Interesting discussion @#EHPsummit Brussels on integrated flexibility of electric grids and district heating. 'As negative electricity prices become more standard, district heating and cooling is an exciting way to buffer the excess energy'. A statement I can only support, as our research @ VITO EnergyVille shows it is feasible! #bringheathome https://lnkd.in/ezeRmFQ4 https://lnkd.in/eQMrph5S #dhc

🚀 EV Future News: 500 Renault 5 Carsharing EVs Used in European First V2G Scheme Together with the city of Utrecht, Renault Group, We Drive Solar, and MyWheels have introduced the first V2G-enabled carsharing program in Europe. Renault Group reports that the city joined the program in response to the Netherlands’ significant boom in renewable energy. Renault Group will supply 500 Renault 5 E-Tech electric vehicles equipped with Mobilize’s V2G technology. We Drive Solar will install and run bidirectional charging stations. MyWheels, the Netherlands’ premier carsharing company, will operate the fleet. 🌟 Significance of the Partnerships This will be the first time V2G bidirectional charging technology is employed to improve public infrastructure. 500 electric cars could deliver 10% of the flexibility required in the Utrecht region to balance solar and wind energy use during peak hours. The implementation of Mobilize’s V2G technology will be a huge step forward for the region, allowing We Drive Solar' s public infrastructure and services to help create a more robust and sustainable energy system on a wide scale. This collaboration demonstrates the significance of public-private partnerships in quickening the shift to healthier, more effective urban mobility options.

The AVILOO FLASH Test emerged as winner in a nationwide study conducted in the Netherlands for independence and reliability in battery testing. BOVAG, the Dutch association representing businesses in the mobility sector, and the Association of Electric Drivers (VER) compared #batterytests from five providers and published their findings: https://lnkd.in/dWns4Ykm All benefits of the FLASH Test, like e.g. buyers’ certainty and profit maximization, naturally apply to the Dutch market as well. Moreover, we would like to emphasize that our method - currently utilized by 153 car dealers in the Netherlands - is tamper-proof, easy to use with plug-and-play functionality, and it covers 95% of all electric vehicles (#EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (#PHEVs) available. A standout feature of the 3-minute FLASH Test is its precision in analysis, capable of detecting cell defects and highlighting them in the test report with 'Red Flag' alerts.

A new report from the European Automobile Manufacturers'​ Association (ACEA) highlights several critical points regarding the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the European Union (EU): 𝟭. 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱: The EU needs to increase the number of public charging points eightfold annually by 2030 to meet its CO2 reduction targets. This is in response to the rapid growth in electric car sales, which have been outpacing the installation of new charging points. 𝟮. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: There is a notable gap between the current availability of public charging points and the future needs. The installation of charging points has not kept pace with the surge in battery-electric car sales, which grew three times faster than charging point installations between 2017 and 2023. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮'𝘀 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 South Africa's move towards the electrification of the auto industry faces unique challenges, particularly given its existing infrastructure issues: 𝟭. 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: South Africa's power grid is already under significant strain, with frequent power outages and load shedding. This poses a major hurdle for the reliable operation of EV charging stations, which require a stable electricity supply https://lnkd.in/eqWsf3eB 𝟮. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Similar to the EU, South Africa would need substantial investment in charging infrastructure to support a growing number of electric vehicles. However, financial constraints and the need for careful fiscal management may limit the government's ability to fund these initiatives https://lnkd.in/e6B8fMSu 𝟯. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: The adoption of electric vehicles in South Africa is further complicated by high vehicle costs, limited charging infrastructure, and general skepticism about the reliability of electric power. These factors could slow down the transition compared to regions like the EU.

Yesterday, a couple of members of the Charging Energy Hubs project participated in the inspiring Holland High Tech Network Event 2024. This event focused on innovation and transformation, essential themes for the future of Europe and the rest of the world. As a sector, we play a crucial role in the urgent transitions to a circular economy, the energy transition, and the implementation of digitalization. Together, we find solutions to societal challenges. At the marketplace, various National Growth Fund programs were presented, including the Charging Energy Hubs (CEH) project. The future of logistics is electric, and this transition places high demands on both fleet managers and the power grid. Tim van 't Wel, work package leader of CEH, explained how in 'Charging Energy Hubs' the supply and demand for electricity are matched in terms of both location and time. The electrification of transport plays an essential role in this. By aligning the electricity demand from logistics with the energy generated by, for example, solar panels, we can relieve the electricity grid. These innovative strategies not only accelerate the energy transition but also pave the way for the integration of electric trucks and associated charging infrastructure. The CEH project represents a significant step forward in the transition to sustainable energy and demonstrates the potential of decentralized energy systems. We continue to innovate and transform, for our future, for Europe, and the world. #Innovation #Energy #EnergyTransition #CEH #HollandHighTech2024 #SustainableEnergy #SmartIndustry #CircularEconomy #ChargingEnergyHubs Nationaal Kennisplatform Laadinfrastructuur NKL, Brainport Development, RAI Automotive Industry NL , RAI Vereniging, Didi Cobussen, Andreas Ligtvoet, Inge van der Kraan, Christine Swinkels, Anna Paar, Danielle van den Berg, Nadieh van Kesteren, Nicole de Boer, Marc Hendrikse

Don't be fooled by EU jargon, the recent European Commission proposal for measuring the carbon footprint of (car) batteries is a massive step forward! This means one common methodology in the EU to assess how clean batteries are (e.g. amount of renewable electricity used during manufacturing). Eventually it will lead to carbon footprint limits (i.e. the battery carbon footprint needs to be below a certain threshoild if you want to put it on the market). This will have a massive positive impact on electric cars. With the ETS we are cleaning the grid making the electricity we use to charge clean. This new battery carbon footprint methodology/limits is another piece of the puzzle to make EVs as sustainable as possible!

Shell inaugurated its first self-developed megawatt charger for dual use by both electric trucks and shipping vessels at the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam . The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/eQb5CR4S “We want to help decarbonise our customers in the logistics sector,” says Hilmar Van Den Dool, General Manager eMobility at Shell. “In addition to our investments in biofuels and LNG, we also invest in electric mobility. There are not that many electric trucks and vessels yet, so with this we're investing ahead of the market that is growing quickly." Melissa Williams President at Shell Marine adds: “the megawatt charger also offers the flexibility to charge a wide range of inland and port vessels such as barges, tugboats, service vessels and ferries. I'm excited at how the technology is now available, and deployed.” More News At Workboat365.com Subscribe To The Workboat365 LinkedIn Weekly News https://lnkd.in/eMY2JUnT #propulsionsystems #propulsion #shipbuilding #commercialmarine #maritimeindustry #maritime #marine #marineindustry
