⚡Attend the #MITEnergyConference and see NOWRDC Executive Director, Lyndie Hice-Dunton, speak on the evolving landscape of U.S. offshore wind energy. 🌊 This session on March 11th will discuss how we can foster an ecosystem to accelerate offshore wind research, development, and deployment, especially in these uncertain times. The dialogue will focus on the #collaborative efforts across government, industry, and academia, to tackle the unique challenges and opportunities facing the U.S. offshore wind sector.

Successfully closed call! The first call for applications within the Nordic Grand Solutions for the Green Transition Programme received 35 proposals. Nordic Energy Research CEO Klaus Skytte notes that the proposals are very varied in thematic focus and scientific approach, with a large number of participants from all Nordic countries and regions. "The Nordic research communities have responded well to the technology-neutral call. It is already clear that the proposals represent what the research teams really want to look at within their field of work, and they have applied themselves to the open nature of the call, to create the best possible pathways forward towards the green energy transition goals for 2030," says Klaus. According to Senior Adviser Lise Nielson, there has been a very strong interest in the call, which is well reflected in the high number of applications. "We are now in the process of doing eligibility checks, and then all the proposals will go to external experts for evaluation," says Lise.

Sharing our expertise at the Global Energy Transition Congress! ⚡ Starting on Monday, we are excited to be taking part in the first edition of a major new energy event, the Global Energy Transition Congress and Exhibition. Taking place in Milan, Italy, the three-day event will bring together over 300 CEOs and ministers as well as energy experts, innovators and thought leaders to address the critical challenges and opportunities to decarbonize the industry and accelerate the transition to a net-zero society. With over 70 conference sessions, 2,000 delegates and 16,000 attendees, the event is a prime opportunity for our teams to showcase our leading capabilities, low-carbon solutions and innovative CCUS technologies and products that support our clients’ decarbonization efforts. On the opening day, our Chief Executive Officer Arnaud Pieton will share his insights and recommendations at a Critical Agenda session on how to overcome obstacles to net zero and fund the energy transition at global scale. The conference will also feature interventions from: our SVP for Decarbonization Solutions, Christophe Malaurie, who will join panels on the global electrification challenge and carbon capture technologies; our Sustainable Fuels VP, Steve Moran, who will address the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport; and our VP Marketing & Sustainability, Sandra MELKI, who will join a roundtable on boosting uptake of viable climate technologies. Come and learn more about what we are doing to accelerate the global energy transition at booth C151 at the Allianz MiCo Convention Centre. #BePartOfTheSolution #GETcongress #EnergyTransition #NetZero #Decarbonization

Hold onto your broomstick! Competitive Energy Services’ in-person Seminar returns this October. In the spirit of the season, we look forward to taking the spooky out of the energy markets for you. Join us for ”Markets Can Be Wicked: Taking the Fright Out of Energy Uncertainty" on Tuesday, October 24 from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the University of Southern Maine Albert Brenner Glickman Family Library. As the season of change approaches and we prepare, once again, for the colder months ahead, we at CES remain focused on trends, factors, and national and geo-political influences that will continue to impact energy markets (and your business and budget) for the remainder of 2023 and beyond. Connect with CES Energy experts who will be on hand during the seminar to cover top-of-mind energy topics, including: 💡 A review of energy commodity markets including electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and propane. 💡 A look back at summer 2023 Peak and a look forward to the winter weather forecast – and the impact of El Niño on energy prices. Includes a near-term look at what you should expect from energy markets over the coming months into 2024 and primary risk variables. 💡 Regulatory & policy updates and incentive changes that will affect your budget and strategy. 💡 Jeopardy Round featuring topics of the day. Pick and choose the topics that you want to talk about: IRA, Net Energy Billing, Trends in Utility Rate Design, Beneficial Electrification, Renewable Portfolio Standards, Battery Storage, Renewable Transition, RECS & Offsets, and more. 💡 Special Guest Speaker & Building Tour - the CES Seminar will also include a special presentation by the University of Southern Maine’s Director of Sustainability, Aaron Witham, on recently opened buildings on campus, including a 580-bed residence hall, on track to be the second largest Passive House building at a university in the United States and the seventh largest Passive House building anywhere in the U.S. The afternoon will conclude with a tour through USM’s McGoldrick Center for Career & Student Success, on track to earn LEED Gold Certification.

Conferences and exhibitions allow engagement and communication with people face to face and without the pressure of a fixed agenda. Free flowing conversations that explore innovation and new ideas are a refreshing change from the schedule of teams meetings that pervade the day to day. What are my takeaways from two days at All-Energy Exhibition and Conference last week and three days this week at UKREiiF? Joined up investment in a future energy system is crucial to unlock development opportunity and connect large generation to changing demands as buildings decarbonise. This new energy system will create new jobs and a transition from jobs in the fossil industry. It will enable new and sustainable economic investment. Future planning of this system will take account of changing energy systems to connect solar, large offshore wind to consumers with data centres, district heating networks and integrating with balancing in battery storage and large thermal energy storage. There is a wall of investment waiting to enable new housing, mixed use and commercial development as well a retrofitting of existing properties. This investment depends on certainty of policy at national and local levels. Local partnerships will enable resource constrained local authorities to work with the private sector to address energy and development projects and to bring the best out of both parties’ expertise and powers to enable long term sustainable outcomes.

"To achieve the net zero goal by 2050, Germany, Italy and France are estimated to account for the highest necessary [grid] investments. Investments in these three countries make up 50% of EU-wide distribution grid investments until 2050." At Cleantech for Italy, innovative grid technologies (IGTs) are at the core of our agenda. Massive investments are necessary to enhance the efficiency and security of our energy systems. This can only be achieved by combining grid expansion with modernisation and optimisation - and that's where IGTs step in. The new report on IGTs by Compass Lexecon and CurrENT Europe, supported by Breakthrough Energy , is a great resource for learning about the topic. I highly recommend reading it if you haven't done so yet (link in the first comment).

🌬️ Exciting developments in the world of renewable energy! Helena Schmidt recently conducted a groundbreaking study on the #SocialImpacts of airborne wind energy in Northern Germany. As airborne wind energy is still a relatively new concept, there's limited understanding of how residents perceive this technology. Gaining insights into their experiences is crucial, allowing the developers to refine the design and implementation of Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES), aligning them more effectively with the local community's needs and preferences.🎈 🔍 Discover the unique insights and policy recommendations from residents living near the SkySails test site. 🏠⚡ Check out our findings here: https://lnkd.in/dASfKa7c #RenewableEnergy #AirborneWindEnergy #Sustainability #GreenTech #Innovation
