Low electricity prices are a prerequisite for high levels of electrification.

There are no high electrification regions with high electricity prices.

Great chart from RMI.

Chris Baraniuk has been on a quest to find the biggest heat pump-powered projects in Great Britain.

Here's what he found. A fun and inspiring read.👇

The six phases of renewable energy integration:

The IEA lays out the typical challenges and examples of how various countries have addressed them in their excellent report.

There are already several examples of countries entering the high phases (4-6).

Did you know that heat pumps are good for your health?

Replacing oil and gas boilers eliminates in-home fossil-fuel combustion that vents pollutants like ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide into the outside air.

🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESS: Electrification offers a major opportunity to cut emissions & improve efficiency in industrial processes.

In this new World Economic Forum report we set out what role businesses & governments can play to drive industrial electrification.👇

Electrification is the key lever to decarbonise industry.

But why is take-up so low (3-4%) when it comes to process heat?

It’s because of the many barriers standing in the way. Here’s how we can break through them.

One chart, many stories. Predicted renewable energy deployment vs actual deployment.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow@mastodon.energy · Dec 16, 2024

Only a few years ago there were almost no electric vehicles being sold.

This year China is approaching 50% share of electric vehicles in total sales.

But Europe is not doing too badly either with 25% outperforming the US.

Which places have the highest share of electricity from wind and solar?

Denmark is leading the charge. New graphic from RMI.

The markets for electric vehicles developed at very different speeds in Europe.

Norway has long been known as a leader but look at Denmark and Belgium!

Cost of electricity relative to fossil fuels is key factor when it comes to industrial electrification.

In most EU countries electricity is taxed more & renewable energy support levies are often put on electricity & not on fossil fuels.

There is a huge amount of ambient and waste heat available.

Using it with heat pumps in buildings and industry is multiple times more efficient than burning fossil fuels.

It makes the problem we try to solve significantly smaller and allows us to use free pre-existing heat.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow@mastodon.energy · Dec 11, 2024

Industrial process heat contributes about 1/5 to Europe's carbon emissions.

<5% is currently electrified even though the potential is >90%.

How can we move from potential to implementation?

NEW RECORD: 2024 is the first year in history when wind, solar and hydropower generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the UK.

Costa Rica is widely regarded as a global leader in renewable energy.

The country generates over 99% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily hydropower, complemented mainly by wind and geothermal energy.

The battle for the biggest heat pump:

Finland currently builds the world’s largest air source heat pump with a capacity of 33 MW - about 4,000x bigger in capacity terms than an average domestic heat pump.
