  • Therefore, better alternatives to “the Iran war” are:

    • The US-Israel war in Iran

    How about “US-Israel war with Iran”, which they already use. But in a headline you want to be short and concise. If you write “the Iran war” today, everyone knows which war you mean and who started it, there’s no need to repeat it in every headline. For the same reason they write about “renewables” instead of “renewable energies such as wind, water, biomass and solar power” and they write about “energy crisis” instead of “oil and oil-product supply crisis”. Because

    How the US-Israel war in Iran oil and oil product supply crisis caused by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran in response to the US-Israeli attacks strengthens the case for renewable energies such as wind, water and biomass which some countries in Europe already produce a lot of

    is not a good headline.



  • At full capacity (10GW), the island is expected to produce around 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen, corresponding to roughly 7% of Europe’s expected hydrogen demand

    10GW = 87.6 TWh / year (even assuming 100% efficiency of the P2G process). That’s 10% of Germanys gas consumption of last year (864TWh). The EU consumes something like 5000TWh per year.

    So while this might be a cool project and a much needed one, it’s not nearly enough to replace our gas imports. We should really stop using gas to heat our homes and use the miniscule amount of green gas we can produce for the processes that really require it.

    In other news: Our (German) government wants to go back to gas heating and combustion engines, hoping to find some e-fuels in the attic.
