| Ørsted Signs PPAs With Johnson & Johnson  Johnson & Johnson has signed two PPAs with Ørsted to offtake power from Sparta Solar in Texas in the U.S. and Kilgarvan Wind Farm in County Kerry and Booltiagh Wind Farm 1 in County Clare, which are based in southern and western Ireland, respectively. | Biogas | Funding Helps UK Distilleries Fuel a Greener Future  Hydrogen and biogas will power whisky and spirit producers across the country following a cash boost of more than £11 million from the UK government, driving forward plans to create low-carbon green distilleries. The multi-million-pound investment will help distilleries across the UK ditch fossil fuels and develop low carbon heating systems that will make production processes greener and more energy efficient. | Pentair and McCulla Initiated McCulla’s new Pentair Biogas Upgrading Plant Challapalli Narayan Rao | Advantages of Solar Power  Renewable energy use not only replaces conventional power but also reduces it to the extent of 40%. This is because solar and electrical-based systems are more efficient than conventional fuel-based systems. The efficiency improvement is of the order of 50% of the traditional systems. Renewable electricity energy use is 80% efficient compared to fuel-based combustion systems, which are only 40% efficient. No fuel can be used in raw form. It has to be processed before use. Then it has to be transported to the point of use. This requires a lot of effort and energy. Converting to renewable energy couldcreate several million more permanent, full-time jobs than jobs lost. Among renewable energy sources, the usage by 2050,as per a study, is likely to be about 30000 TWh by solar, 9100 TWh by wind and 800 by hydropower. | Electric/Hybrid | Fimer receives certification for new Fimer Flexa AC Wallbox chargepoints  Global renewable energy equipment manufacturer Fimer has announced that its Fimer Flexa AC Wallbox family of chargepoints has received certification from the UK’s Office of Zero Emissions (OZEV) – part of the Department for Transport - meaning it is now available for installation in the UK. | Stellantis signs lithium supply agreement with Vulcan Energy Used electric vehicles are selling faster than used petrol for the very first time Interviews | GenComm and the Future of Hydrogen: An interview with Paul McCormack, Program Manager of GenComm  Paul McCormack, Program Manager of GenComm (GENerating energy secure COMMunities) describes himself as an entrepreneurial innovator, technology ambitious, green hydrogen proponent and intellectually curious.
