New JRC report: Untapping multiple benefits: hidden values in environmental and building policies
Findings show that green policies can improve both our health and the economy. Study provides guidance to policy and decision-makers in developing a methodology for the inclusion of multiple benefits in a cost/benefit assessment of energy efficiency policies. It is envisaged that providing a macroeconomic understanding will encourage policy-makers and investors to develop and quantify the benefits of more effective energy efficiency in buildings and programmes and drive higher levels of renovation, thus supporting the EU’s Renovation Wave,’ This is an important report that supports the European Green Deals overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral in 2050. The report is available available here. It is available here here. Click here for more information on the EU'sRenovation Wave.

Defining Carbon Neutrality: Not as Simple as It Might Seem
Carbon-dioxide (CO2) accumulates in the atmosphere through natural and anthropogenic processes. In the atmosphere, CO2 absorbs heat and thus causes the atmosphere to heat up. Is simply moving towards CO2-neutrality sufficient for att.

Is the future synthetic? E-fuels and the future energy system
Trucks, Marine and Aviation are the biggest challenge to decarbonisation. There is no scale-able green alternative due the energy density of the alternate sources of energy currently available. To make e-fuels you need plenty of pure Hydrogen.

Could Ammonia be an energy black swan?
Ammonia is produced under super high pressures from Hydrogen and Nitrogen. The feed stock for Ammonia (NH3) is simply Nitrogen and Hydrogen. Potential early applications for ammonia as a fuel include shipping and maybe even aviation.
