Aalborg Forsyning today inaugurated a 150 MW new electric boiler in Norbis Park. Smart #electrification in practice includes #districtheating E-boilers, thermal storage, heat pumps, surplus heat = flexibility, >fossil dependence, better system integration aalborgforsyning.dk/artikelliste...
The 2026 Research.com rankings are out, and three of us from @aau.dk's Sustainable Energy Planning Research Group are among the leading researchers in Denmark in Engineering & Technology. Henrik Lund at #4, me at #18, and Poul Alberg Østergaard at #32.
For three decades, the Danish Economic Councils kept giving the same advice on #ClimatePolicy: use a uniform carbon tax, and avoid targeted support for green industries. Denmark’s actual #windpower development tells a differen story! #IndustrialPolicy doi.org/10.1093/ser/...

The New Danish government wants fast oil/gas boiler exit by 2035. It's energy security, electrification, infrastructure + consumer protection. Better municipal heat plans Support: -gas homes waiting for district heating -vulnerable households District heat expansion Potential state heat transmission
Brian Vad Mathiesen@brianvad.bsky.social · 2mo ago1/4 The new Danish Government presents a new foundation for the energy transition. Energy is still at the centre of Danish politics - now also as security policy, competitiveness policy, infrastructure policy, industrial policy and cost-of-living policy.
The New Danish Government's grid focuses • Better use of existing capacity • Targeted expansion of transmission/distribution • Co-location of renewable energy and energy-intensive consumption • Regulation supporting storage and flexible demand • Faster approval • Lower costs

Action is making a difference. But not nearly enough. The old worst-case climate scenario (8.5 C) has been pushed out of the CMIP7 because it is less plausible. Why? wind + solar expanded rapidly EVs helped slow growth coal expansion less plausible www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...
1/5 Europe is finally starting to align one of the hardest parts of the hydrogen story: support, demand and infrastructure. Germany’s €1.3 billion support for renewable hydrogen production in Denmark is therefore not just another subsidy - its new market design - inovation market design.
Vi har brug for en kulturforandring i vores opfattelse af elnettet. Fremtidens elsystem kan ikke drives med gårsdagens logik. Det største problem i elnetdebatten lige nu er ikke kun mangel på kobber. Det er mangel på fleksibilitet i måden, vi tænker adgang til nettet på. 👇🏼
1/2 Odsherred-sagen handler ikke kun om drift/effektivitet. Forsyninger med naturligt monopol hviler på to ben af tillid: - at prisen ikke bare kan skrues op - at ejerskab og beslutninger ikke flytter langt væk fra borgerne

1/2 An interesting graph - but also one that can be misread. It makes many people think the answer is simply to copy Norway or Sweden in the electrification pathway. I do not think that is the right lesson. Do not copy Norway and Sweden one-to-one.
Solar is no longer just “the future”. In 2025 it overtook wind globally and moved to within touching distance of nuclear. The big question now is no longer whether solar is central to the power system, but whether grids, storage, flexibility and electrification can keep up. ⚡️ @ember-energy.org
Forty years ago, Chernobyl became one of my first real TV memories. I was a child then - about the same age as my own children are now. I remember the reactor, the radioactive cloud over Scandinavia, and the feeling that something very far away had suddenly become very close. 1/4

The most important thing about the new #greenammonia facility in Ramme is not X-to-Power🌱 The real significance is that it demonstrates dynamic, load-following ammonia production directly from variable wind/solar power -and crucially without hydrogen storage. 1/3 #PtX #PowerToX
A positive and timely discussion with Dan Jørgensen on Europe’s energy future. The new EU direction is encouraging: short-term relief and long-term structural change must go hand in hand. Structural change now needs to start with electricity grid tariffs. @ec.europa.eu 1/4
Can the EU support businesses without losing the path to climate neutrality and European competitiveness? The @EU_Commission appears to be preparing a broader response that includes cheaper public transport, support for heat pumps, solar.. 👇
EU’s energy problem is bigger than one fuel, one route, or one crisis. Since 1973 several shocks has hit. And the dependency has changed from Soviet to Russia to now the middle East and North America. The structural issue is import dependency. In 2025, the EU’s energy import dependency was ~60%. 👇
Europe’s energy warning has just become more serious. Over the past 48 hours, @ec.europa.eu Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen has warned that Europe must prepare for a “long-lasting” energy shock in the @financialtimes.com. This is why EU is considering and preparing for all options. 👇
A clear electrification strategy is needed for Europe - focusing on 1) better use of existing grids 2) more renewable energy close to large demands 3) grid expansion and connections 4) focused policies for each electrified industry type and mode of transport - mining ex. below:
Chris Meder@evcurvefuturist.com · 4mo agoChina deployed 100 fully autonomous electric mining trucks (mid-2025)… each running ~500–570 kWh batteries. That’s ~10× a Model Y. In -40°C. Swapping in minutes. Scaling to 10,000+ by 2026. This is the industrialisation of #Bettrification. Diesel doesn’t stand a chance.⚡🔋

There are businesses of the past and of the future - and businesses able to transition. Reuters, 23 March 2026 - @TotalEnergies abandons US offshore wind. The Trump administration will reimburse roughly $1 billion for offshore wind lease fees.. 👇
Heating and cooling accounts for ~half of EU energy consumption, and space and water heating represented ~75% of final household energy use in 2023. Europe is once again exposed to gas-price shocks. Natural gas prices doubling during current Iran events. Report link below👇
Måske den mest alvorlige energikrise hidtil! @fbirol fra @IEA advarede i dag om, at verden nu står i en energikrise, som efter hans vurdering er mere alvorlig end oliekriserne i 1973 + 1979 tilsammen. Samtidig værre for gasmarkedet end chokket efter Ruslands Ukraine-invasion. 👇
