We are thrilled to release our new report on fDi Institute which sheds light on investment opportunities in the Carbon Capture industry. 🌟 Carbon Capture, Utilisation, & Storage (CCUS) technology has been in the limelight as the transition to sustainable energy sources and other related initiatives have become major goals in sectors across the world. Attached is a sample snippet from the report ⬇️ Learn more about fDi Institute - https://lnkd.in/eieWe7sb

Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of sustainable development, yet various obstacles hinder its full implementation. Università Ca' Foscari Venezia , #ENGAGE4ESG Consortium Partner, recently concluded a research report on the risks and opportunities for long-term adoption of #EnergyEfficiency in #GreenInvestments.   The insightful report delves into the specific challenges faced in #Spain and the #Netherlands, such as financial constraints, regulatory issues, and market dynamics.   🔗 Check out a summary of the report here: https://lnkd.in/exEBQmC5 *ENGAGE is co-funded by the European Union #EUGreenDeal #LIFEprogramme #SustainableFinanceEU #EUTaxonomy #GreenTransition #FitFor55

Let us introduce you to our partner Universiteit Utrecht 🇳🇱, which focuses on reducing the costs of heat storage!   💬 Dr. Wen Liu is assistant professor at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University: "We contribute to the transition to a #sustainable society through research that is both scientifically excellent and societally relevant. It brings together researchers from both the natural and social sciences working on topics as far-ranging as renewable energy integration, circular business models, ecosystem resilience, and the politics of environmental treaties." 🎯 "In the PUSH-IT project, we contribute to the topic of reducing the levelized cost of energy (#LCOE) and generating a sustainable energy economy. Our research objective is to develop a generic, open-source, high-performance, and highly scalable model to assess the LCOE reduction and carbon emission reduction costs (CRC) of heat storage in geothermal reservoirs combined with different heat supply sources. The model will be verified and applied to the demo sites and beyond." 🔜 "With our research contribution, a Python-based #opensource tool will be developed to evaluate and optimize the costs of energy and costs of reducing carbon emissions for the whole heating system. The tool aims to facilitate the decision-making process of designing and scaling up heat storage in geothermal reservoirs in future heat transitions."   This way, PUSH-IT is shaping the way for an #affordable and sustainable heat system.   ➡️ Get to know the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development: https://lnkd.in/gCZJ6i2 ➡️ Read more about the PUSH-IT consortium: https://lnkd.in/ebrQSP2n   David G. #HeatStorage #Engineering #Research #EnergyTransition #Geoscience #EUfunded

Source: By Karen Chapple, Faculty Director of the Center for Community Innovation and Associate Professor, City & Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley What is the Green Economy? At its most basic level, the green economy is the clean energy economy, consisting primarily of four sectors: renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal); green building and energy efficiency technology; energy-efficient infrastructure and transportation; and recycling and waste-to-energy. The green economy is not just about the ability to produce clean energy, but also technologies that allow cleaner production processes, as well as the growing market for products which consume less energy, from fluorescent lightbulbs to organic and locally produced food. Thus, it might include products, processes, and services that reduce environmental impact or improve natural resource use. Remark: As we all know the un stability of environmental issues bring not opportunity but too treat and even the consequence is ruthless disaster every where, including the current hurricane happening in USA. Hence, the stability of environment looks more vital and the economic activities shall give attention more to the green economy agenda.

I am excited to share that my colleagues Carl Dalhammar at The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) - Lund University, Emma Brodén and I published a study focusing on integrating Circular Economy principles into smart grids. You can find the study here: https://lnkd.in/dzRsJf_D In our article, we investigate how smart grid developments can benefit from integrating Circular Economy principles to increase sustainability. It is possible to consider and optimize resource use and reduce environmental impacts. We discuss the need to overcome regulatory barriers and adopt innovative, more circular business models like leasing or renting equipment. It is possible to create not only a smart but also a more sustainable grid - a more resource-efficient and resilient energy system! #CircularEconomy #SmartGrids #Sustainability #Energy #Climatechange #EnergyEfficiency      

I am excited to announce that my latest Editorial, "Importance of interdependency: energy‑water nexus and energy‑emission nexus," has been published in Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy. I am grateful to Prof. Santanu Bandyopadhyay for their endless guidance and support. Check out the link below to learn more about the interdependency of the water-energy nexus system and the energy‑emission nexus system to promote sustainable development.
