A week ago, I participated in a panel discussion at Dagens Industri conference about the electricity market of the future. The panel discussion was about how the electrification of the society is to be financed. As we all know, the electrification is crucial for the decarbonisation. That is why its so important to find financing solutions now! The design of the Nordic electricity market as a whole, including both grids and new supply, and the financing solutions must be competitive in a global context. There must be long term predictability to attract capital from lenders and investors at competitive cost level. I had a very interesting discussion on these topics with Åsa Pettersson, Johan Lindehag, Jessica Krook ♦️ and mårten einarsson

Wouldn't it be great with an open source and easy to use 'energy grid simulator' that could calculate the claims below? Being able to easily share the assumptions behind the numbers being thrown would qualify the discussion a lot. I agree with the statements here but I would have liked to back that claim up with a link to a techno economic simulation that shows it. If you know of any such simulator, please share!

Glocal Green and Norwegian Hydrogen team up on large-scale bio-e-methanol production In Norway, Glocal Green and Norwegian Hydrogen have entered into a collaboration agreement on large-scale production of what is also known as bio-e-methanol. While Glocal Green is focusing on the possibilities within bio-methanol as its contribution to the green shift, Norwegian Hydrogen is a company that is producing and building an infrastructure for green hydrogen. The two companies have now come together and identified a very exciting collaboration project. Glocal Green will produce bio-methanol based on biological waste and residual industrial raw materials that can also be used as fuel for internal combustion engines, and as a hydrogen carrier for fuel cells. According to Dag Nikolai Ryste, CEO of Glocal Green, this is a value chain that can become 100% circular, and the company is now planning production on a large scale. The size of the facilities may vary, but Glocal Green believes that the optimal size is about 100,000 metric tons of annual production per facility. This corresponds to a raw material requirement per facility of approx. 80,000 tons of biomass and up to approx. 10,000 tons of green hydrogen. The combination allows every energy substance in the biomass to be utilized and transited in a very efficient way. https://bit.ly/3RiPnsN #methanol #futurefuel #efuel #maritime #energytransition #marine #alternativefuel

Friday must read... 📰💡 The #energy consumption of data and #AI is often addressed negatively in connection our largest societal challenges #climate, #energy and #decarbonization. As stated by my colleague Arild Bjørkedal in Computerworld Norway the real challenge is the knowledge gap around #digitalization. Data is key to decarbonize and in #EnergyEfficiency. Starting right now datacenters becomes energy producers and even climate positive.

”Sweden needs a quick buildout of the electricity system- now” Strong message from Tobias Hansson, Hitachi Energy Marcus Hedblom, Ovako Group, Henrik Henriksson H2 Green Steel, Hans Kreisel, Nordion Energi and Ulf Larsson, SCA. I fully agree. Sweden needs around 10 Twh more production per year coming decades in order to support the industry’s green transition, and to keep and attract investments and job growth in Sweden. And, just as we at Ørsted agrue in our white paper, there is no conflict between pushing for offshore wind and other RES and nuclear. We will need both, and the industries need the power now- not in ten years. https://lnkd.in/dgse24mK

Very important perspectives in the current media witch hunt from Harald Mix. Is Sweden and Europe to small to enable new business and the green transition? I fight for this transition every day the same as my Northvolt colleagues and fellow green transition companies. I hope we get more champions and support from and within Sweden and the European Union. I believe in Sweden, Europe and a more sustainable future 🔋💪 https://lnkd.in/dVUC62bU

Interesting speach by the Danish Minister of Energy and Climate at DI Energi today about energy infrastructure and related cost and risk of integrating hydrogen and fluctuating energy like wind and solar. I miss in the energy debate what the real value of baseload non fluctuating energy production like osmotic energy is?

Interesting discussions about positive sustainable lifestyle that aims to close the gap between climate awareness and individual action and data that has been gathered from eight European countries. Finns are actually doing quite well already with many things. It is good to remember that even small things can add up to a much bigger thing when many do them. My next action is to pay more attention to consuming as well as repair and recycle more the usual paper, plastics, glas, metals… #sustainability #lifestyle #action

Norwegian duo reveals plans for hydrogen and bio-methanol production Norwegian companies Norwegian Hydrogen and MI member Glocal Green have entered into a concrete cooperation agreement for the development and establishment of hydrogen production in connection with Glocal Green’s planned bio-methanol plant in Øyer in Gudbrandsdalen. The deal is based on the dialogue the two companies have had since they entered into a letter of intent two years ago, Norwegian Hydrogen said, adding that the hydrogen production will be organized into a separate jointly owned company. Dag Nikolai Ryste, CEO of Glocal Green, stated: “A two-year study and dialogue between us have today resulted in a joint commitment to hydrogen production in connection with Glocal Green’s methanol production units. It has crystallized into a clear win-win model between the parties, and in addition, this efficiency will benefit all other parties along this holistic value chain, and not least the market.” According to Norwegian Hydrogen, bio-methanol will be produced from low-grade biological residual materials and by-products from forestry, agriculture, and the marine sector, and by adding hydrogen in the production process, “all the green carbon is utilized, resulting in a volumetric doubling of methanol production.” This methanol, with added hydrogen, is termed bio-e-methanol. https://bit.ly/3KCp5h9 #methanol #efuel #energy #energytransition #futurefuel #cleanfuel #alternativefuel #marine #maritime

🌟 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.

Energy is and should be at the forefront of European decarbonisation Henrik Tegnér Tegner and I wrote an opinion piece for Dagens Industri on what truly needs to happen for Sweden and Europe as a whole to reach its decarbonisation goals. In summary, our mains points are on: 1.       Policy: Setting clear directions and sector-specific strategies to phase out fossil fuels. 2.       Financing: Utilizing financial incentives effectively and reducing costs, for example through a global carbon price. 3.       Innovation: Scaling up existing technologies and driving down costs for solutions like hydrogen and offshore wind power. At this week’s Nordic Business Forum, Mario Draghi essentially made the same remarks. His points from the recent Draghi report, emphasised the need for effective policies, increased investment and innovation to ensure Europe’s competitiveness. So we all have some homework to do. The decision-makers across all levels in Europe to make the tough calls to truly decarbonise our energy systems, for the industry to make those investments into new technologies and decarbonisation solutions and for us in the industry to make them cost-effective and innovative. We're committed - hope you are as well. As a side note – I don’t think there has been a more interesting time to be working in the energy field – everyone’s finally talking about energy!
