What the Global North can learn from Egypt’s Hydrogen Success

A recent study from Karadeniz Technical University [40.9°N, 39.5°E] has explored Egypt’s potential to become a global leader in hydrogen production. The research found that, thanks to abundant solar and wind resources, Egypt could produce low-cost hydrogen for both domestic use and export, with production costs as low as €3.68/kg (£3.15/kg) for solar-based hydrogen. What … Continue reading What the Global North can learn from Egypt’s Hydrogen Success

Integrating Renewable Energy Considering Challenges in Seasonal Variability and Power Grid Stability

The global transition to renewable energy sources like wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems presents unique challenges for power grid stability. A recent study published in the International Journal of Renewable Energy Research introduces a novel approach to optimise reactive power planning (VAR planning) — a critical yet often overlooked aspect of grid management. For … Continue reading Integrating Renewable Energy Considering Challenges in Seasonal Variability and Power Grid Stability

The Age of Electricity: What’s Driving the World’s Power Surge?

A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) [48.8°N, 2.3°E] forecasts an unprecedented surge in global electricity demand between 2025 and 2027. With electrification accelerating across industries, transport, and buildings, the world is entering what the IEA calls a new “Age of Electricity.” This rapid transformation raises urgent questions: Can renewables keep pace with … Continue reading The Age of Electricity: What’s Driving the World’s Power Surge?
