when the FT revealed in January that the cost of building the Sizewell C nuclear plant had risen to around £40bn they all denied it

now we can reveal the actual price tag - to be announced this week - and it is £38bn

Ministers set to admit Sizewell C nuclear plant pricetag has soared to £38bn

New official estimate reflects surging construction inflation and contingency costs

@nworbmot.bsky.social is doing really important stuff again, simulating how methanol (instead of hydrogen) could be the fuel to power a system otherwise mainly running on solar, wind and batteries. SUPER interesting paper.

🚨 New Research!

Can heat pumps be cheaper than gas boilers? Our study shows how.

🔹 Cost parity at SCOP 3.3 in UK
🔹 Shifting ⚡levies to taxation lowers costs
🔹 Moving levies to gas even more
🔹 Time-of-use tariffs unlock savings

"What do you think about hydrogen-ready boilers?" I was asked by tagesschau.bsky.social

My response:

"If I have a garage, I can also say it's ‘Ferrari-ready’. I could park a very expensive sports car in there. Hardly anyone does that because it's too expensive."

Although I have to politely disagree with the statement that IAMs don't include e-fuels and DAC. While this was the case in the past and might have led to a bioenergy/BECCS bias, many IAMs include both by now. Tagging @fschreyer.bsky.social, @rpietzcker.bsky.social , @gunnarenergyclima.bsky.social

Cool new study looking at near-optimal solutions for biomass in a future European energy system. Biomass is particularly valuable for providing carbon, less so for energy.

Also some interesting points on IAMs in comparison to detailed energy system models like PyPSA.

Scaling up green hydrogen will be difficult if future projects solely depend on expensive subsidies. Policy makers need to implement supportive policies grounded in realistic expectations.
