EERA - The European Energy Research Alliance’s Post

DRIVING THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA THROUGH COLLABORATIVE ACTIONS In a rapidly evolving world, the energy sector plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of a collective future. Confronted with pressing challenges like climate change, resource depletion, social disruption, as well as the need for energy security - it becomes imperative to rethink strategies and develop collaboration across the entire energy value chain. In a globalised world, all actors are connected by the consequences of collective actions. Meaning global challenges can be only solved together. Sharing best practices, pooling resources, and fostering international cooperation are vital for addressing the transboundary challenges that our planet faces. Attendee Insights: During this keynote speech, the need but also ability of the energy industry to leverage its existing competence and expertise to actively contribute to the energy transition and a more sustainable future are emphasised.

This is a question I find absolutely interesting and necessary in the #energytransition: How do energy companies reach absolute sustainability? For the growing renewable energy industry it is an inherent paradox that growth in economy and materials are necessary (in our current common understanding) to meet political targets and necessary transitions away from fossil fuels. But no matter what industry, you are in, the growth paradigm is what is destroying the livelyhood of people (and other living species) on this planet. So the growth must happen in another way than we are used to. But how? No clue! Yet. Looking very much forward to this webinar! Thank you for sharing, Eva Ravn Nielsen.

I have no clue! (yet) 🤷♀️ What is meant by 'Absolute Sustainability' for #energy companies? But... ...tomorrow (on May 2nd), I will join a webinar and become wiser! 🤯😄 👉 Join me! Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dVVyd5tQ My good colleague Thomas Fruergaard Astrup, Sustainability Lead in Ramboll’s #Energy Division along with Michael Hauschild, Professor and Head of the Centre for Absolute Sustainability at DTU - Technical University of Denmark University of Denmark will speak of: • What is 'absolute sustainability'? • Why should energy companies consider absolute sustainability across business and operations? • Practical applications for companies in the energy sector The teaser says: ✔ 'Absolute sustainability' is about meeting the needs of current and future generations without exceeding the planetary boundaries. ✔ Energy production and consumption have significant environmental and social impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and community displacement. ✔ As such, energy companies have a responsibility to mitigate these impacts and stay within the planetary boundaries. ✔ But how does this apply in practice? ▶ Feel free to share and repost. Thanks! 🙏 #AbsoluteSustainability #EnergyTransition #PartnerForSustainableChange #Sustainability

One of the more interesting parts of how the UK is approaching industrial decarbonisation, is the way it encourages networking and partnerships (via net zero clusters) as a way to change how industry operates. In their latest piece of research for the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC), Sussex Energy Group researchers Benjamin Sovacool Kyle S. Herman, Ph.D. Marfuga Iskandarova and Jeremy Hall combined insights from different fields of study (transition studies and economic geography) with as many as 111 interviews and 54 site visits to assess how well this approach is working and what we can learn from it. Here's what they found: https://lnkd.in/e4pAYw2s Oh Yes Net Zero
