I enjoyed talking with Kevin Van Geem and Elina Nauha on the topic of high temperature heat in the industry.
Great discussions on the roles of electrons and molecules to help not just decarbonise but rather defossilise our industry!

@Laveyne_J @JDSchoolmeester Wij kiezen dat niet Johannes, de EU heeft daar een zeer goed uitgewerkte methodologie voor, update de lijst elke 3 jaar. Als je wilt, we hebben een doctoraat en wat thesisstudenten op de topic om die aan te passen naar kritisch voor de energietransitie... https://t.co/pPxCiL6qOp

Rising silver prices drive China’s Longi shift to copper-metallized solar cells https://t.co/oKLR09U58o - great news! It started. Solar PV based on abundant materials without silver.

Nu al het tv-moment van het jaar. #DeDagVanVandaag #VoorDeBelastingen @VRT

[Jan Mertens @_JanMertens]

@MichaelEWebber @acranberg @ENGIEgroup The @steelanol project indeed required EU funding but most first pilots/demo's do, even with lower energy costs than we have in the EU... Interesting visits though and very relevant for our new emerging sustainable technologies document we publish in 2 weeks...

[Christian Breyer 🦣 @ChristianOnRE]

Hard-to-abate segments in the energy transition require electricity-based e-methanol in large quantities. Transport costs could be a key factor in determining the best locations for future green e-methanol projects.
