@nworbmot.bsky.social is doing really important stuff again, simulating how methanol (instead of hydrogen) could be the fuel to power a system otherwise mainly running on solar, wind and batteries. SUPER interesting paper.

Green energy and steel imports reduce Europe’s net-zero infrastructure needs - Nature Communications
This study examines cost reductions, volumes, & vectors of green energy imports to Europe, showing diminishing returns at higher volumes and a preference for methanol, steel and hydrogen imports.

It really was a fascinating conversation. He's very good on Russia and decarbonisation, and stood his ground when I pushed him pretty hard on energy costs and hydrogen.

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:

New work from Hofmann and colleagues shows how hydrogen and carbon dioxide networks influence whether CO2 is transported to renewable hubs and sequestration sites, or H2 is delivered to industrial sites for producing clean fuels from captured CO2.

This study on European carbon management shows how H2 and CO2 networks influence whether CO2 is transported to renewable hubs and sequestration sites or H2 is delivered to industrial sites for producing clean fuels from captured CO2.

Vorschlag: Anstatt die Übertragungsnetze dauerhaft zu subventionieren, lieber kosteneffizienter bauen und ein Teil der Kosten mit einem Amortisationskonto um ein paar Jahre verschieben

Nach unserer Berechnung kann man mit kluger Planung etwa 92 Mrd. EUR (einen ,,Wumms'') sparen
