Somehow i am feeling Aljazeera is quite concerned that Europe is actually moving away from oil & gas. Hope its parent in Qatar is not that concerned :)
New German solar cell converts almost a third of sun's radiation into electricity, namely 32.5%. It is rumored that that technology will be on the market by the end of this year because of how cheap the mass production is in comparison to similar solar cells.
No it won't work. Germany spent half a trillion Euros on Solar and it only make up about 5% of electrical grid. Germany simply doesn't have enough sun.
Latest technology I've heard is a multi-layer solar cell with each layer more responsive to a different frequency of solar radiation which is how it can achieve much higher levels of efficiency that traditional designs.
Yeah, and Germany has so "many days" with bright, strong sun. Have you ever been to Germany? That place looks like Russia in winter...long long winter.
The host journalist was asking good questions, the skeptical reporter didn’t say much, the conflict of interest Environmental company guy wasn’t worth listening to and the super bureaucrat “renewable electron” lady was a crackup. You need to get civil, mechanical and power engineers together to contribute to the discussion as well as a truly independent energy economist to be included in the discussion. Offshore floating wind will be the most expensive, most impractical energy ever produced by mankind. (If they ever get it off the ground). No amount of policy will ever overcome that. At least they still have natural gas infrastructure in place as well as coal. Europe will be energy partners with Russia before the ink is dry on any settlement agreement in the Ukraine.
Reality is that, without Russian cheap energy, cost of production is soaring in Europe to the point that some of European industries will have to close down and some will have to open production hubs in countries like china and India. That is the long-term reality facing Europe.
1st of all What made you think russian gas was cheap? 2nd There's not much left to be outsourced to 3rd world countries. Europe productions has been finished for a long time
@@ГеоргиКолев-ш3я , you don seem to have facts in your comment. It seems you are more emotional than realistic. Dispute my realistic analysis with facts, will you🙏🏾
Cost of production is falling. Energy prices are currently even lower in comparision to the start of the war in Ukraine 2022 (gas prices as well). The share of the industry sector on the GDP is still significantly higher in Europe than in the US. Even if the share decreass a little bit, nothing will change in this regard. It’s always weird if you read comments like that but it doesn’t even matches the data slightly…
No one talks about the grid. Electricity is complex and you have to energy storage. Of course gas Company can be saved by this. Part the energy storage when it if wind don't blow is gas. 😅
130 Gw to 2030 !!!! Is that even possible ???? I answer myself and say not possibel. För 130 GW windmills it takes about 214 each year to complete. One EACH day (Counting downtime due to bad weather). 100 Windmills are 1 Gw
Oil and gas are much more expensive than renewables. Solar is the cheapest scalable form of power production already even without considering the carbon costs. Oil and gas cost more than they could ever be worth, as they shift the cost of consumption to the younger and poorer. You are spreading caustic (strategic?) misinformation.
This video limited its discussion to geopolitical beauracracies and didn't touch anything actually related to implementation. IMO the EU could benefit if all its members met with the purpose of how best to implement a future of renewable energy instead of the piecemeal fashion things have been happening until now. I understand that Denmark has been particularly successful already building offshore wind farms and is already net positive generating more than the country's needs. Germany has been trying to build as much as it can but is falling short but more importantly like most of Europe supposedly has a decrepit grid with no real plan to resolve that problem any time soon. If Germany even had a halfway decent grid, it could even be importing some of that excess electricity from Denmark. This video suggests that areas off Scotland are being considered for future wind farms but I suspect that might be primarily the parochial interests of the people in this video's panel. Europe should work cooperatively to grade every possibility for renewable energy generation of all types, then decide where and when and what should be built in 3-5 year increments accounting for the usual 3 year payback and whatever regulatory or licensing delays that might be involved. Connecting all of Europe with a highly redundant and smart grid should be the highest priority in every country if all of Europe will be consumers of energy generated in only certain areas. And, options should not be limited to the borders of the EU. I've heard proposals which might be considered wild ideas producing energy in North Africa and then either transmitting the electricity to Europe or creating green hydrogen that can then be transported by container elsewhere in the world. To finance this, I would expect the European Central Bank to be at the center of most financing, but individual countries with means might be motivated to follow the example of the Danes and forge ahead on their own if they see an opportunity to fast track claiming territory to build green energy power plants.
What u need to add is that it does r need to go to north africa, it can stay within the eu, it's called southern europe. The iberian peninsula has more than sun, wind and tides. The problem lies with being a bunch of countries and the fear of the northern countries that having energy investments in the south would make companies go to the south cause it also has lower salaries and all that jazz big companies love. This makes them not agree or to look into north africa, cause they don't fear big european companies to move there. It's stupid, internal members competition is just what's stoping member-states to fully cooperate.
