Zon & wind versus elektriciteitsvraag in april 2024. Bijna elke dag waren er tijdelijk overschotten.
Voor zover die overschotten worden geëxporteerd, tellen ze mee als hernieuwbare energie in NL. Als er wordt afgeschakeld is dat niet het geval.

Elektrische auto’s hebben veel minder vaak pech dan versies met een benzinemotor. ‘Duitse ANWB’ ADAC: 2,8% elektrische auto’s komt aan de kant te staan, tegen 6,8% bij de conventionele auto’s.

Good morning with good news: Kenya both increased the share of its population with access to electricity from 5% in 1995 to 76.5% in 2021 AND decreased fossil fuel generation from 60% in 2000 to less than 10% in 2022!

Kenya uses geothermal, hydro, wind & solar!

BYD sells EVs in the West for *more than double* the price in China!

Why?
Because even then, it's competitive.

Expect very very cheap EVs in the future that ICE cars simply can't compete with.

The age of the ICE is over.

Batteries aren't just for powering smartphones

In 2016, the energy sector accounted for around 50% of global demand for batteries, about the same share as electronic devices

By 2023, energy's share had risen above 90% - in a market 10 times the size → iea.li/3xLOXE7

What do the global record numbers for photovoltaics mean?🧵

BloombergNEF forecasts global photovoltaic installations of around 574 GW for 2024

That is
- 1,57 GW/d
- More than the capacity of all the world's nuclear power plants put together
- Huge coal power plant replacements

✅While electricity can account for even more than 80% (320 TWh) of the final energy consumption of heavy-duty road transport (in HE scenario), modelling results show that it represents at most 4% of the European final electricity consumption, due to high electrification.

Good morning with good news: US will double battery storage in 2024! The US battery storage boom will add 15.5 GWs in 2024. Batteries will jump from 15.4 GW to 30.9 GW in one year!

Battery boom is much bigger than the AI demand 'surge' of ~18 GW by 2030.

Battery shortage myth will die hard!

BNEF 'estimates that lithium-ion battery demand across EVs and stationary storage came in at around 950 gigawatt hours last year. Global battery manufacturing capacity was more than twice that, at close to 2,600 GWh.'
