      World Economic Forum - 6 key insights into accelerating the energy transition

      1. The energy transition is not keeping pace with the growing urgency for change.

      2. Lack of access to an affordable energy supply has emerged as a threat to a just energy transition.

      3. Energy diversity - and security - are in short supply.

      4. Regulatory frameworks need to be strengthened to meet the moment

      5. Demanding change increasingly means changing demand

      6. Industrial-strength decarbonization requires industrial-strength collaborations

    1. The stikstofcrisis — or nitrogen crisis — ripped across Dutch industry but it fell hardest on the farmers. Specifically, it has affected those living close to Natura 2000 zones, areas the Netherlands agreed to conserve under European Union law. Crucially for Vollenbroek, the country’s more than 160 protected sites cover 10 percent of its area.

    1. Heat pumps – those powered by electricity, as well as those using fuel – have a significant potential for reducing the specific CO2 emissions for the heat supply in multifamily buildings. This potential is connected with special demands on both sides: the domestic hot water preparation and the heat transfer system (heat sink) as well as the utilization of environmental energy at site (heat source).

    1. We are living in a time of unprecedented danger, and the Doomsday Clock time reflects that reality. 90 seconds to midnight is the closest the Clock has ever been set to midnight, and it’s a decision our experts do not take lightly

      Press release. Doomsday clock changed to 90 seconds to mid-night. Largely due to Russia's invasion to Ukraine.

    1. In March, Fortum and Microsoft announced our joint plan for a ground-breaking data centre region in the Helsinki, Finland metro­politan area.

      Data centers and district heating - a perfect match. Clean electricity and then output for heat.

    1. Heat pumps, powered by low-emissions electricity, are the central technology in the global transition to secure and sustainable heating. The Future of Heat Pumps, a special report in the IEA’s World Energy Outlook series, provides an outlook for heat pumps, identifying key opportunities to accelerate their deployment.

    1. Heat Pump Ready programme:

      There are two main types of projects:

      High density deployment: 11 projects that are focussed on high density deployment of heat pumps in local areas; Optimised solutions: 24 projects that are building new tools, technologies, processes and approaches to improve heat pump deployment.

    1. I am really excited about my new affiliation with Delft University of Technology Civil Engineering to support the development of a new research group on #sustainable #districtheating and #cooling.

    1. We gaan in 5 stappen bepalen of je woning met de huidige radiatoren #LTready is.

      in 5 stappen bepalen

      Stap 1: Bepaal het jaarlijkse gasverbruik voor de ruimteverwarming

      Stap 2: Bepaal het gasverbruik op de ontwerpdag (-10 °C buiten daggemiddeld)

      Stap 3: Bepaal de benodigde uurpiek op de ontwerpdag

      Stap 4: Zet de maximale CV-temperatuur voor ruimteverwarming op 50 °C

      Stap 5: Zet de kamerthermostaat een paar graden hoger, zodat de verwarming minimaal 2 uur aan staat.

    1. Leaks show attempts to water down UN climate report, Greenpeace says Some countries tried to remove findings threatening their economic interests from an IPCC report, documents seen by Greenpeace have revealed. The report comes before a critical round of UN climate talks.
