Lowest cost, long duration solar + storage to deliver the economics of pumped hydro with the flexibility of batteries.

RayGen secures @ARENA_aus funding for dispatchable solar project in Victoria with @aglenergy and @GHD_Engineering.

#Cleantech made in Australia and delivered in NW Victoria at a fraction of the cost of #batterystorage.

New @IEA estimates show that global energy-related CO₂ emissions flattened in 2019:
* Emissions in advanced economies fell by -3.2% (-400Mt)
* Emissions outside advanced economies grew ~1.9% (400 Mt)

@mcannonbrookes @simonahac @KetanJ0 @dylanjmcconnell @eytanlenko We've assumed Aus. consumes 1,200TWh p.a. if all processes are electrified (1,600TWh pre-electrification) then allocated 2ha/MW.

@mcannonbrookes @simonahac @KetanJ0 @dylanjmcconnell @eytanlenko Our back of the envelope - Meeting Australian primary energy needs with 100% clean energy would require a 90km x 90km square, or ~0.1% of our land area (vs. >50% dedicated to grazing agriculture).
Meeting the world’s energy needs with clean energy requires the land area of NSW.

Our 7th #productivity tips & tricks come from Will Mosley at @RaygenResources — "I think people under-rate the well-executed cold call. When all else has failed, we have had success cold-calling key corporate and investor relationships with a short, targeted pitch" #IBtips2020

A recent study of climate models concludes that predictions of #GlobalWarming have been accurate since the 1970s. An important report that should help inform #energy policy and action in the 2020s. #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT]

A study co-authored by MIT researchers examining the accuracy of climate models over the past five decades finds that even “crude early models were fairly accurate, which is remarkable given the sophistication of the science...“ via @voxdotcom https://t.co/6fOfKQUeer

In 1976, film classic All the President’s Men told us to “follow the money”. In 2019, the money from Oil & Gas Majors is pointing towards #renewableenergy. Yesterday, @Shell announced another significant investment into #renewables in Australia. #cleanenergy

"We need a rapid and deep change in the way we do business, how we generate power, how we build cities, how we move, and how we feed the world. If we don’t urgently change our way of life, we jeopardise life itself."

What kind of #electricitystorage will deliver 18hrs cost effectively? Insightful research from @DIW_Berlin staff show that reaching a 90% renewable grid will require an average of 18 hours storage. https://t.co/EaLyr6bG2d #energystorage #EnergyTransition #renewables

RayGen has been shortlisted as part of @energynsw's Emerging Energy Program for its #energystorage project. The program is one of the many initiatives outlined in #NSW government’s recently released Electricity Strategy @Matt_KeanMP #RenewableEnergy #innovation

[Energy NSW @energynsw]

Feasibility grants worth $7.1m have been announced as part of the next stage of the NSW Emerging Energy Program. Shortlisted capital projects include the Maoneng battery project at @SunraysiaSolar, which could provide at least 50MW of power on demand. https://t.co/fFBHYo8XOH

Interested to see that Hornsdale #TeslaBattery expansion ($1100/kWh) appears to be 57% more expensive than the original project ($700/kWh).

Does this gel with general experience of the battery market?

SA Energy Minister on @RNBreakfast: #TeslaBattery upgrade is about electricity quality “staying at 240V & 50Hz”, “not so much about supporting us when we have a supply deficit”. #DanVHP @marshall_steven if you want time-shifting #energystorage check out #AustralianMade #RayGen.

Latest move to increase capacity of #Tesla's big battery shows the value of #energystorage in #Australia.

#AEMO’s Q3 Quarterly Energy Dynamics shows rising costs for Victorian electricity caps driven by an outage at #LoyYangA this summer. We need investment in #transmission & #energystorage today to avoid volatile prices as 2/3 of Australia’s coal plants reach end of life by 2040.

Thanks @innovationbay and @ARENA_aus for the opportunity to pitch at the Renewable Energy Founder Dinner in Sydney! Great to meet so many people committed to cleantech innovation.
