The launch of #PowerBarometer24 was a fantastic moment to dive into Europe’s decarbonisation journey! Get it here 👉 https://bit.ly/3N6Sf9s We explored the power sector’s latest trends and challenges in an insightful discussion with top panellists such as Ditte Juul Jorgensen, Niels Fuglsang, Sam Peacock, Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Stefan Håkansson and Kristian Ruby - masterfully moderated by Sasha Twining! One thing is certain: the EU needs a robust #electrification strategy for the decarbonising industry while boosting power demand and competitiveness. ⚡ We call on policymakers to implement the Green Deal, maintain a market-compatible investment framework and establish a clear electrification strategy for a competitive, decarbonised European industry.

This year’s CERAWeek – an annual energy conference heralded by some as “the Davos of Energy” – drew more than 8,000 delegates from 85 different countries and more than 1,400 speakers from across the energy supply chain earlier this month. This year’s theme, Multidimensional Energy Transition: Markets, Climate, Technology and Geopolitics, centered on the question of how to meet increasing demand for power amid the transition to clean energy, and how to take advantage of the opportunities and anticipate and navigate risk.   Speakers generally agreed the transition will not be linear, and that different geopolitical realities, national priorities and technologies are sometimes in conflict.   Sessions ranged from funding the transition to security of supply to decarbonization, and featured government leaders, regulators, C-suite executives and journalists.    Below are the Brunswick team’s key takeaways. https://lnkd.in/gcz78bhP

First Move To Target IRA Incentives Takes Shape In US Congress The U.S. Congress is taking significant steps to unlock the potential of IRA incentives, aiming to supercharge the #cleanenergy revolution. This initiative could pave the way for a greener future and global collaboration on sustainability. Catch the full story here: https://lnkd.in/g9jTK3qj #solarenergy #greenenergy #renewableenergy

According to a recent FT article, Europe needs €800bn to meet 2030 climate targets. The European Round Table for Industry, an influential Brussels lobby group, said in a report published Tuesday that the EU targets of reducing and reaching net zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 "would require massive investments in power grids, energy storage and carbon capture facilities". What they failed to anlyse is the investment savings in cables and grid infraestructure should Europe hits its targets in energy efficiency and promotes a true European demand flexibility market. In same article, Kristian Ruby, secretary-general of Eurelectric said that what would “make the big difference in the overall investment picture was access to low-risk capital. “If we create the right de-risking instruments, they can play a huge role”. Here is the second biggest gap we are facing: blended finance vehicles and a sovereing green bond liquid european platform. We don´t need to reinvent the wheel, just peek over the atlantic to analyse what the USA is doing with IRA, DERMS and a well functioning capital market will suffice.

#HydrogenValleys are an effective strategy to accelerate the clean hydrogen economy and ecosystems. 🍃 This is just a pill of what we learnt in our latest webinar session with María Jaén from EPRI. Watch the whole webinar here 👇 https://buff.ly/4cqAZHd

The discussion on the climate transmission, decarbonisation and associated pathways is full of noise and little actionable intelligence. Join us as we cut through the noise on the 10th May to examine the role of industrial sectors and their journey to decarbonisation. (register here, its free!! https://lnkd.in/gH-AMixC) Key takeaways will include: 🏭 Which industrial sectors are likely to electrify and which may need to look to alternatives. 🛑 What factors are hampering the pace of the energy transition in industry 🔬 The role of technology and low carbon hydrogen as decarbonisation tools.
