Decarbonization: A Path to Enhanced Global Energy Security | Geekoo

A Stanford University study finds that transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources enhances energy security for most countries by reducing dependence on imports and diversifying supply chains.

@Eka_FOOF_A batteries and solar would certainly help, but it's not a panacea, and I think given the scale of the increased demand as we decarbonise, the grid IS going to need reinforcing.

Home solar is great, I'm putting panels up myself.

Batteries are great, even without solar they let you cycle loads away from peak hours.

But it's just not going to replace the grid. The increased demand for electricity from the transition to low carbon tech is going to be immense, and lots of it will have to be met by large scale centralised generation, like the scheme in the article.

I could run through the numbers for a typical house if you or anyone else is interested.

I’m weirdly obsessed with #HVAC. Carrier announced a complete air-to-water #heatpump system earlier this year. It does heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. I did not expect them to bring it to market so quickly, but it’s no longer a press release: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/heat-pumps/33nm3/ #hydronics #decarbonization

The 33NM3 air-to-water heat pump system provides an energy efficient and sustainable complete heating, cooling and domestic hot water solution.

EDITORIAL | It's Crunch Time for Osaka Expo Promotion

The countdown to the official opening of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, is on. It passed the six-month mark on October 13. Onsite construction work on facilities at the venue is proceeding at a rapid pace. And the symbolic Osaka Expo 'Grand Ring' has already been completed. It is one of the world's largest wooden structures, with a circumference of approximately two kilometers. However, completion of the international pavilions, which are supposed to be designed and built by participating countries, remains behind schedule. The Japan Association for the 2015 World Exposition, which is preparing and managing the expo, has called
