The Need for Clean Flexibility in Europe’s Electricity System
Towards 2050, the electrification of large sectors of the economy will significantly increase electricity demand. Higher electricity demand coupled with high shares of variable generation –notably from wind and sun– will increase the need for flexible and dispatchable loads, including flexible generation running on climate-neutral gases. In the study The Need for Clean Flexibility in […]

Long-term Flexibility and Security of Supply: Why Hydrogen must Take the Leading Role
The energy crisis affecting Europe calls for an accelerated paradigm shift in the power sector. The way forward urges for a fast decarbonisation, one freeing Europe from Russian gas and relying to a great extent on renewable supply sources. Nevertheless, this corresponds to a system with low amounts of dispatchable, or steerable, power generation. A […]
