  • State of the Industry: Offshore Wind - Part 2
    Walt Musial, a principal engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, stops by the show to discuss the current state of the US offshore wind market. Walt details progress in key regions like the Northeast, where gigawatt-scale projects are actively under construction. Walt addresses the ramifications of renegotiations of power purchase agreements and the mixed outcome of recent offshore wind lease auctions. On the technology front, Walt goes into great detail about the potential of floating wind technology, which offers flexible siting and cost benefits when compared to fixed-bottom turbines. Walt also outlines the key highlights of NREL's annual Offshore Wind Energy Market Assessment, which track information for 2,036 active offshore wind energy projects in 49 countries.Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod

  • State of the Industry: Offshore Wind - Part 1
    Sponsored by EDF RenewablesLearn more about Atlantic Shores Offshore WindThe offshore wind industry has been navigating some choppy seas as of late, so Oliver Metcalfe, Head of Wind Research at BloombergNEF, stops by the show to outline what the industry must do to chart a course for sustained growth. Oliver recently returned from an industry conference in China, so he shares his expert insights on that market -- including how Chinese turbine companies are starting to boost their export efforts. When it comes to policy, Oliver details how the early steps in the UK market that put offshore wind on a path for success could be copied in other developing markets. And finally, we turn our attention to the US, where tough economic conditions are beginning to recede, but much work lies ahead for the offshore wind industry to reach its full potential.Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod

  • How Renewables Are Powering Heavy Industry and Data Centers
    Wade Gungoll, CEO of Industrial Sun, and Christine Larson, the Head of Strategy and Operations at Modern Energy, stop by the show to discuss the role of renewables in heavy industries like chemical processing, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Petrochemical refineries might not be first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the facilities that powered by renewables, but it’s happening -- and Wade and Christine are here to tell us more about it.They highlight the unique approach of Industrial Sun, which focuses on industrial net-metered solar for heavy industries, offering significant cost savings and green attributes. They discuss the challenges and opportunities in the data center market and outline why Big Tech's race for computing power means renewables might actually have to wait to capture a larger share of the market. Christine predicts a rise in battery storage, while Wade predicts more than $100 billion in green hydrogen investment in ERCOT by 2030.Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod

  • Geothermal Energy Digs Deep to Meet Surging Power Demand
    Jason Peart, GM of Strategy and Development at Sage Geosystems, joins the show to outline the many ways geothermal energy is advancing to provide diverse solutions for the world's booming growth in power demand. Jason walks us through some need-to-know information about the latest trends and technologies related to geothermal energy, including how progress is being made on using geothermal for energy storage. Jason also shares details about a partnership Sage recently formed with Meta to power data centers, as well as the work Sage is doing with the US Air Force, the US Army and California Resources Corporation.Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod

  • The Big Picture on Batteries - with Roger Miksad from Battery Council International
    Sponsored by KPMGWith Climate Week in full swing, tons of speeches, meetings and presentations are taking place in New York, with an eye toward how the energy transition will continue to evolve. One key technology that will continue to play a huge role in that evolution is batteries. Roger Miksad, the president and executive director of Battery Council International, stops by the show to explain how batteries of various chemistries are advancing to power things like data centers, EVs and microgrids. Roger also touches on a few policies that the battery sector is watching closely, like the USA Batteries Act. And with more and more batteries coming to the market, Roger outlines the hard work BCI and its members have put in over the years to advance recycling and develop a circular economy for raw materials and components.More resources from KPMGKPMG generative AI survey report: Energy, natural resources and chemicalsKPMG LLP AI & Digital Innovation Quarter Pulse Survey - Q2 2024Key highlightsThe importance of Climate Week - (2:57)What Roger hopes to see from this year's Climate Week - (3:59)The expanding role of batteries in the energy landscape - (4:30)Specific areas batteries are powering the energy transition - (6:04)The impact the Inflation Reduction Act is having on battery manufacturing - (7:53)Other policies that are crucial for the battery industry - (10:31)The role batteries play in powering data centers - (14:41)Advancements in battery recycling and the circular economy - (16:42)Roger's bold predictions - (19:58)Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod
