Increasing ambition for renewable heating and cooling: Is the current energy modelling enough?
EGEC has released a policy paper assessing the current European Commission’s energy modelling for heating and cooling, used to generate forecasts that serve as basis for policy proposals and policy making. The resulting analysis shows a lack of robustness in the Commission’s forecasts for the heating and cooling sector, which translates in a lack of ambition, in the initial ...

What does decarbonising the UK actually mean?
How can we get further up the road to decarbonising the UK, and what can we learn from other countries? When the North Sea gas was found by accident at a water well in the German city of Hamburg in 1911, it is doubtful they knew that the discovery would be the toast of British energy companies in years to come. North Sea gas, extracted from the many oilfields that have been discovered in the ...

Industrial decarbonisation: How to reduce your carbon footprint?
Decarbonisation is a crucial stake for all companies, given that the industrial sector is responsible for 19% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. In 2021 it was directly responsible for emitting 9.4?Gt of CO2, accounting for a quarter of global emissions. While progress has been made in this sector since the 1990s, the manufacturing industry (part of the industrial sector) alone produced 78.4 ...

Sustainable hydropower to advance climate action Sustainable hydropower can help governments to limit the impacts of cli
The year 2020 was supposed to be a milestone for climate action. It’s the five-year landmark of the 2015 Paris climate agreement and the first test in countries’ willingness to strengthen their targets for climate action. Governments were expected to put forward more ambitious short-term plans for 2030, and long-term targets for 2050, to decarbonise economies and keep global ...

Renewable and nuclear heresies
Renewables are not green. To reach the scale at which they would contribute importantly to meeting global energy demand, renewable sources of energy, such as wind, water and biomass, cause serious environmental harm. Measuring renewables in watts per square metre that each source could produce smashes these environmental idols. Nuclear energy is green. However, in order to grow, the nuclear ...

How fire can be tamed
Combustion dies at the interface between breathable air and macroscopic pieces of certain involatile fuels. If fed only them, in a compressed oxygen chamber, it makes an almost sunlike flame that cannot run wild. If upon dilution to manageable coolness the ash drops to the chamber bottom, and from there can be removed without the diluent, true harnessbrokenness is possible. Excess oxygen can be ...
