Nature Energy published a Focus issue on Cross-field lessons in energy research. The issue highlights shared challenges across energy technologies and how insights from one area can drive progress in another.

Cross-field lessons in energy research

Energy technologies may differ in how they operate and what they aim to achieve, yet many challenges recur across different subfields of energy research.

Sharing our @natureenergy.bsky.social research on renewables and price volatility, with @lauradiazanadon.bsky.social . Despite weather variability, more renewables result in more stable prices, particularly because they do lower the dependence on natural gas. Here: www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...

Electricity prices across Europe to stabilise if 2030 targets for renewable energy are met

National targets for solar and wind power will see reliance on natural gas plummet, reducing electricity price volatility across Europe, with major
