Japan, a long-time supporter of nuclear power, now has serious hydrogen ambitions. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be powered by hydrogen. Hydrogen may have lost the race to fuel electric cars but it looks a likely contender to replace fossil fuels in trucks, ships, planes and heavy industry. By Fred Pearce.

From the abrupt halt to support to photovoltaics in Spain in 2009 to issues with the territorial planning of incentivised wind power in France and Germany (or near Donald Trump’s golf course …) renewable energy policy can prove hard to manage, even (or especially?) when it relies on apparently simple market-based instruments.

Offshore wind is an important component of the global response. It is expected to grow to a capacity of 228 – 330 GW by 2030 and 1,800-2,465 GW by 2050 (supplying up to 13% of global electricity demand, up from almost 2% today). Wind power would do well in such a comparison with fossil fuel energy. High Cost (no).
