The energy transition is already happening today. The fourth liberalisation package is going through the EU codecision process and it introduces exciting new elements for a demand-driven electricity…

The transport sector still accounts for a quarter of EU carbon emissions, mainly coming from road transport. Direct electrification is playing a leading role in decarbonising the sector with electric…

Introduction to Space-Based Solar Energy Space-based solar energy (SBSE) represents a revolutionary approach to energy generation, aiming to collect solar power directly in space and transmit it back…

What has been apparent for a long time to all of us involved in energy efficiency at business and industry is that the communication layer is the foundation of nascent energy system. It will radically…

What is said about the energy saving potential of VSD (variable speed drive) in industry? Replacing conventional motors by those with variable speed would save about 41 percent of the energy used in…

Decarbonising industry means the decarbonisation of electricity and heat. In principle, industry can rather easily decarbonize their electricity consumption, just buy green electricity. Heat is the…

Electric motors are implicated in two major decarbonisation options involving electrification: electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. This will lead to a significant market growth, as well as growing…

The optimization of energy use in buildings and industry requires a systems approach to harvest its full potential. This idea is winning ground, as it is shown by the proposal of the ITRE committee of…

Furnaces can account for more than 70% of energy consumption in plants dedicated to secondary aluminium production, releasing 25%-35% of the heat they generate. This is why Insertec , a leading…
