Zero Terrain has received an extraordinary response to the call for applicants to join the Zero Terrain Global Advisory Board. With over 400 applications from passionate individuals across the globe, this overwhelming interest highlights the growing momentum in pursuing sustainable energy solutions and the mission to develop 20 GW of pumped hydro storage globally.    As the world races to meet the demand for long-duration energy storage (LDES)—predicted to require 85–120 TWh globally by 2040 (McKinsey, 2021)—the Zero Terrain innovative technology has attracted attention, particularly in regions where traditional pumped-hydro storage has been geographically challenging. September 30th is the closing date for for applying to be part of the Zero Terrain global advisory board 👇 https://lnkd.in/eu2d6x_R Zero Terrain / Energiasalv, Peep Siitam, Hedwig Meidra, mike mcwilliams, Mario Vee, #sustainableenergy #innovation #advisoryboard

Auxiliary or Essential Services? The new system needs arising from the power system transition toward a 100% non-fossil future and the inherent need for a market redesign places ancillary services in the spotlight of energy transition discussions. Our broad review paper is a handy reference for researchers and industry practitioners regarding the key technical and market design challenges faced by the US and European ancillary service markets. This work was only possible due to the international collaboration with professors Mohammad Reza Hesamzadeh, Ross Baldick, and Damian Flynn; my best friend from Sweden Saeed Mohammadi, and my supervisor in Brazil Daniel Dotta. https://lnkd.in/daVdKQPD

📈How do you identify the best sites to recover hydro energy from water systems? Thanks to the work carried out by our academic partners Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeria Industrial de Barcelona (ETSEIB - UPC) Xavier Escaler and David Bermejo Plana, we detail the process and results of the identification of pilot sites for developing the H-HOPE energy harvester. Download the infographic here! 👉 https://lnkd.in/deB6RwhS.. 🔹 Key operational parameters like flow rate and pressure essential for maximising energy recovery. 🔹 Types of water networks evaluated, including piping systems, open streams, and lagoons. 🔹 Selected pilot sites across Europe including Aigües de Barcelona, ACQUE VERONESI, and Vattenfall. What type of water network or site do you think holds the greatest untapped potential for hydro energy recovery? Share your thoughts below! 💭🌊 #Innovation #Water #Sustainability #HHOPE #hydropower

Luca Riboldi (SINTEF Energy Research) presented the work within Project ACCSESS WP10 titled “A tool to guide the development of cost-efficient inland CO2 transport solutions for the rolling-out of CCTS value chains” at #GHGT17, in Calgary, Alberta (Canada). This work aims at addressing the need for identifying suitable CO2 transport solutions for industrial CO2 sources. To do so, a tool was developed to design the cost-optimal transport strategy to convey CO2 from an inland emitter to the desired hub location considering the geographic and logistic existing limitations. “This study helps understanding the implications of transporting CO2 across Europe when CCS deployment will become a reality. Eventually it will also provide a user-friendly tool for any CO2 emitter to estimate what it cost to transport its CO2.”, claims Luca Riboldi.

At AES Indiana, we're focused on powering Indiana’s future and maintaining our state's competitiveness in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. As part of our commitment to affordable, reliable energy, we've proposed plans to repower Petersburg Units 3 & 4 from coal to natural gas. This transition aligns with Indiana’s energy policy and is the result of an open and transparent Integrated Resource Plan process. Sustainability is critical for Indiana’s long-term growth, and we’re committed to making responsible energy decisions that reduce our environmental impact while supporting economic progress. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources like natural gas is a key step in our journey to create a sustainable future for our communities. In his latest op-ed, Ken Zagzebski, President of AES US Utilities and SVP at The AES Corporation, discusses how these efforts will continue providing affordable, reliable energy to over 520,000 customers. Together, we’re building a brighter future for Indiana. 

In my most recent opinion editorial published in the Indianapolis Business Journal and The Indianapolis Star, I discuss how AES Indiana's proposed plans to repower Petersburg Units 3 & 4 from coal to natural gas is more affordable and more reliable in the short and long term. If approved, this will will save customers approximately $240 million over a 20-year period by avoiding the additional operational and maintenance costs associated with operating Peterburg as a coal-fired resource. By transitioning from coal to natural gas, we are lowering costs and ensuring the most reliable energy for our customers. #energyfuture #Indianaenergy #AES
