I will focus my efforts on the other place. On this platform I now switch to broadcasting mode and won't read comments anymore or reply to them. Join me over there as this place is going downhill and fast.

HELP NEEDED: Our conceptualisation of energy demand is deeply flawed. I would like to write an academic article expanding on my commentary with an updated Sankey diagram. If anyone wants to work with me on up to date analysis I want to hear from you!

Electrification brings vast efficiency improvements: ⬆️ Heat pumps are 3-5x more efficient than fossil fuel heating. ⬆️ Electric cars are 3x more efficient than the internal combustion engine.

The energy transition debate heavily focuses on decarbonising supply. But what if we focused on demand instead? By considering how much, how efficiently, and when we use energy, we unlock a much richer debate. More in my new article 👇

RT @heatpolicyrich: We have a new peer review journal article, published last week, on UK heat pump costs, drivers and how costs can be bro…

A reminder that the only way for Europe to reduce exposure to volatile fossil gas prices is to significantly reduce gas consumption.

NEW RESEARCH: The EU is NOT on track towards meeting its targets for clean, affordable and secure energy. Much more effort is needed.

This is what sustainability leadership in higher education looks like: 699 year old @OrielOxford @UniofOxford replaces gas heating with heat pumps at 3 accommodation buildings. This will reduce the college‘s largest source of carbon emissions.

The end of an era.

A big contrast: From 2006 to 2023, China's nuclear energy production surged by 690%, rising from 55 TWh to 435 TWh. Meanwhile, Germany's nuclear output plummeted from 167 TWh to zero, making it the only major economy to fully phase out nuclear power.

Contrary to what many companies believe: Industrial electrification technologies have significant potential and are commercially available today for most low- and medium-temperature heat needs.

NEW RESEARCH: IEA WEO energy scenarios have significantly underestimated solar PV growth potential. There's a consistent underestimation of PV. The projected annual additions of solar PV have not aligned with real market developments.

Renewables are expected to become cheaper in 2025 and beyond. BNEF analysis shows new wind and solar farms are already undercutting new coal and gas plants on production cost in almost every market globally.

Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) has a mixed history in the UK. In October 2024, government announced £21.7bn in funding over 25 years, but doubts are growing over its value for money. I recall how 10 years ago the previous government canceled the £1bn CCS competition.

In a net zero world global gas demand will have to drop significantly. Even after accounting for ambitious scale up of hydrogen and biogas overall gas demand will go down says @IEA. But what does this mean for the gas grids? Find our here 👇

Our current energy system is very inefficient with most primary energy inputs wasted. That means: ➡️ vast savings are on offer ➡️ renewables & electrification key ➡️ no need to replace all primary energy More in my article👇

There’s a gulf between installed electrolyser capacity in Europe and what’s needed to meet the 10m t green hydrogen production ambition set out in RePowerEU Strategy. Great slide @NatBullard!

RT @janrosenow: When we looked at the total cost of ownership of heat pumps in the UK I was surprised by this finding: Heat pumps with onl…
