The keynotes tomorrow and Wednesday address the main problems we are facing right now in Europe and the world. We have solutions for the Energy Crisis. #SESAAU2022
The challenges for power2X & electrofuels are significant. We need to hold back to ensure energy security. On the other hand we need to further develop this KEY technology.
It's key is to have holistic approaches looking at both the consumers and the producers of heat. There are synergies to lower temperatures and waste heat sources.
Aalborg Forsyning has adapted a comprehensive green strategy. #SESAAU2022
As we saw this summer cooling is a real challenge. District Cooling is a key technology that, like district heating, has developed over time. Sven Werner, @HogskolanHstd present our latest paper on its generations,
In two days we have @CoHedegaard
Former European Commissioner, Minister for Environment and Minister for Climate and Energy as our keynote at #SESAAU2022. She posses the questions of whether we can deliver the Danish targets and the EU’s #Fitfor55? smartenergysystems.eu/wp-content/upl…
Based on the @sEEnergiesEU I will focus on the Energy Efficiency First principle - also linked to #REPowerEU 2030, #FitFor55 and a 100% renewable energy in 2050 for Europe.
In the report, "The Battery Mineral Loop," @RockyMtnInst presents a comprehensive strategy to tackle the rising demand for battery minerals. Contrary to popular belief, battery minerals are not the new oil.

As battery demand escalates, the forces of efficiency, innovation, and circularity are set to drive peak demand for mined minerals within a decade — potentially avoiding mineral extraction entirely by 2050.

This shift enables a transition from linear extraction to circular loops, offering benefits for climate, security, equity and health.
- Improvements in chemistry mix, energy density + recycling over the past decade have reduced lithium, nickel, and cobalt demand.
1/7 Wind power cannot be blamed for electricity outages in Texas. Bad legislation, ownership models and worn out old electricity distribution grids can. Trust me - I come from a country with 50% wind power combined with well run grids and much colder weather (Denmark).
2/7 Certainly the extreme cold right now is very unusual and also makes it ok with an outage for a few hours. But days is more a systematic failure in my opinion. Also note that this phenomenon is connected to climate change!
3/7 Technically better more efficient buildings would have helped here in such a winter, but also with high cooling demands in the summer.
It's not really new that it gets cold in Texas. Last time was 2011 with 3 million effected for days. Now it's worse with 4 mill.