The guests are right. Energy security is the main motivator for increase in renewables in Europe. Once the cheap oil and gas starts flowing from other countries, that's it Europeans will forget about energy security.
There is no cheaper oil and gas from other countries. That why Germany has to use Coal. Germany is using America Natural Gas, because over night they made 6 massive conversion facilities to covert LNG which stunned the Russians.
It's not that black and white cause european companies will pressure to make and keep legislation that favours then, and european companies have invested big time in renewables and they'll want their investment profits.
@@puraLusa This isn't about money or profits Rita. Germany is dying, without cheap Russian gas and German Millennials things can go really bad. That why Japan made their move in 1985, they saw all this coming the wars, Russia and China pulling out of Globalization. Germany was caught totally unprepared. France is going have to help them otherwise the Germans will get violent again.

If North Sea wind energy is so effective and efficient and financially competitive why are governments funds required, should not the markets fund and develop it. Let renewable develop organically with market funding not government funding and regulatory short cuts.
@@Joey-ct8bm Why mandatory, let them invest according to the ones that bring the highest return. On the regulatory side polluters weather renewable or not should pay equal fine for equal pollution.
@@radiaapache3779 Highest return!!! Lowest return!!! We pay that. Governments need to step in. We need to crackdown on every oil producer in the world. I'm paying triple what i used to pay. Put that money into green energy.
@@radiaapache3779 It's not for emissions for me. It's that they make absolute bank and doing basically nothing. We need to be realistic here. We would need 200% effort from every country in the world to make it. Never gonna happen. This makes sure we get there ASAP though. To tackle the pollution you need to cut meat production and greenhouse gas all over the world. Not green energy. Maybe 5 countries in the world are even doing or trying that. Farmers are also making maximum chaos. In my country the Netherlands they been trying to do it for over 5 years. The government even lost a case in supreme court. They are court ordered to bring emissions down. Nothing happened really. The rest of the world i hear nothing about a crackdown on farmers. Energy would definitely help farmers to make greener food, but there's no way to do it in time at all. You just can't get raw materials fast enough and you would need full support of China. Even then you won't make it. A country that now gets the cheapest gas and oil in the world. They ain't gonna help us. Certainly not when you give them fines.
They just signed a gas deal with Azerbaijan, a client state of Russia. So, the answer is "NO", they can't. Unless they want to turn themselves back to the middle ages.
Actually politically speaking is conected to turkiye and also culturally. Also, the gasline that crosses georgia is what made georgia a russian target. Cause russia didn't want azeebaijan to compete, russia foreign politics is to monopolize gas biz. It's not going great for russia, it's loosing market.
Thinking that renewable matters at all is a mistake. Our energy goals should be security, affordability, and environmental protection without regard to being called RE or not. Sometimes, methods labeled as RE are the best option. Often, this is not the case. Unfortunately, many, including governments, have made the goal RE instead of energy security, affordability, and environmental protection. Its clear for a lot of reasons that dilute intermittents are unsuitable to do the heavy lifting if these are our goals.
It is the usual Green nonsense. A competent Dutch engineer has calculated that if the Netherlands covered the whole of its land and sea area with wind and solar units it could not meet todays energy needs never mind those required if the use of gas and fossil fuels is stopped due to intermittency and loss of wind down wind of the first units in a wind array system quite apart from losses during conversion to the high voltage required for transmission and the instability of a total renewables grid. But then renewable energy has little to do with the environment and more to do with political control of the population as promoted by the WEF.
The future is going to be regions. North America, Europe as another superpower. The Middle East and the OIC, and of course Asia will be another region that is a super power. Hope we get electric powered ships by then. Domestic rocket travel?
Gas ovens will be obsolete.wind wave,solar nuclear energy.i also waste plants can make gas.need to fined a way of making coal burning cleaner for energy.
Thanks Russia ... you're helping solve the climate crisis.
Everyone depend on renewable energy instead source of gas...
Somehow i am feeling Aljazeera is quite concerned that Europe is actually moving away from oil & gas. Hope its parent in Qatar is not that concerned :)
Ok ok
Not only Europe, the whole world is becoming energy independency very soon not only from Russia but also from USA.
No more pleasing oil states like Saudi Arabia. A perfect world!

I stopped at a Russian gasstation in Europe this week. it's been abandoned for months.
Apparently as of 2021 there are only 200million households in the EU compared to the 300million they hope to serve.
Pfft! No! Not unless you consider coal, nuclear or non-russian gas renewable.
Yes! but renewables AND NUCLEAR !!
Please no attack on renewables and civlians ok
Let's rapidly expand and transition our entire global economy to renewably powered electricity to power everythjng everywhere 🌎.
