Discover how our Smart Hubs can help transform #portinfrastructure and contribute to green energy goals https://lnkd.in/eSpn2qG8 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ekgF2qXj #Sustainability #Infrastructure #RenewableEnergy #Floatingplatforms #SmartHubs #EnergyTransition

Trend - investments in clean fuel bunkering infrastructure Why - increasing demand, good timing, long term returns, less risky What - clean energy technologies including LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, battery, biogas, methanol, offshore wind, shore connection Where - ports and harbours all over the world When - now, this infrastructure is a must-have, not a nice to have to reach our net-zero targets Who - companies like our ELIRE Infra are well-positioned to enable these new clean alternative fuels with smart infrastructure solutions

Montrose Port Authority advances greenest port mission with appointment of Port Decarbonisation Engineer   Montrose Port Authority (MPA) has appointed Dr Turgay Köroğlu PhD as its Port Decarbonisation Engineer as part of the Port’s mission to become one of the greenest energy hubs in Scotland, reinforcing their commitment to reduce emissions and positively contribute towards Scotland’s ambitious 2045 net zero targets. 🔽 Find more info in comments below 🔽 #MontrosePortAuthority #Decarbonisation #Appointment #NerZero #CarbonEmissions #OilandGasnews ⤵️ Click Follow on our page to keep up to date with energy news ⤵️

New EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: 3 conditions for success

Discover how tailored support for #European #Energy Communities (ECs) can help solve the #energy trilemma - balancing energy equity, #environmental #sustainability, and energy #security. By categorizing ECs into nine functional types, Jens Lowitzsch's, Carsten Croonenbroeck's, Riccardo Novo's research highlights the need for customized policies that align with each community’s unique goals. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of ECs but also ensures that support measures match national priorities, driving the energy transition forward. Let's unlock the full potential of ECs and pave the way for a sustainable, equitable, and secure energy future! 🔋💡 #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #PolicyInnovation Energy Transitions Commission European Commission European University Viadrina Energy Community Energy Communications Read more here: https://lnkd.in/drxnscev

Eight cross-border energy infrastructure projects which were promoted to the status of Projects of Common Interest in 2022, have been awarded a share of 594 million euros. This award has been granted from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which is part of The Commission. This investment was set up as part of the EU’s focus on decarbonising the energy system, as well as achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions. This focus is part of the EU’s wider efforts to reach the reduction targets which have been set up in the European Green Deal. The article below portrays how projects which will very clearly be beneficial to the carbon industry have been allocated funding, in order to help them achieve their goals. Each project is directly connected to the carbon industry and each project will significantly benefit multiple parties.

The final report for the iMOVE project "Freight vehicles: An evaluation of renewable energy fuels" is now available for download at: https://lnkd.in/gpKW6E8E. This project was carried out with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, and Swinburne University of Technology. This 9-month piece of research undertook a comparative evaluation of the energy and environmental performance of the #electricbattery and #hydrogen fuel cell for #freightvehicles in Australia. cc.

Happy to be part of this project with iMOVE! Our research reveals interesting insights into the transition from diesel to #batteryelectric and #hydrogen truck fleets for Australia, highlighting the complexities of achieving #sustainablefreight transport 🚛🔋.  We developed five scenarios, each with varying #renewableenergy mixes and adoption rates, reflecting potential policy impacts. Hydrogen production via electrolysis currently demands significant energy and can emit more GHG than battery electric trucks. When fuel/electricity production is carbon-neutral scenarios, #emissions from vehicle maintenance and disposal remain important. For instance, electric trucks might still generate emissions due to the frequent need for battery replacements over their lifespan.

Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have implemented nearly 300 energy efficiency measures and programs since 1985. However, progress has been uneven. To clear the path for progress, three pivotal factors must be considered: ✔ Long-term commitment and a comprehensive vision as key aspects of successful policy ✔Incentives for integrating more efficient technologies throughout sectors and improved access to information on the impact of these advancements.  ✔Reduce energy subsidies while safeguarding vulnerable populations. https://lnkd.in/eRKwrtmW
