Bertrand Piccard travelled around the world in a solar energy powered plane. Day and night. The longest stage of his journey was 43,000 kms, and ended during the night. What is great about listening to him speak is that is that his feats are not inspiring innovation, they are about efficient use of the current available technology to break frontiers. Listening to him at EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology #INNOVEIT is both future thinking and grounding in the present: "Innovation should not be an aliby to do nothing now relying on solutions to be discoverd in the future. We must innovate and create solutions with what we have today". Solar Impulse Foundation #fufureofbusiness #futureofpolicy

How can local government meet its net zero ambitions in a time of great financial challenges? During a CIPFA x Norse Group roundtable discussion in October 2023, attendees considered a range of initiatives to help local government achieve net zero. Despite obstacles, initiatives such as LED lighting, renewable energy adoption, and hybrid working show promise, but scaling up is hindered by resource limitations and policy uncertainties. Collaboration, investment, and public engagement are seen as crucial for local governments to lead by example and drive progress towards net zero, with emphasis on leveraging technology, partnerships, and youth involvement for long-term success.

Did you know that in 2020, some 733 million people worldwide were still living without electricity? Sustainable Development Goal 7, “Affordable and Clean Energy,” aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by: 👉 helping increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix; 👉 fostering the expansion of infrastructure and upgrade in technology to supply modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries; 👉 fighting to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services; 👉 enhancing international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy. #SITAlumni contributing to #SDG7 include CM Fluids, nuventura, ROSI, Trigger.Systems , Vortex Bladeless Wind Power and WeDoSolar. One small way you can support #SDG7 as an individual is by plugging appliances into a power outlet and turning them off completely when not in use, including your computer.

With a focus on sustainability and system integration, BRIDGE aims to drive decarbonisation and the green transition. 🔋 Key information: 📌 1.6 billion EUR in EU funding 📌2237 partners involved 📌Accelerating the European Green Deal goals Learn more about the BRIDGE initiative and it's role in accelerating EU Green Deal ➡ https://lnkd.in/gZ8JWPmz #GreenEnergy #SmartGrids #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

Yesterday’s ERC event focused on MATCHING ENERGY SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR INDUSTRY. The ERC event offered valuable insights on existing and expected policies, gave practical examples. Here are some takeaways:   📌 In between energy supply and demand for industry is infrastructure. No transition without transmission. 📌 There is room for industry in North West Europe. But this means making political and societal choices. 📌Companies and network operators have different timelines for investment and do not always speak the same language. 📌The industrial cluster approach can help break through the chicken and egg dilemma about energy demand and network capacity. Cluster chairs can help in bringing parties together.  And finally: 📌Collaboration is important but transforming the energy system and transforming industry requires cocreation by different players along the energy value chain. Many thanks to all attendees for their active participation and to all speakers, panelists, moderators and focus group leads for their contributions!

⚖️ How is the market access of VPPs regulated in different countries? We're all familiar with the 🇪🇺 European Commission's grand ambitions for the clean energy transition. But let's get real: the flexibility market is crucial for making those ambitions a reality, and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are crucial for the flexibility market. ❓ Yet, how exactly is this flexibility supposed to reach the grid? What about the market access rules? And which markets are even open to VPPs? ❓ Despite Europe's lofty goals, do you know how many EU countries actually allow VPPs to participate in ancillary services bidding? Research reveals that in countries like Spain and Italy, where renewable production is soaring, VPPs are still shut out of the ancillary service markets. And exactly the same countries are forking out more cash 💸 than others for ancillary services. But there's more. Did you know that Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in general are still lagging the development of distributed assets by preventing them from connecting to the grid? ❓ And which European country dares to be a pioneer in residential flexibility access to the market, not just in ancillary services but across wholesale markets too? Hint: it's not in the EU... Now, let's ask:  ❓ What's the European Commission actually doing to level the playing field? Are they taking action to standardize access rules for VPPs across different markets, from capacity markets to ancillary services and beyond? Is this a part of the European Green Deal? ❓ And what about the 🇺🇸 US. Maybe they've got it all figured out over there? If you want to know more about the regulatory environment for VPPs, join us on the 17th of April for the webinar "Virtual Power Plants: Separating Fact from Fiction", organized by narrativio GmbH and Commodity Technology Advisory LLC. 🎟️ Sign up now to reserve your virtual seat at https://lnkd.in/d2j4RDne #VPP #VPPfactfiction #gridflexibility #energytransition
