The energy transition includes innovations that rethink how existing equipment with a remaining useful life can be made more efficient rather than being scrapped altogether. That's one of the reasons we invited Linda Fanney Valgeirsdottir from Alor to the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi. Alor's innovative hybrid diesel genset system uses repurposed, second-life EV batteries to reduce waste and emissions while enhancing efficiency. These batteries store surplus energy from the diesel generator during low-demand periods and release it during peak times, improving efficiency and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Given the widespread use of diesel generators for backup power and electricity production, this project holds significant potential for social and environmental impact. Alor's circular economy approach and demonstrates practical ways to bridge the gap between today's reality and a fully decarbonized economy. We were thrilled to have Linda Valgeirsdottir and the Alor team at WFES, and we look forward to seeing how their innovative technology helps us transition away from #fossilfuels.

Thank you Jeffrey Beyer. It was a true pleasure for Rakel Eva Sævarsdóttir and I to attend WFES and we are looking forward to bringing this solution to life!
