Hard-to-abate segments in the energy transition require electricity-based e-methanol in large quantities. Transport costs could be a key factor in determining the best locations for future green e-methanol projects. pv-magazine.com/2025/02/11/tra… @JeroAhola @jannik100RE @_JanMertens

During our visit to Laborelec with the @ugent students following the 'Sustainable Energy' course, we learned about the queste for affordable, & sustainable technologies! Not all that is being tested will lead to massive adoption but piloting is the only way to find it out!!!

Interesting New Chart of the Week from @IMFNews. We must ensure that in future, AI is overall beneficial to help fight climate change (e.g. smarter energy production, storage and use) and that it does not just add more emissions to take care off... content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USIMF…

Should we show more affection to CO2? Access to cheap biogenic/atmospheric CO2 will be worth fighting over! Great post by @IRENA & very much in-line with our work published last year: lnkd.in/eHRVqiKQ @ENGIEInnov @CO2ValueEU @sunergy_eu energypost.eu/renewable-carb…
