The UK now has an active market for grid inertia, marking a significant step toward ensuring stability in an electricity grid increasingly reliant on intermittent renewable energy sources. The first successful bidder to provide this inertia service was a notably straightforward yet effective technology: an electric motor spinning a massive … [continued]

A commonly cited argument is that surplus electricity from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind, makes hydrogen production both economical and practical. The rationale seems simple: when the sun shines brightly or winds blow strongly, there’s an abundance of electricity, potentially making hydrogen cheap. But this claim oversimplifies the economic … [continued]

Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean and efficient energy carrier, but its real-world efficiency is frequently overstated. Proponents of hydrogen fuel cells highlight their conversion efficiencies of 50–60%, comparing them favorably to internal combustion engines (ICEs). However, this selective framing ignores the full energy pathway, from hydrogen production to … [continued]
