I checked these papers myself in December. Many universities participating and indeed it is very true!! We have again a very serious GWP problem. The HFO converts in R23 for approximately 2-4% minimum up to 11% with GWP 14800. Big thing! Please read and repost

Great News for Storage Developers in Germany! The Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf has just ruled that applying the grid connection fee ("Baukostenzuschuss") for battery storage is discriminatory. Let's break it down: 🔗 What is this fee and why is it applied? The Baukostenzuschuss is a fee charged to storage developers to build the last part of the grid necessary to connect their battery to the grid. 🚫 Why is this an issue? The Baukostenzuschuss can be very high, increasing investment costs by up to 20%, significantly impacting project economics. The lack of transparency and regional variation make it even more problematic for developers. 💼 Implications for Developers: Things may move slowly. Even without an appeal, a new methodology for calculating the Baukostenzuschuss needs to be developed for storage, potentially leading to more legal cases. The current situation hinders battery investments, so deviation from the status quo is necessary. Additionally, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action's storage strategy draft recognizes the uncertainty as a roadblock, hinting at potential regulatory support.   More information on the court ruling can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eXnVcdT8   If you are interested in the storage strategy- here is a summary Aurora Energy Research published in the latest Flexible Energy Report.

In collaboration with Technische Universität Dresden, we have published a study regarding grid fees, which identifies potential improvements to the Federal Network Agency's current plans for allocating grid expansion costs and proposes effective solutions. 🔍 The findings: ◼ By 2040, over 60% of the costs for network operation could be distributed nationwide. ◼ A uniform network charge regulation could enable a fairer distribution of loads and strengthen acceptance for the energy transition. 💡 Our demand: We call for a radical simplification of the system to effectively address the challenges of the energy transition and fairly distribute costs. 👉 The press release (in German): https://lnkd.in/ddBZa9ta 👉 The study can be downloaded as a PDF document: https://lnkd.in/dcAMyECf 💬 The presentation of the study will take place on 14 June 2024, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST. On the panel will be: ◼ Prof. Dr. Dominik Möst, Chair of Energy Economics at TU Dresden ◼ Winkler Thomas, Managing Director of VSB Deutschland ◼ Moderated by: Nils Rübelmann, Energy Policy Advisor at VSB Deutschland 🚩 Please mark the date and register by 6 June: https://lnkd.in/d_QqxEMe Share these important findings and discuss with us future solutions for sustainable energy policy! 🌍 #EnergyTransition #NetworkCharges #EnergyPolicy #FutureOfEnergy #Bundesnetzagentur #Study

🌞Proudly presenting one of the first of its kind: #Aluminium made without direct CO2-emissions, in a process where inert anodes replaced the traditional carbon anodes that have been used for more than 100 years. The carbon anodes have been a major source of CO2-emissions in aluminium production during all this time. The new inert anode process, run by renewable electricity, will not only pave the way to carbon-neutral aluminium production, but also to a new era of seasonal energy storage in Renewable Metal Fuels. 💡 More insights into this game changing approach will be presented at the First International Symposium on Renewable Metal Fuels: https://lnkd.in/dTQsPNCm 🙏 Thank you to all partners of the EU project REVEAL-STORAGE for the excellent work and exchange at month 24 meeting in Brno (CZ) last week.
