Can Europe Be Carbon Neutral Through Sequestration?

A new study suggests a massive scale up of the tech would be needed

IEEE Spectrum
@petermidgley The transmission losses and infrastructure cost have to be weighed against comparative cost advantages of the sunnier and windier regions of Europe / the World.
A European hydrogen network could reduce the need for power-grid expansion in net-zero energy system: study

Public opposition to new overhead transmission lines may necessitate repurposing of gas pipelines, say academics

Energiewende auch ohne Netzausbau möglich, aber nicht so lukrativ

Forschende haben durchgerechnet, wie viel Einsparung verschiedene Ausbau-Varianten des Energienetzes in Europa bringen. Und fast nebenbei entdeckt: Es geht sogar ohne, wird aber unterm Strich nicht so günstig.

Current+announced transformation vs. modelled-need-to-be , have a look:

Not a lot of green. And those green indicators are misleading (0/0 t H2 for example or announced DRI projects by 2030)

@vattuvarg Yes, I am aware of the projects posted on https://www.h2inframap.eu/. Seems to be similar.

Model also builds some pipelines there.

There's a lot more detail in the paper on the role of flexible electrolyser operation, seasonal storage, carbon management (sequestration, power-to-X, DAC, capture of industry emissions), biomass heating systems, waste heat, etc., so download the paper with SI:

Final caveat: To orchestrate dispatch and capacity increase locally around grid bottlenecks, it's essential to have local price signals. Our model operates EVs and heat pumps flexibly, which requires smart meters and dynamic tariffs to incentivise grid-supporting behaviour.

Our results underline the need for strengthened integrated planning between countries and energy sectors, similar to how the process for the TYNDP has moved towards joint planning in recent times.

TYNDP 2022 Scenario Report – Introduction and Executive Summary

The draft joint TYNDP 2022 scenario report is the building block of the future gas and electricity TYNDPs and contains a series of important highlights for the future of Europe’s energy system. ENTSO-E and ENTSOG have capture the impact energy transition on electricity and gas infrastructure.
