chesapeake gagnait 3,2% à 79,65 dollars, celui de Southwestern reculant de 1,6% à 6,78 dollars.

L'état du Michigan veut 100% d'électricité décarbonée en 2040 :
Michigan Governor to Sign Clean Energy Future Plan into Law; State Will Operate on 100-Percent Clean Energy by 2040

November 11, 2023 evwind

An ambitious package of renewable energy bills that just passed the Michigan Legislature—now on its way to be signed into law by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer—is drawing strong praise from business-friendly clean energy-focused organizations throughout the state and across the nation.

Dubbed the Clean Energy Future Plan, the new legislation will require Michigan utilities to acquire 15 percent of electricity from renewable energy sources—such as wind or solar—through 2029 and then increase the amount of electricity from renewables to 50 percent by 2030, 60 percent by 2035, and 100 percent by 2040. The new plan sees Michigan join 11 other states with commitments to reach 100 percent clean energy net-zero future on a similar schedule.

Additionally, Michigan’s new clean energy laws grant authority to the Michigan Public Service Commission to approve large solar, wind, and battery storage projects and make it easier to deploy clean energy in the state.

“This is a major step forward for Michigan, and we want to recognize Governor Whitmer and the Michigan Legislature for their leadership on these critical energy issues. This new legislation works to secure Michigan’s clean energy future but also to make certain the state is positioned to benefit from the valuable new jobs, tax revenue, and ongoing investment that renewable energy brings,” said Erika Kowall, Director, Midwest State Affairs, American Clean Power Association (ACP.) “Michigan is already fifth in the nation for clean energy jobs—currently numbering 124,000—and the Clean Energy Future Plan puts the state in position to see many years of new opportunities and growth resulting from clean energy. ACP looks forward to continuing to work with Michigan leaders to help unleash the state’s full clean energy potential.”
