Eine Welt ohne Gasinfrastruktur? In unserer neuen Studie zeigen wir, dass sich fast die gesamte Energienachfrage in Europa mit Elektrifizierung und Methanol decken lässt – ohne die Komplexität einer großflächigen Wasserstoffwirtschaft. www.pv-magazine.de/2026/05/15/e...

Eine Welt ohne Gasinfrastruktur: Elektrifizierung mit Methanol für den Rest

A world without gas infrastructure? If we aggressively electrify the economy, green methanol could cover most of the remaining non-electric demand - without needing large-scale hydrogen or methane networks. New paper in Joule: "A Minimal Methanol Backstop for High Electrification Scenarios"

As the hydrogen bubble deflates, what are the alternatives? We present a "minimal methanol economy": using methanol as a gap-filler for the few sectors electrification can't reach. New working paper together with Philipp Glaum, @fneum.bsky.social, @millinger.bsky.social: arxiv.org/abs/2505.09277

Policy Brief ¦ Biomass exclusion must be weighed against benefits of carbon supply in European energy system. @millinger.bsky.social

New research by @millinger.bsky.social and team highlights the primary value of biomass use under stringent emissions targets to be as a renewable carbon source for chemicals, fuels and negative emissions. https://bit.ly/40N6qIg

Diversity of biomass usage pathways to achieve emissions targets in the European energy system - Nature Energy

This study examines trade-offs of varying biomass use in the energy system under stringent emissions targets, finding its primary value as a renewable carbon source for chemicals, fuels and negative emissions rather than as an energy carrier.
