Las exportaciones de GNL aumentaron de 0,5 mil millones de pies cúbicos por día (Bcf/d) en 2016 a 15,0 Bcf/d en 2025 y continúan creciendo.

El Foro Económico Internacional de Energías Renovables afirma que el Mar del Norte se está convirtiendo en una potencia energética limpia.

Se fija como meta alcanzar 48 GW de potencia solar y 31 GW de eólica terrestre en 2030, pero no se prevé ningún cierre nuclear antes de 2035 y sí un aumento de la producción, según Aurora Energy Research.

El uso de otras formas de hidrógeno, y no solo la variedad verde producida con electricidad renovable, será “un complemento importante” en el desarrollo del mercado, según BDEW.

El dispositivo se basa en un motor Stirling, un tipo de máquina diseñada para convertir el calor en movimiento mecánico.
