Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs is reportedly drafting a reform to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) that would eliminate guaranteed financial support for small-scale rooftop solar installations. The proposal targets private systems with a capacity of up to 25 kilowatts, arguing that falling installation costs and high self-consumption rates have made these projects independently profitable. […]

The traditional concept of energy security through fossil fuels is being challenged by experts who argue that oil dependency actually undermines national stability. While consumers focus on prices at the pump, billions in taxpayer funds are diverted to military operations to protect global oil routes. In contrast, renewable energy sources like wind and solar panels […]

Germany’s hydrogen refueling network, managed by the H2 Mobility consortium, presents a facade of steady growth that masks significant underlying economic challenges. While total hydrogen dispensed across the network has climbed to approximately 59 tons per month, an analysis of per-station utilization reveals a system operating far below commercial viability. With average daily throughput reaching […]
