Denmark is a European frontrunner in heating decarbonisation. The country’s district heating systems serve the majority of buildings nationwide, especially in urban and suburban areas. District heating in Denmark increasingly relies on clean energy, benefits from efficiencies and economies of… View Summary +

Europe is at a crossroads in its quest to meet ambitious climate goals. Industrial emissions, which contribute 20% of the continent’s greenhouse gases, must be drastically reduced — by 90% by 2040 — to align with the European Union’s net-zero… View Summary +

Industrial energy use — including for heat in industrial processes — is a significant source of carbon emissions in Europe, accounting for 20% of the region’s greenhouse gas emissions. To meet climate and renewable energy goals, industrial decarbonisation needs to… View Summary +

In early October, the energy regulator Ofgem closed its Regional Energy Strategic Plan (RESP) policy framework consultation; there are some positive developments coming, but the need for further reform remains. Overall, it’s clear more regional planning is… View Summary +

The European Commission is currently developing an electrification strategy to deliver this vital tool for meeting EU climate targets. One aspect that has been historically overlooked is the contribution of energy efficiency policy in the electrification process. Up to now,… View Summary +

The Commission and others have identified renewable electricity as the main lever to reduce gas imports and reduce industrial carbon emissions. Yet electricity prices are often significantly higher than fossil fuel prices, so the business case does not always stack… View Summary +

Reducing emissions in Europe’s buildings necessitates replacing fossil fuel boilers with greener alternatives. Hybrid heat pumps have been considered by some to be an interim step between fossil fuel and electric heating. ‘Hybrid heat pump’ is a term which is… View Summary +

As countries around the world make progress towards decarbonisation, more sectors are shifting to cleaner, renewable resources. The grids, crucial infrastructure for decarbonising the power sector and the overall economy, are increasingly struggling as capacity grows scarce in some regions. View Summary +

Electrification is the name of the game Heat is a crucial element in almost every manufacturing process, whether it is in the heavy stuff of melting glass and steel or firing ceramics at scorching temperatures (800°C-1,500°C), producing chemicals (100°C-500 °C),… View Summary +
