I will focus my efforts on the other place. On this platform I now switch to broadcasting mode and won't read comments anymore or reply to them. Join me over there as this place is going downhill and fast.

Thanks everyone for their kind messages and words, I really appreciate it!

A virtuous cycle. 🔁 ➡️ The more a technology is produced and used, the better and cheaper it gets through learning, scale, and network effects. ➡️ This reinforcing feedback loop is the fundamental engine of every major tech transition. scurveeconomics.org/wp-content/upl…

We don't need to wait for new inventions to electrify industrial heat. Much of the tech is here. ⚡️ Solutions from electric boilers to industrial heat pumps are ready to deploy, especially for low/mid-temp processes. It's time to scale what works. raponline.org/wp-content/upl…

Want mass heat pump adoption? Fix the running costs. The electricity-to-gas price ratio is key. When policy makes electricity artificially expensive, the cleaner choice isn't the cheaper one. It's time to rebalance energy taxes, as this @theCCCuk chart highlights.

Electro-thermal energy storage could unlock huge potential for industrial electrification. It combines electrified heat with storage for flexible, continuous heat supply, cutting costs and boosting system services. Check out this RAP report 👇 raponline.org/knowledge-cent…

The grid is becoming the frontier of the energy transition: This is what happens if we underinvest and miss out on grid optimisation. Zsuzsa Pató @RegAssistProj “There is congestion in other countries”, but other countries should “definitely” see the Dutch example as a warning.

The more I look at industrial decarbonisation, the more I come to the point of view that we have overstated the role of molecules in the past and underestimated the role of electrons in the future.

Thrilled to share my new commentary in Nature Reviews Clean Technology, co-authored with Sem Oxenaar. We argue for electrifying industrial heat in Europe—a game-changer for efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness. Full version here rdcu.be/evPO0

I always assumed hydrogen was main path to zero-carbon virgin steel but there might be alternatives: ArcelorMittal & John Cockerill plan to build world’s first industrial-scale low-temp iron electrolysis plant by 2027 potentially revolutionising steel. corporate.arcelormittal.com/media/press-re…
