What a milestone for MeyGen and the tidal industry!!! Following the successful deployment of turbine 4, the world-leading MeyGen site now has all four turbines fully operational. The site is at full power for the first time, delivering 6MW of predictable, renewable power.🌊👏👏
It is with a heavy heart that I am posting this as my picture of the week but the truth is thaty Northvolt has not been able to scale up #lithiumion battery production which is not good for its investors, its customers and other stakeholders and more importantly the European #autmobile industry and the competitive positioning of European in a future where #batteries are a critical technology going forward.
Bottom line, we in Europe have lost the ability to scale up hardware production plants due to a whole host of reasons from bureaucracy to hubris to lack of knowhow…And it does not bode well for cross border and cross business cooperation which is critical for Europe’s future.
There needs to be real open dialogue about what went wrong and then we need to learn and try again.

Few people know this: half of the world's energy use is for heat used in buildings and industry.
And almost all of it is from burning fossil fuels.
That's why we need to decarbonise heat if we want to stand a chance of meeting our climate targets.
“If #Northvolt cannot be revived, Europe will cede what little gains it had made against China in building up its battery value chain.
“Europe needs battery capacity,” says Simon Moores, chief executive of @benchmarkmin .
“The pendulum of industrial battery power has just swung east towards China.”

1/ New study from @UniLUT @rasul385 https://t.co/yPprY8MR3u dives into the techno-economic potential of wave power worldwide. By 2050, we could tap into 29,000 TWh of wave electricity for <50 €/MWh within EEZs #WavePower
