A development on the west coast of Saudi Arabia is to become the world’s largest battery storage facility and is part of an initiative to power the entire 28,000km2 coast with renewable energy, 24/7. The development will seemingly include 50 hotels when complete, and will be powered solely by wind and solar energy. The complex will rely on the world’s largest battery storage facility at 1000MWh, which is being supplied by the Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC).

Businesses who fail to act on decarbonisation risk exposing themselves to potential risks from policy-driven increased operating costs, increased energy costs or increased compliance costs. In addition, decarbonisation is not just an objective imposed by policies such as the Paris Agreement: with the right approach, it also creates tangible business opportunities that go beyond long-term financial savings.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

The European Commission proposed a 60-gigawatt offshore wind target for 2030 on Thursday, a highly ambitious goal that would require an additional 48 GW of installed capacity in just under a decade. A longer-term 300 GW by 2050 target will also be established in support of the EU's net-zero carbon by the midcentury goal. The electrification of heat and transport, as well as an aggressive green hydrogen strategy , will require a massive target of this kind.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
