🎬 Industry leaders in action: our attendees are diving deep into the causes of the energy sector’s biggest challenges, defining solutions, and exploring how ETN Global can help bring these solutions to life. Here are the six critical topics guiding the group discussions: 1️⃣ How can we establish a clear definition of #lowcarbon ready solutions to support the #decarbonisation of #thermalassets? 2️⃣ What #safety measures and retrofits are required to make power plants #hydrogen-ready by 2030? 3️⃣ Can existing and future power plants provide the #flexibility needed for grid resilience and secure energy supply? 4️⃣ How can asset owners ensure long-term operational capacity for aging #powerplants, especially when spare parts and legacy systems are uncertain? 5️⃣ As #digitalisation grows across industries, how can the market adapt to meet evolving competitive demands of end-users? 6️⃣ How can we define and mitigate the risks posed by extreme climate conditions to the resilience of #gasturbine power plants? Industry leaders doing what they are best at: working together to find solutions and driving actionable change through ETN Global’s collaborative initiatives. And the day is not over! 📻 Stay tuned for more! #ETNWorkshop2024 #energytransition #hydrogeneconomy #gridresilience #decarbonization #digitalization #climaterisk #powergeneration

💡 Highlighting our white paper "Critical role of #dispatchablepower in securing a #sustainableenergy future" presented during the morning session by our Emeritus Member Jansohn Peter. Key insights: ✅ By 2030, Europe will require double the current flexibility resources, and five times more by 2050. ✅ Dispatchable power, such as hydrogen-ready turbines and clean thermal technologies, is essential for balancing supply-demand and providing grid services. ✅ Without increased policy support and investment in carbon-neutral technologies, the risk of losing critical flexible capacity will increase, threatening energy security. ❗❗ This paper calls for urgent policy changes and market incentives to secure dispatchable, low-carbon power for the future. 🧐 Do you agree? 💬 Drop us a message in the comments. #ETNOctoberWorkshop2024 #energytransition #dispatchablepower #sustainability #hydrogeneconomy #decarbonization #gridsecurity #cleanenergy

🎙️ Our 2️nd keynote speaker Tilo Kurtz from The Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and Energy Sector Baden-Wuerttemberg emphasized the urgency of transitioning to #lowcarbon energy solutions and outlined pivotal steps to accelerate the energy transition in Germany and particulary in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Key takeaways from his speech: ✅ A balanced mix of #renewableenergy, #hydrogen, and efficient gas technologies is essential for decarbonizing the power sector. ✅ Flexibility in power generation is critical — #dispatchablepower sources like hydrogen-ready gas turbines will ensure grid stability alongside renewables. ✅ The Ministry is developing a subsidy scheme to support investments in hydrogen infrastructure, enabling a faster scale-up of #cleanenergy technologies. 📌 Follow us to get more updates as the day progresses! #ETNOctoberWorkshop2024 #decarbonization #renewableenergy #hydrogen #energytransition #cleanenergy #sustainability

🔦 Spotlight on the keynote speeches we have just heard: 🎙️ Key takeaways as Wolfram Münch, presented EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG's ambitious roadmap for hydrogen-based power plants: ✅ A significant expansion of renewable energy capacity—from 5.7 GW to 11.5 GW by 2030. ✅ Transitioning from coal to #hydrogen-ready gas turbines, with hydrogen fuel becoming available from 2025. ✅ Massive investments in hydrogen infrastructure 👀 Stay tuned as we reveal more! #ETNOctoberWorkshop #EnergyTransition #HydrogenEconomy #Sustainability #Decarbonization #RenewableEnergy
