There are two powerful forces at work in the Global #EnergyTransformation; 1/ The rapid migration from the #BaseloadParadigm to the “#BatteriesAreTheGrid de-facto architecture and 2/ Consumer #EnergyIndependence via #RooftopSolar (and local #BESS) - #CommunitySolar solutions. Both forces are #virtuous and have changed #EnergyModels forever. @RenewEconomyRSSFeed

Today was workshop day for me at the #OpenMod2024!

I introduced the #openmodelling community to different #justice concepts as well as the indicators and methods that can translate it to our #energymodels. For that, I presented a literature review I am working on with Jonathan Hanto, Alexandra Krumm and Luisa Cordoch, and showed them a preliminary web app on our study results. Then the participants had time to develop own paper ideas. The results are documented here: https://lnkd.in/dvatHCWT

I am happy to be at the #openmod2024 this week! Together with many other researchers and Marie-Claire Gering and Sarah Berendes of the @RL_Institut, we discuss current work on #opensource #energymodels. Today I pitched my workshop "How can we include (energy) justice into our models?", which will take place tomorrow afternoon. You will find results here: https://forum.openmod.org/t/how-do-we-get-energy-justice-into-our-models/4523
Thank you for the great work in organizing Etienne Cuisinier, the orga team and CRESYM and Open Energy Transition!

How do we get (Energy) Justice into our Models?

genre: break‑out‑group title: How do we get (Energy) Justice into our Models? presenter: @mhoffmann description: In previous openmod workshops people exchanged on including societal factors and critical thinking into our research. This time, we want to explore how we can look at issues of justice with our models. For this, we bring the results of a literature review we are currently finalizing, and introduce you to model integration, methods, and indicators. We combine this input session with d...

Will nuclear fusion play a key role in #ClimateChange mitigation?

My colleague here at UBC, MV Ramana, certainly doesn't think so.

Also interesting for Taco from SFU to note fusion doesn't even enter into the energy models most people use, which is definitely indicative of how energy system analysts think about its viability in the short-to-medium term.

Is nuclear fusion a viable path to clean energy — or a speculative 'distraction?'

Fusion, the forcing of hydrogen atoms together under enough pressure to fuse, is the reaction that powers the sun. Read more.
