Energy decarbonisation

Energia Solară. Un potențial care trebuie valorificat ca România să-și atingă țintele de decarbonizare.

În ciuda progreselor recente, rămân o serie de provocări în ceea ce privește creșterea capcității de energie solară în România. Cele mai importante dintre acestea sunt constrângerile legate de capacitatea rețelei și dezechilibrele cu care se confruntă prosumatorii, lipsa predictibilității calendarului de implementare a fondurilor UE și întârzierile în transpunerea legislației UE. Abordarea acestor provocări este esențială pentru accelerarea adoptării energiei solare. Pentru a valorifica pe deplin potențialul energiei solare și a asigura un sector energetic robust și sustenabil, recomandăm:

Navigating the Transition to Renewables in Eastern Europe

This paper assesses the current situation of the renewable energy market in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) along with the inherent technical and economic challenges posed by the rapid deployment of renewable capacities.

The interplay between energy poverty and energy security within the energy trilemmaframework

This research paper draws on the framework of the energy trilemma (security, poverty and sustainability) to explore both the conceptual kinship and the practical implications of the relationship between energy security and energy poverty.

Renewable Energy Sources in the Ukrainian Electricity Mix – Opportunities and Challenges

Ukraine’s electric mix is one of the most carbon intensive in Europe. The majority of the country’s electricity is produced by outdated, inefficient thermal and nuclear power plants, whose fuelling is subject to geopolitical pressure.

Carbon capture and storage – the Gordian knot of decarbonization in Central and Eastern Europe

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) refers to a chain of technologies deployed to capture, transport and store CO2 away from the atmosphere, mitigating its warming effect on the climate. For each step in the CCS process, a range of technologies has been developed and tested for different industries and operating conditions, making CCS a complex value chain rather than a single, “off-the-shelf” technology as it is sometimes portrayed.

Is Maritime Transport the Achille’s Heel of the Paris Agreement?

Maritime shipping is the backbone of the international economy, accounting for more than 90% of world trade. This critical economic weight has recently been illustrated by the Suez Canal blockade of March 2021, which caused major supply chain disruptions on a global scale.

Will Hydrogen Take up Natural Gas’ Role in the Energy Mix?

Natural gas is at the heart of a heated debate within the European Union (EU) over whether it should be included in the EU’s taxonomy classifying green investments. Some member states consider its development necessary in order to limit the social and economic costs of their energy transition.

Is Green Finance Doing Enough for the Energy Transition?

On July 16, 2019, then-candidate to the presidency of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen published a series of political guidelines, stating “we need to tap into private investment by putting green and sustainable financing at the heart of our investment chain and financial system.

Can Europe’s Electric Grid Handle Renewable Energy-Intensive Electric Mixes?

In January 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and RTE, French transmission system operator (TSO), published a study concerning the technical feasibility of a power system with a high share of renewables in France towards 2050.

Just Transition of Coal Regions: A Cross-Case Analysis of Chile and Romania

The European Green Deal marks a turning point for energy and climate policy in Europe. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for the EU as a whole will require an overhaul of the way energy is produced and used, across all sectors and regions. In this context, the coal industry is among the first targeted by policymakers: primarily used in power generation and in industrial processes, coal is a highly carbon intensive energy source, accounting for 31% EU ETS emissions in 2019.
