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

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

In times of war or aggression by foreign forces, the underground positioning of UPHS provides an additional layer of security. These systems are less likely to be targeted due to their concealed nature. This strategic advantage ensures that energy resources remain protected during times of conflict. The ability to maintain a reliable energy supply in such scenarios is crucial for national security and resilience. By safeguarding energy infrastructure, UPHS contributes to a nation's capacity to respond effectively to external threats. #EnergyTransition #SustainableEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #SENS 🌍⚡

The Nordic electricity system is facing significant challenges over the coming years. Firstly, we need to transition further towards renewable sources and retire all remaining fossil generators. Secondly, we need to ensure that the retirement of fossil (and possibly also nuclear) units will not lead to power shortages or frequency disturbances. Thirdly, we need to ensure that the best available technologies are deployed to solve the problem. Investments are needed. In Centrica, we are proud to be part of the solution with our investment in more than 100 MW of battery storage capacity in Sweden. With the improvements and harmonization of electricity markets, through Picasso joint procurement of aFRR, trilateral mFRR cooperation and improvements of intraday capacity allocation mechanisms, we are more than ready to play our part in ensuring that the transition happens smoothly with Centrica Energy's multi-market optimisation solution. It will mean that the Nordic electricity grid will be able to connect even more cheap and green energy and accelerate the retirement of the remaining fossil units. #energizingagreenerfairerfuture

🔋"The world needs batteries to achieve the green transition"🔋 This was one of the key topics raised during the discussion at the Energy Transition Norway event hosted by DNV in Høvik where CEO of Beyonder Tove Nilsen Ljungquist attended an interesting panel debate. The debate consisted of key figures such as the Minister of Energy Terje Aasland and CEO of DNV Remi Eriksen, who discussed the challenges of Norway's energy transition. Issues such as decision-making processes, local acceptance, and the impact on industry competitiveness, and technology were addressed, with a main focus on the energy mix towards 2050. Recently, DNV confirmed that global emissions have peaked and that the world is now moving in a greener direction. It has therefore never been more important to talk about batteries🔋⚡️ Norway aims not only to meet its emissions targets but also to remain an industrial nation. Norway and Europe need to decide whether they want to build this industry or not—and then take the necessary steps based on that decision💡 At Beyonder, we base our strategy on these critical choices, adopting a capital-light approach that leverages already ramped-up excess capacity in China. As Norway currently lack the financial strength to establish a manufacturing line domestically or in Europe, we view the solution in China as a “bridging solution”. However, our battery does not compete with cheap EV batteries from China. Instead, it is a high-capacity battery where the pricing formulas are different from traditional EV batteries. With our self-developed technology and custom-designed cells, now qualified for mass production and ready for commercialization, Beyonder is fully prepared to take on the challenge and contribute to the necessary green transition🌍 We are therefore proud to say that Beyonder is now well positioned and in its commercial phase, and has received its official first order 🙌🏼 Lastly, thank you to all the amazing speakers at today's debate, and especially DNV and Energy Transition Norway for having us! We would also like to thank Hanne Simensen, Norsk Hydro, Lars Nermoen and Harald Solberg. #Batteries #Thegreentransition #NorskIndustri
