This is how quickly EV adoption is re-shaping new car markets! Get onboard
- Norway ~97%: fully electric new-car market
- Denmark ~69% / Sweden ~61% / Netherlands ~56%: Northern Europe is now structurally EV-led
- China ~53%: Dominates volumes and supply-chain learning effects

District heating is essential for Europe’s heat transition, but bankability is the bottleneck.
Webinar 17 Feb (08:30–09:15): how to make distributed heating & cooling investable at scale, incl. waste heat recovery, planning, and system integration. ⚙️🔥

That flexibility will be #electrolysis, once hydrogen grids are built.
Siloising the electricity and hydrogen sectors makes no sense

Europe is accelerating North Sea and Baltic offshore wind for a simple strategic reason: energy security.
- 9 North Sea countries backing a build-out aligned with the 300 GW by 2050 ambition
- DK–DE burden sharing to advance Bornholm Energy Island + cross-border power 🌬️⚓️

Positioned as a global first: a practical model for cross-border burden + benefit sharing in offshore wind. Bornholm Energy Island (DK–DE) signals
shared costs & upside
- state-backed risk sharing model
- template that can scale to ~100 GW in North Sea countries⚡️🌊
US LNG is now roughly a quarter of EU gas imports, so US cold snaps increasingly transmit into EU prices. Jan 2026 saw Europe’s gas surge ~40% above €40/MWh on cold weather, low storage and tight LNG. Volatility remains the baseline. #Energy #LNG
Fortescue’s 133 MW Nullagine wind farm will use 17 self-lifting Nabrawind towers. Highlights: 188 m hub height + 7.8 MW + 182 m rotor; claimed 15–30% lower total tower cost and 40% lower GHG vs traditional; installable up to 15 m/s winds. #RenewableEnergy

• Convert gas & oil boilers to DH
• Build low-temperature DH
• Integrate large heat pumps & thermal storage
• Recover surplus heat where cost-effective
• Ensure thermal infrastructure evolves in parallel w electricity, Without heat grids, EU cannot capture these resources
👇
Without DH integration, Europe locks in higher heat losses and higher system costs. With integration, digital growth becomes a thermal resource, not a burden.
The agreement aligns with the broader strategy in Heat Roadmap Europe.
👇
• Sector coupling must happen on the ground, not only in policy papers
• Recovered heat reduces fuel use, emissions and peak electricity demand
AI-ready datacentres mean rapidly rising electricity consumption – and large volumes of local waste heat.
👇
It is a textbook example of the Heat Roadmap Europe findings:
• Europe has massive, untapped surplus-heat resources (>2 PWh) • Datacentres are among the fastest-growing sources (up to 200 TWh) • Low-temperature DH is the enabling infrastructure
👇
Surplus heat from atNorth’s new Ballerup datacentre will heat up to 8,000 homes on the outskirts of Copenhagen – and it is exactly the type of solution Heat Roadmap Europe has highlighted for a decade.
👇
Climate-neutral, secure and competitive energy systems, needs EU to treat electricity, hydrogen and heat infrastructure as complementary pillars, not separate silos.
..for system integration, competitiveness, and reducing fossil-fuel imports - EU needs a parallel infrastructure thermal mechanism for heat, similar to PCI.
👇
Large heat pumps, district heating/cooling, thermal storage, and industrial waste-heat recovery are among EU's most cost-effective decarbonisation and energy-efficiency options. Yet they remain outside the TEN-E PCI framework.
Given the scale of heating and cooling demand and their importance..
👇
A major improvement compared to earlier TEN-E cycles, which over-prioritised natural gas w risks locking in higher consumption.
One major gap remains in PCI/PMI: thermal energy infrastructure.
👇
Europe’s security-of-supply challenges is on the electricity side, driven by deep electrification, large onshore/offshore wind deployment.
The emphasis on hydrogen and electrolyser infrastructure also supports industrial decarbonisation and sector coupling - though not without considerable risks.
👇
The new EU PCI/PMI list is an important strategic correction in Europe’s energy infrastructure priorities. But we’re still missing half of the picture: heat.
The stronger focus on electricity transmission, offshore grids, interconnectors, storage and smart grids is essential.

• >70% of e-SAF costs come from electricity for hydrogen

• SOECs improve efficiency via heat integration, but higher CAPEX and shorter stack life still favour alkaline electrolysers today
• In a 2045 100% renewable Danish system, large-scale e-SAF requires major offshore wind and electrolyser rollout – and strict additionality for the power used
👇
• With wind power at ~30 €/MWh + by-product revenues (especially excess heat to district heating), e-SAF can reach ~0.5–1.1 €/L and compete with fossil jet fuel
• Biomass gasification is most energy-efficient but increases biomass demand; point-source CO₂ needs more renewables but less biomass
👇
New open-access paper out in Energy (Elsevier) 🚀
8 hydrogen-based e-SAF pathways for Denmark – from point-source CO₂ and DAC to anaerobic digestion and biomass gasification, using both methanol-to-jet and Fischer–Tropsch routes as assessed.
Key insights 👇
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
