German Companies Developing Core Hydrogen Pipeline Network
quietus writes:Germany's energy regulator, the Bundesnetzargentur, has given the go-ahead to a proposed 9,040 km (5617 miles) long network of hydrogen pipelines connecting planned key hydrogen import, production and consumption centra within Germany. The network, proposed by the country's gas transmission system operators, should be ready by 2032, at a cost estimate of 18.9bn.The approval process was sped up under the 2022 Energiewirtschaftsgesetz (Energy Industry Act), aiming to enhance competition, security of supply and sustainable energy production, with a focus on offshore wind farms. Appendix 2 of this Act arranges for an 'intertemporal cost allocation' mechanism to finance the network mentioned above.Under this mechanism, all gas network operators will run the same negotiated ramp-up tariffs on entry and exit points of the network, in exchange for state-backed loans and state guarantees to bridge the time until utilisation rates rise and tariff revenues exceed cost.Countries bordering the North Sea (like Germany), aim to scale offshore wind capacity from under 30 GW to 120 GW by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050. Hydrogen is seen as an effective storage medium for excess energy production here.While the concept has always been to run DC cables from the offshore wind farms on land, and produce the hydrogen there, a recent opinion piece suggests that it is more efficient to locate the hydrogen production at sea, too -- and transport the produced hydrogen on land by pipeline.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.

Reaction Engines (of SABRE and Skylon Fame) Has Gone Out of Buisiness
turgid writes:The Register reports that Reaction Engines has gone out of business.Reaction Engines was the company of Alan Bond, of HOTOL (1980s space plane) fame, which he founded to develop new air-breathing rocket engine technology. Their flagship project was the Skylon Single Stage to Orbit space plane, which would use Synergistic Air-Breathing Ram-jet Engines (SABRE) to capture oxygen from the atmosphere, cool and compress it and burn it with on-board liquid hydrogen up to about Mach 5. Then, at speed and altitude, the spacecraft would switch to on-board oxygen stores. In this way, more mass fraction could be dedicated to payload, making SSTO economically feasible.Also, based on similar technology was LAPCAT, a hypersonic airliner.Yet another great British Engineering vision finds its way onto the scrapheap for lack of vision among investors. Still, we export a lot of cheese.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.

Intel's 25-Year Reign on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Has Come to an End
Frosty Piss writes:Nvidia will replace Intel on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, indicating the massive impact of the AI boom on the semiconductor and tech industries and the entire market. According to CNBC, this change will happen on November 8, about three months after news of Intel's financial woes broke out.The move was sparked by Intel's massive stock price drop-over 30% overnight-following the disastrous financial results released last August. The company has been bleeding cash through its data center and foundry divisions, resulting in a $1.6 billion loss for the second quarter of 2024. This was soon followed by news of massive layoffs, with over 15,000 employees affected.Nvidia shares, on the other hand, have climbed over 170% so far in 2024 after jumping roughly 240% last year, as investors have rushed to get a piece of the AI chipmaker. Nvidia's market cap has swelled to $3.3 trillion, second only to Apple among publicly traded companies.Related: Intel Losses Hit $16.6B As Restructuring Efforts Take A TollOriginal SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
