New IEA Report Issues Strategic Recommendations for Clean Energy Scale-Up
How can the world finance a massive scale up of clean energy technologies? That is the topic of the Clean Energy Group's latest report, "Strategies to Finance Large-Scale Deployment of Renewable Energy Projects: An Economic Development and Infrastructure Approach." The report, commissioned by the International Energy Agency (IEA), treats...[read more]
Policy Key to Weather Cleantech Crisis
Absent timely action by federal policymakers, the coming mass-expiration of federal clean energy policies and investments virtually guarantees that the boom-times of recent years will give way to an industry bust. In the perilous and challenging journey from basic research to full commercial deployment of nascent energy technologies, several pervasive market barriers require limited but direct public policies to accelerate advanced energy innovation and commercialization. Faced with the collapse of current federal clean energy policies, however imperfect they currently are, private investors will be left largely incapable of picking up the slack on their own.[read more]

“Hydrogen can also be made from fossil fuels. In fact, we are now just starting a research project on a Chemical Looping Reforming reactor with embedded membranes which could lead to affordable hydrogen production with inherent CO2 separation. Chemical Looping Reforming is based on the somewhat more mature Chemical Looping Combustion which economic studies have found capable of producing ...”
“Sally Jewell's comment that these discoveries "will help private, nonprofit and government decision makers at all levels make informed decisions about the responsible development of these resources" assumes responsible development of any new fossil fuel sources is a given.That assumption grows more dubious by the day. ”
