The power sector is changing!
Climate and energy security concerns are drivers for a quick transformation towards a largely renewable power sector. In the past years several visions of a fully decarbonised power sector have been produced, but no one has developed a pathway on how to realise those visions.
The report "100% renewable electricity. Roadmap to 2050 for Europe and North Africa"co-authored with with colleagues from PricewaterhouseCoupers, IIASA, ECF and PIK suggests for the first time a policy roadmap to 2050.
In an effort to reconcile the several approaches to renewable energy sources I have developed in 2007 the SuperSmart Grid Concept. Information can be found on the web page by clicking the SSG logo.
In the same spirit, more recently, I have facilitated the setting up of the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI). For the first time Transmission System Operators (TSO) and NGOs come together in support of a full integration of renewable energy sources in the European power system. Information is available on the RGI web page.
In 2006, together with colleagues at PIK I have founded TheCompensators* to provide individuals with the possibility to participate in the ETS and contribute to emissions reduction.
