Energy World April 2019
Alongside the transition to renewable sources around the world, particularly for electricity generation, is a perhaps equally powerful movement towards decentralised or locally-produced energy, with far-reaching consequences for the shape of the industry. So says the opening article on our first theme – decentralisation, starting on page 14. We also include articles discussing the prospects for small-scale UK energy projects developed and run by community groups and local authorities.
Most solar power developments fit the decentralised energy category, so the issue includes two further articles: on the need for investors to think bigger so that solar power might reach its enormous long-term potential; and the environment for solar in sun-drenched Spain.
Fossil-based ‘natural’ gas isn’t the only gas – our second theme rounds up the possibilities of using hydrogen, both with fuel cells and as a supplementary source for conventional gas grids; biogases and LNG.
