Renewable Energy, Energy Security and the Strait of Hormuz: Lessons From a Systemic Shock
The Strait of Hormuz disruption exposed a structural flaw in global energy. Paul Raftery explains how renewables, storage and microgrids are the credible answer.
Rare Earths: The Strategic Backbone of the Global Energy Transition
Rare earths have become strategic assets at the centre of energy transition and defence. Paul Raftery outlines where supply chain opportunities are emerging globally.
The Best Path to a Hydrogen-Powered Future
Moving to new energy requires government leadership, education on hydrogen use & community support. Politicians must commit to an energy mix and debt strategy.
Does “A Future Made in Gas” Mean a New Energy Policy
The shift to renewable energy is complex and politically charged, with government policies affecting investment and business in a net-zero future. Policymakers must balance voter demands with economic factors.
Global or local energy: One size does not fit all
Renewable energy investments need a tailored approach due to varying feasibility and efficiency factors. Maximizing potential requires considering each region’s unique traits, not a one-size-fits-all method. This calls for a pragmatic, context-specific approach to decarbonization, beyond global best practices or government intervention.
The Power Solution for Beyond the Next Decade
As we move towards the electrification of most aspects of our lives, advanced countries are striving to meet this demand. However, the reality is that few people consider the source of the electricity required. Also, there are hidden costs that need to be discussed. In practice, we need a transition solution. Which one is it, and do you think it can be done in a cost-effective and sustainable manner?
Can Germany and Australia Overcome the Tyranny of Distance for Hydrogen?
Australia and Germany could jointly develop renewable energy tech, setting a cost-effective and sustainable benchmark. Political backing is key to overcoming high transport, conversion, and regasification costs.
