    3. Coal use is going up in Europe vs. the USA, renewable energy replaces nuclear and gas, not coal

      Explore greenm3.com Construction , Emissions , Fossil Fuel

      The Economist has an article on the use of Coal in Europe and how the renewable energy deployed is not replacing coal. WHILE coal production and use plummet in America, in Europe “we have some kind of golden age of coal,” says Anne-Sophie Corbeau of the International Energy Agency. The amount of electricity generated from coal is rising at annualised rates of as much as 50% in some European countries. Since coal is by the far the most polluting source of electricity, with more greenhouse gas produced per kilowatt hour than any other fossil fuel, this is making a mockery of European environmental aspirations. How did it happen? The article closes with a summary of the situation. If policies work as intended, electricity from renewables will gradually take a larger share of overall generation, and Europe will end up with a much greener form of energy. But at the moment ...

      The Consumerization of Energy

      Last year I wrote an article on the consumerization of energy in which I predicted that “Distributed energy technologies… will soon be able to provide electricity at costs and reliability levels that are competitive with grid power. For the first time in 100 years these technologies will enable consumers to bypass their local electric utility compa

      How cheap gas, weather & fuel cells are driving the consumerization of energy

      Familiar with that trend the consumerization of IT, where work IT tools are increasingly distributed and controlled by employees? Well, a similar thing is happening with the decentralization of energy, and in 2012 it was driven by cheap gas, fuel cells and extreme weather.

      Recently, the US energy policy has seen a movement away from the idea of green energy towards a more grounded idea of producing shale oil and shale gas. This is with the view to cut costs of production and bring back manufacturing into USA. Britain is also showing similar policies – all of which is important for the data center industry since it is hugely dependent on energy policy decisions.

      Apple powers ahead with fuel cells and solar panels at data centre

      Apple is making progress on its plans to run its new data centre in North Carolina on renewables. The computer giant is currently installing 5 MW of fuel cells and 20 MW of solar photovoltaics panels on the Maiden site. But according to reports, the company is doubling the capacity of the fuel cell installation at the data centre from 5 MW to 10 MW. The installation of fifty Bloom Energy fuel cells will be the largest non-utility installation in the US, overtaking eBay’s data centre. Taken toget

      Washington insiders at both ends of the political spectrum have begun talking about a carbon tax. The document "A Progressive Carbon Tax Will Fight Climate Change and Stimulate the Economy" by Richard Caperton of the Democrat-aligned Center for American Progress (CAP) is a little surprising because the assumption since 2009 has been that some version of a market-based cap-and-trade program was the only politically viable way to put a price on carbon emissions.
