    Norway is building the world’s largest wind farm – to power oil and gas fields

    The world’s largest floating offshore wind farm seems like a great step forward in the world’s effort to ween itself off fossil fuels. Using that wind farm to extract more oil and gas seems counterintuitive.

    Uncovered: Altech Batteries (ASX: ATC)

    Energy storage is one of the biggest challenges of our transition to a net zero electricity grid. These days, there are plenty of options to generate electricity - solar, wind, hydro - but far fewer options to store electricity.  

    Storage is important because it can change renewable energy from volatile (generate a lot of electricity, cheaply when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing and then nothing at other times) to reliable. Right now, the world can’t move away from coal or gas as providers of baseload power - the always on, always reliable power source - because of the volatility of renewables.

  • Mike Cannon-Brookes, AGL, and the future of coal

    Mike Cannon-Brookes, AGL, and the future of coal

    AGL is Australia’s oldest and largest electricity generator. It is also Australia’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide. The company plans to shut its last coal fired generator in 2045. And has been resisting calls for it to accelerate plans to shut down its coal fired power plants. Which has put it in conflict with Mike Cannon-Brookes, who has been using his considerable wealth to try and accelerate Australia’s transition to a zero emission energy grid. This week this conflict came to a head and ended with AGL’s CEO and Chair of the Board resigning. In today's episode of The Dive, Alec and Darcy discuss what happened with Mike Cannon-Brookes and AGL . And explain what this story means for the future of Australia’s electricity grid?

    Wind power's 'colossal market failure' threatens climate fight

    Many of the expert investors we have spoken to have discussed the opportunities in the wind power supply chain. Unlike the solar panel industry, which is fragmented across many players, wind power turbines are only built by a few big players - Vestas being the market leader and one we often hear discussed. This article outlines some of the problems being faced by Vestas and their big competitors. Higher input costs, supply chain bottlenecks, changes in key clean-power subsidies and pressure on turbine prices is challenging profitability across the whole industry. This is slowing down the rate of production, just as the world needs it to ramp up.

    Investing in renewable energy | ASX Game

    We're excited because we're checking back in on the ASX Sharemarket game this week! A reminder, participants in the game get to invest $50,000 in virtual cash in the S&P/ASX200, a range of ETFs and a selection of small and mid-cap companies... we first invested on 3 March and we love how the game lets us get a good taste for how the market moves, how your investments are tracking, without having to invest any of your own money. This week we take a little review of how we're going (spoiler - not great) and then throw around some ideas of some themes we're interested in adding to the portfolio - Hydrogen and Lithium.

    The biggest opportunity since the internet

    You could be forgiven for believing that your outrage has fallen on deaf ears, especially in Australia.  However, the overwhelming worldwide demand for ESG and socially responsible initiatives from customers, employees and shareholders has influenced most corporations in changing their behaviour - virtually every company we meet is talking about their sustainability goals.
