📰🌍🚀 #Industry is hard to defossilize due to high energy needs, nonstop operations, and process emissions. #Hydrogen role may be overestimated, while solar #PV - being cheapest - could enable broad #electrification. @christianonre.bsky.social @lut.fi www.pv-magazine.com/2025/09/12/s...

A few days ago there was a nice milestone: 100 podcasts on research articles in my team! www.youtube.com/@ChristianOnRE and growing ... right now with 82 subscribers - pls feel free to join. Thx to all the many coworkers within the team & all around the world. Marius, special thx!

🔥New research on bifacial solar #PV modelling and power system impact. No game changer, but still valuable addition to the technology portfolio. @lut.fi

The most annoying part of being a researcher: Investing hours in adapting research proposals (for paying your own salary) to specific requirements and layouts of funders over and over again, so that a REVIEWER can kill it because he/she doesn‘t like it (w/o getting reviewer reports after rejection)🤦🏻‍♂️

"huge solar PV demand for Africa ahead" - that's what we find since year. The energy system solution for Africa is largely PV+battery as the core & most important backbone. Additional articles would be these ones: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... ; www.cell.com/joule/fullte... ; doi.org/10.1016/j.eg...

😎☀️Well this is good news! There is a huge potential ahead for Africa 🌍 (and South Asia): doi.org/10.1016/j.so... @christianonre.bsky.social

#Trump climate report has so many misleading information and false claims that it takes forever to read the entire #factcheck. @carbonbrief.org, well done 👍🏻

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT ☀️🍃⚡️ Over one year ago our study on the Seychelles introducing a new EnergyPLAN-based optimisation tool was published. Check it out (it‘s #OpenAccess) 👇🏻

📰🌍🚀 Wave power shows strong potential as a renewable source, especially for coastal and island regions. Complementary to solar PV worldwide, it could support hybrid systems. Islands may gain the most from combining wave power with solar PV. @lut.fi @christianonre.bsky.social

📰🌍🚀 The role of solar PV in Indonesia will extend; it will also include the production of e-fuels for hard-to-abate segments as alternative to land-intensive biofuel production. Various scenarios show the cost-competitiveness of solar PV in Indonesia’s renewable energy transition.

Cost-competitiveness for green hydrogen using intermittent renewable energy sources remains a significant challenge. Researchers have shown that considerable cost reductions can be achieved by optimizing plant control and design based on specific hydrogen demand targets and local weather conditions.

1/ New research @lut.fi @dominikkeiner.bsky.social doi.org/10.1088/1748... presents a quantification of the portfolio-wide area intensity for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) integrated in an energy-industry system.

📰🌍🚀 To address the variability of renewable energy for a stable supply, 22 distinct types of flexibility options are found in 100% renewable energy systems research articles, categorized into power-to-X, energy storage, demand response, transmission and distribution grids, and curtailment. @lut.fi

📰🌍🚀 The WEO @iea.org has been a report on energy statistics and guiding future energy supply and demand developments. An examination of these reports indicates that even the progressive WEO scenarios vastly underestimate the growth of #RE, especially PV. @christianonre.bsky.social shorturl.at/YnORe

📰🌍🚀 The Caribbean stands to benefit from low-cost renewable energy solutions driving a clean energy transition. With solar PV as the cornerstone technology, the region is poised to transition to a solar-to-X Economy to achieve carbon neutrality. @christianonre.bsky.social shorturl.at/LmNom

In den vergangenen Tagen gab es Messerangriffe in Bremen, Lübeck, Ratingen, Erfurt, mehrere in Dortmund und in Berlin. Teilweise mit Toten, mit Schusswechsel mit der Polizei, willkürliche Opfer. Von keinem hast du wahrscheinlich gehört. Rate mal, warum. www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/mani...

📰🌍🚀 Hard-to-abate segments in the energy transition require electricity-based e-methanol in large quantities. The transport costs could be a key factor in determining the best locations for future green e-methanol projects. @christianonre.bsky.social www.pv-magazine.com/2025/02/11/t...

Here's a dye called Nile blue. It doesn't take much to stop a great deal of visible light from passing through. CO₂ acts in a different part of the spectrum (infra-red rather than visible), but basically does a similar thing.

What is causing the atmospheric CO2 concentration to growth (light blue bars)? It is all the fossil CO2 emissions (brown) we dump into the atmosphere (a little LUC too), with the land (green) & ocean (dark blue) sinks struggling to keep up. More figures: robbieandrew.github.io/GCB2024/

Söder konfrontierte Habeck mit einigen Vorwürfen zur Atomkraft. Dieser konterte unter großem Beifall aus dem Netz mit vielen Fakten. Wir haben Habecks Aussagen einem Faktencheck unterzogen: Er hat fast komplett Recht. www.volksverpetzer.de/faktencheck/...

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) wird ein wichtiges Instrument zur Einhaltung des 1,5 Grad Ziels sein, aber nur weil wir bereits mehr CO2 ausgestoßen haben als wir dürften und zur Komp. von Industrie. Deshalb brauchen wir netto negative Emissionen. Fossiles CCS aus zB Gaskraftwerken ist KEINE Lösung.
