Introduction

The image of wind-turbines working along with large-scale PV plants is the first thing that comes to our mind, when we hear the term Energy Transition. In recent times, there has also been a focus on decarbonising the transport sector with electric vehicles powered by solar […]

Introduction to my research

My research mainly focuses on the modeling of investments and policies for a future low-carbon electricity system with the integration of large-scale variable renewable energy (VRE) for the North Sea Region. According to the EU Roadmap 2050, the power sector is expected to mitigate nearly all its […]

Renewable advanced biofuels and their role in the energy system

Advanced biofuels are liquid fuels for transport produced from certain feedstock that meet sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission criteria. These can be lignocellulosic feedstocks (i.e. agricultural and forestry residues), non-food crops (i.e. grasses, miscanthus, algae), or industrial waste and residue […]

From 11-14 May the ENSYSTRA project hosted its first online Workshop, organised by University of Stavanger. The topic of this Workshop was ‘Future Sustainable Energy Systems: Technology and Innovation for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy’. The week was packed with interesting presentations but also workshops concerning fundraising and grant writing, […]

In this blog post, I will introduce my research in the ENSYSTRA project and my experiences so far.

About my research

ENSYSTRA project comprises 15 Ph.D. fellows studying the energy transition in an interdisciplinary way (divided into four work packages). I am part of the WP 2 – technologies and development pathways, […]

Citizens’ empowerment and participation are seen as strategic to meeting the EU’s energy targets [1]. In line with this, the new EU Renewable Energy Directive and Electricity Market Directive include definitions for “renewable energy communities” and “citizen energy […]
