Exciting times are ahead in the energy sector, with European societies exploring a massive expansion of the power grid at a speed unprecedented. The message from NKT was clear at the annual conference on energy in Denmark, hosted by Danish Industry: The European cable industry is dedicated to the task and is investing significantly in additional production capacity and capabilities to accommodate the increasing demand. Investments require long-term visibility, which means that early, long-term contracts are the way forward to secure the right amount of production capacity and capability when it is needed.

EU's climate agenda is crystal clear, renewable #hydrogen is a cornerstone of the strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The target? Producing 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen (333 TWh) within the EU by 2030. As highlighted by Sara Wihlborg, Lhyfe, and Bjorn Aronsson, Vätgas Sverige, Sweden must act now to align with this vision.   Electrification alone won’t solve all the challenges of the green transition. Hydrogen fills critical gaps, especially for hard-to-electrify sectors like heavy transport, shipping, aviation, and energy-intensive industries such as steel and chemicals. Hydrogen has the potential to stabilize energy systems and secure supply during periods of low wind and solar production. It’s not just an energy source—it’s a key enabler for industrial transformation and energy security.   Sweden has unique opportunities: ✅ Extensive renewable energy resources ✅ A strong industrial foundation   However, the debate makes it clear, Sweden is falling behind. Without a national hydrogen target, we risk missing out on the benefits of this future industry. Hence we  urge the government to: 1️⃣ Set a national production goal to support the entire hydrogen value chain to include large-scale and strategic hydrogen projects 2️⃣ Adapt Klimatklivet to include large-scale and strategic hydrogen projects 3️⃣ Introduce a production premium for fossil-free hydrogen, similar to the biogas model. 4️⃣ Ensure through policies that make hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels.   The clock is ticking. Achieving EU’s a hydrogen goals requires decisions today to secure investments and build production capacity by 2030.   Sweden has a unique chance to lead the green hydrogen revolution, creating jobs, attracting investments, and boosting its industrial competitiveness. Let’s not miss this opportunity. #vätgasstrategi

🌟 Debunking Myths: Norway’s Energy Supply 🌟 🔌 Myth: Norway Has Enough Power Supply to Cover our own Consumption Some believe that Norway’s abundant hydropower makes us self-sufficient. In 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣, Norway had a power surplus of around 19 TWh (source: Statnett SF). 💡 Fact: Norway 🇳🇴has a Growing Power Demand and Import Dependency Despite this surplus, the growing consumption and meeting our necessary climate goals leads to a deficit in power already in 2027. Recently, the Minister of Energy finally admitted what the industry has known for a long time – that Norway will not reach its 2030 climate goals with the current pace of power production. Terje Aasland emphasized the need for accelerated development of renewable energy projects and enhanced energy efficiency measures 👏 🤜Words must be put into action or it’s worthless, that is where Cloudberry Clean Energy comes in.

However, Labour refused to say how much GB Energy would commit to the floating wind farms, saying only that Flow would be the new state-owned company’s “first priority”.

The Green Transition is happening in Northern Sweden - there is not better conditions anywhere in Europe to create this transition. The industrial clusters together with the municipality of Luleå with their companies Luleå Energi, Luleå Harbour etc, and the region of Norrbotten is paving the way for a massive gren transition. It is not easy and it is not given and the conditions needs to be right for investment decisions. But if we do not all believe that this will happen and if we do not work together- it will not happen. Happy to participate today at the large conference hosted by the Chamber of Commerce in Norrbotten - “Norbottens handelskammare” to give mine and Uniper’s perspective on the Green Transition.

🅱🆄🆂🅸🅽🅴🆂🆂 🅸🅽 🅽🅾🆁🆆🅰🆈? The introduction of tighter European requirements for the decarbonisation of the industry and transportation sectors will likely create opportunities for cleantech suppliers in Norway. 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 • Cleantech suppliers in Norway could benefit from the introduction of European renewable energy requirements as part of the RED III package. • Norway’s gas exports are set to match or surpass the record set in 2017 amid resilient demand in Europe. • The government is likely to appoint a commission of experts to consider whether the country should build a series of nuclear power stations to reduce its reliance on hydropower.

IEA says global EV sales data remain strong. The current "EV slowdown" seems to be only in Europe, and only in a handful of countries that abruptly ended their elecric car subsidy program last year. But even without any EV subsidies, over 10 per cent of German new car customers chose a battery electric car in the first quarter of 2024. Electric vehicles have never been more competitive.

HTHPs can act as virtual batteries on the grid - Enerin CEO at #Arendalsuka   🇳🇴 Enerin CEO Arne Høeg will be attending Arendalsuka this week, known as Arendal Week, which has been described this year as the biggest political gathering to shape policy in Norway since 2012. He will speak in a panel discussion at 'Det lille hotell', Torvgaten 5, 11:00-12:15.   Tomorrow, the Arendal panel is asking renewable energy companies: How will Norway become a leader in the green shift ❓ The inventor of the HoegTemp Arne Høeg will speak about why heat pumps are tipped as being one of the pivotal technologies to support electrification and climate goals.   ⚡ He will address how high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) can take pressure off, and stabilise, electricity grids through the upgrading of renewable and waste energy into substantial heat and steam, which can be combined with thermal energy storage (TES).   ❗ Some of the best solutions are the simplest. For example, installing water tanks on site is an easy and space-efficient way of storing energy through the heating of water when renewable energy is cheap.   ♻ The heated water can then be used later during peak hours when there is high demand and expensive electricity – a bit like a virtual battery with a minimal carbon footprint. This will take pressure off electricity grids struggling to supply sufficient levels of electricity in some countries, especially in those with plentiful renewables. Only last week, COO Trond-Atle Asphjell was commenting on the massive call on electricity needed for the energy transition over the next 20 years in an environment where there is insufficient grid capacity across many countries.   In Norway, there is a high proportion of electrically generated steam, but it is anticipated that over the next two decades industry would need twice as much electric power than what is currently available.   It is widely recognised that heat pumps offer one of the best solutions to replace fossil fuel energy consumption across many industrial sectors, and buildings, by utilising waste and thermal energy from cold and hot energy storage and by upgrading it for further use.   Enerin’s HoegTemp can also co-generate cooling and steam in a temperature range of -30°C to 200°C which reduces energy consumption for steam and cooling by 50 to 70 per cent, which is why high-temperature heat pumps should be high on the political agenda.   We can meet the climate goals set out for 2030/2040 through policies that support sustainable and secure supplies of clean, circular energy for electrification.   Read more about Enerin’s HoegTemp at www.enerin.no.   The HoegTemp can be seen below, installed at the IVAR biogas plant in Norway. #electrification #HTHPs #heatpumps #grids #batteries #energy #policy #energy #efficiency #climate #decarbonisation #biogas #TES #RES #heat #steam #buildings #industry #power Empire State Realty Trust New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) SUSHEAT Julia Short
