Survey of 1,994 business leaders across 18 countries:
90% believe "transitioning to a renewables-based electricity system in their country is likely to boost economic growth"
88% believe "electrifying their operations will make their business more competitive."
90% expect to electrify operations by 2035, 73% by 2030.
A landmark global survey of business executives across 18 countries shows overwhelming support for a rapid transition to electrified economies run predominantly on renewables-based electricity.

Dass das heutige Stromnetz jetzt schon an die 90% Erneuerbare verträgt, lässt sich gut am heutigen Tag erkennen.
Einfach weiter EE ausbauen, dann erhöht sich automatisch deren Anteil.
Mit Netzausbau und Batteriespeichern sind dann 100% möglich.
Together with UC Berkeley we are announcing the laser phase plate - a breakthrough in atomic resolution imaging. This is the brightest continuous wave laser in the world, 100 million times the intensity of the surface of the sun.
Phase contrast plays an important role in microscopy, but it was thought close to impossible for electron microscopy, where it would require interfering with an electron beam. Holger Mueller and Robert Glaeser proposed exactly this using a standing wave laser. It has taken over 15 years to make this a reality. Biohub partnered with UC Berkeley and Mueller to support this work and to engineer and build the technology.
Contrast has been the critical barrier to achieving atomic resolution imaging of the cell. In cryo-electron tomography, a cellular imaging technology that uses electron microscopy, the low contrast makes it impossible to resolve anything but the largest proteins within their cellular context. The laser phase plate removes that barrier.
With advances in AI this breakthrough in contrast will start to open up a new frontier in structural biology, that will allow us to see the molecular machines of the cell, and how they assemble into far more complex and dynamic systems, and understand how they work.
Das Bremer Untenehmen #Towergy entwickelt #Großwärmepumpen als sog. #Klimatürme. Die Turmform der bis zu 14m hohen Anlagen soll die Aufstellungsfläche minimieren.
Bei einer Leistung von bis zu 1,5 MW (th) können damit große städtische Wohnanlagen...

In Laufenburg (Kanton Aargau, Schweiz) entsteht der derzeit größte unterirdische Redox-Flow-Batteriespeicher der Welt. Mit einer geplanten Systemleistung von über 1,2 GW und einer Kapazität von mehr als 1,6 GWh (im finalen Ausbau über 2,1 GWh) soll der Riesenstromspeicher am historisch bedeutenden „Stern von Laufenburg“ innerhalb von Millisekunden Regelleistung bereitstellen, um kritische Frequenzschwankungen im europäischen Verbundnetz auszugleichen.

EE und Speicher verändern das Energiesystem fundamental. Der Prozess ist längst im Gang. Deshalb ist der Widerstand so heftig. Es wird Verlierer geben. Sie haben rechtzeitig willfährige Politikerinnen und Politiker installiert. Das wird die Entwicklung bremsen, aber nicht stoppen
@miriam_vollmer@schnellenbachj Genau, die Kostenentwicklung von PV und Batterien folgt der gleichen Logik wie die von Halbleiterchips.
In zehn Jahren sind Energiekosten kein Thema mehr.
Australia, where household energy bills are to fall 10% from 1 July 2026, is executing an industrial slaughter of legacy gas peakers
>In 1st quarter of 2026, battery systems tripled their daytime-to-evening energy shifting compared to last year. Batteries surged 1,115 MW of clean power into the evening peak, hitting a record discharge of 3,556 MW
>Batteries became the grid's primary price-setting mechanism, dictating terms in 32% of all trading intervals
>Gas-powered generation collapsed to its lowest quarterly average since 1999 (dropping to an average of just 712 MW). It's in terminal structural decline
>Average wholesale electricity spot prices plummeted by 12% y-on-y to AU$73/MWh
>In Victoria, wholesale prices crashed by 28% to an average of just AU$43/MWh
>Four million households and businesses are now generating free power, acting as the biggest power plant in the country
>One in every 25 homes has a battery today, with 415,000 active residential storage systems
>Because of this unstoppable wave of clean energy and storage, residents in Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia will receive 100% free electricity from 11:00am to 2:00pm starting next month
>Australia’s battery capacity additions surged by nearly 8 GW in a single year, a nine-fold increase. Utility-scale systems skyrocketed to 4.2 GW, while behind-the-meter household storage hit 3.4 GW
>Battery storage now commands a massive 18% of all installed dispatchable capacity in Australia (China is at 7%, the US at 5%, and Europe at 4%
Storing free solar during the day and dumping it into the evening peak has permanently flattened the daily price curve, bringing down forward electricity contract prices and passing the savings directly to consumers
Every solar + battery is a national security shield
