🌍💡 Did you know that producing 1 kg of hydrogen typically emits around 10 kg of carbon dioxide? This significant carbon footprint undermines hydrogen's potential as a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels. The most common method, steam methane reforming, releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide. While alternatives like water electrolysis exist, they consume a large amount of electricity. Enter Spark Cleantech, a French startup from Paris-Saclay. They've developed a groundbreaking technology that generates hydrogen using only a fraction of the electricity required for water electrolysis. Spark's innovative plasmalysis process breaks down methane into hydrogen and solid carbon using cold nanopulsed plasma. For more details, check out https://lnkd.in/ddimQc-6. This technology not only produces hydrogen without carbon dioxide emissions but also yields solid carbon, which can be transformed into valuable products like tires, inks, and rubber. During my internship with Spark Cleantech, I gained invaluable insights into the workings of a small R&D team. I even got hands-on experience, thanks to the incredible mentorship of Sara Delahaie and the amazing Spark Cleantech team. Next year I will have the opportunity to pursue an internship abroad as part of my second year at ENS Paris Saclay. I am already looking forward to it!

End of Internship and Transition to a New Stage of Research: PhD 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce the completion of my research internship, a project provided by FlexTASE (https://lnkd.in/dJrii4nq) collaborative effort between G2Elab and Laboratoire G-SCOP at the Université Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble INP - UGA & Grenoble INP - Ense3). This project focused on indirect energy flexibility in residential buildings, marking a major step forward in optimizing energy consumption while integrating renewable energy sources and human decisions. 🌱🔋 🌍 The Focus: I developed a multi-agent simulation model to evaluate how indirect energy flexibility, driven by user behavior, can shift energy usage to periods of renewable energy surplus. The model included factors like decision-making, flexibility types, occupancy, and real data analysis from French households (100 houses data with all household appliances energy consumptions during 1 year, shown in 10 min time step). Our findings show that 3-7% of energy consumption can be shifted, reducing reliance on the grid and maximizing renewable energy use. 📊🌞 📈 Key Insights: - Flexibility strategies can significantly reduce grid dependency. - User engagement is crucial for successful implementation. - A scalable framework was developed that minimizes disruption of daily routines. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Stéphane Ploix and Professor Frédéric Wurtz for their invaluable guidance and supervision throughout the project. 🙏 This research lays the groundwork for my upcoming PhD, and I’m excited to continue working with Professor Stéphane Ploix on further exploring the potential of energy flexibility to address global energy challenges. 👉 Curious to know more? feel free to contact me—I’d love to hear your thoughts! #EnergyFlexibility #Sustainability #Research #RenewableEnergy #PhDJourney #SmartGrid #ElectricalEngineering #Ense3 #G2Elab #FlexTASE #GSCOP #Residentialbuildings #buildingenergy #Flexibilitysimulation #Flexibilityindicators

🌍 India’s Energy Transition: Navigating the Path to Sustainability 🌱 As part of the 1M1B (1 Million for 1 Billion) Green Internship (in collaboration with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Salesforce), I’ve had the opportunity to explore how data-driven solutions and innovative technologies are key to tackling climate challenges, particularly in India’s rapidly evolving energy sector. ✔️India is experiencing a surge in energy demand due to rapid economic growth and increasing cooling needs amidst more frequent heatwaves. While renewable energy now accounts for 46% of the country’s total installed capacity, fossil fuels, particularly coal, continue to dominate, with over 70% of electricity still generated from coal. ✔️In early 2024, "coal production and imports" reached record highs to meet the rising seasonal demand for electricity during another intense summer heatwave. This highlights the pressing need to accelerate the adoption of "renewable energy" and "efficient storage systems", both of which are now more "cost-effective than fossil fuels" in the Indian context. ✔️Yet, despite these advancements, "fossil fuel subsidies" remain "nine times higher" than those for renewable energy, signaling the need for urgent policy reforms to prioritize clean energy and sustainability. ✔️India has committed to ambitious "net-zero goals" and formalized some of its "2030 targets", but to truly meet the global "1.5°C Paris Agreement target", transformative action and transparent accountability are necessary. This internship has reinforced that "every step counts" whether it's adopting clean energy, reducing energy waste, or advocating for systemic policy changes. By working together, we can drive bold "climate action" and create a sustainable future for all. Let’s harness the power of "innovation and collective responsibility" to shape the world we want to see!

Creating a software solutions that can engineer projects and then optimise the design is a fascinating area to study as it can provide large cost savings using the latest technologies. Therefore it was great opportunity over the summer to have one of our interns Varun Vajrapu look at the optimisation solar, wind and battery based on a hypothetical energy demand. If we combine this with our H2Evolution model for green hydrogen production, we will be able to optimise the two modules. Eventually, AI models will be developed to optimise larger engineering problems, such as the development of green ammonia and SAF. Automating the calculations and optimising the whole model based on different constraints will provide rare insights into reducing LCOH or SAF etc. Currently the project revolves around isolated microgrids, with H2 Evolution, but eventually we will be able to develop more complex energy problems, maybe for the next intern team. As you can see from the plot we have a number of problems to solve but you can see the vision #kbrdigitalsolutions #hydrogen #digital #innovation
