Every day, thousands of trucks, ships, and trains move goods across Italy, powering industries and supply chains. But there’s a hidden cost—freight transport accounts for 36% of transport-related CO₂ emissions in Europe. Despite digital advancements, the sector still struggles with wasted energy, inefficient routes, and underutilized transport modes. The solution isn’t just moving faster—it’s moving…
High-temperature heat pumps are becoming an increasingly important technology for decarbonizing industrial processes. One of the latest advancements in this field is the development of oil-free, high-temperature heat pumps. This topic we are going to explore in today’s interview with Khalid, PhD candidate at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His work focuses on…
Welcome to the first installment of our four-part newsletter series, The Geopolitical Influence of Hydrogen. Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore how hydrogen is reshaping international relations, energy security, and trade. In today’s edition, we examine hydrogen’s growing role in energy diplomacy, its potential to replace natural gas, and its impact on industrial and…
Reducing our carbon footprint while staying economically on top is one of the main challenges of our time. There are solutions available: Wind and solar energy offer cheap and clean energy; electric cars can help to restore the air quality in our cities. Yet renewable energies are intermittent in nature, and electric cars are expensive….
Renewable energy is booming, but there’s an often-overlooked challenge standing in the way: our aging power grids. While solar panels and wind farms are expanding at record speed, the real bottleneck isn’t energy generation—it’s transmission. In 2025, governments and grid operators around the world are rolling out massive infrastructure upgrades to ensure electricity remains reliable,…
The green energy transition is moving forward. Usually, we talk on this blog about more technology-oriented questions such as: How can we improve battery technology? How do we recycle wind turbine blades? How can we make our manufacturing systems more efficient? However, none of these projects just happen with a finger snip. Financing is needed…
Delivery services are performing at an all-time high and are still growing: In the EU, home delivery is expected to reach a 30% share of all retail sales by 2030. With a growing transportation market, a central challenge arise: How manage urban delivery in a cost-effective while maintain a low carbon footprint? In today’s interview…
A huge part of the Green Energy Transition revolves around how we can reduce the carbon footprint of energy production, e.g., by moving towards wind, solar, or nuclear energy. On the other hand, we can also go greener by saving energy. This does not always mean that we need to give something up, but that…
The energy market is a complex organism from various points of view: On the engineering side, the electrical grid always needs to be kept in balance. The transition towards green energy not only needs new innovations in wind, solar or battery technology, but these innovations need to be implemented in the running system. Then, there…
Ever since the breakthrough of ChatGPT, we cannot imagine a world without AI applications. While the most popular ones are directly interfering with us humans – a chatbot talking like customer support, Midjourney creating images like an artist – the implications are much bigger: AI can help us boost automation to a never-experienced level and…
