Honored to have been part of this energizing panel discussion @Siemens.
I highlighted #electrification of low-temperature heat as a clear quick win.
Let’s keep shaping the energy future together. @EnergyVille is always open for #collaboration !

How a small amount of demand elasticity stops wild prices with wind and solar: new pre-print with theory and examples
arxiv.org/abs/2407.21409
Co-authors: @fneum_ & @IegorRiepin
TL,DR: compare prices with inelastic demand on left to right with -5% elasticity (at average price)

📯🇮🇹Italy &🇩🇿Algeria are studying a new electricity project, laying a power cable on the seabed of the Mediterranean sea.
An infrastructure which should accelerate the energy transition and secure supplies to the🇪🇺EU, but that will likely source power from🇨🇳Chinese investments

Should we show more affection to CO2? Access to cheap biogenic/atmospheric CO2 will be worth fighting over!
Great post by @IRENA & very much in-line with our work published last year:

How do we trigger a fundamental change in steel, cement, & chemical production to net-zero that initially raises their cost, but drives global market share uptake while reducing costs to parity? A 🧵from 2 new reports, from @ColumbiaUEnergy & netzeroindustry.org
Heavy industry is a major hurdle in achieving global #NetZero CO2 emissions.
A new CGEP report by @bataille_chris, @sstiebert, @JonasAlgers, Dr. Francis Li, and Margaux Alfare outlines strategies to incentivize investment in near-zero emissions industrial facilities. 🧵👇

Stronger ambitions & implementation are needed to close the gap between countries’ existing plans & the global goal of tripling renewables by 2030.
Mobilising greater clean energy investment in emerging & developing economies is key to achieving this 👉 iea.li/4fARYc7

Die Bregilab tool is echt wel plezant speelgoed. Aanrader voor mensen die denken dat er geen plaats is voor hernieuwbaar of dat je heel België vol zou moeten zetten.
