Renewables weren’t to blame for the 2025 Iberian blackout — and history repeats itself.

They’re often the scapegoat:
- 2016 South Australia: blackout blamed on wind, but storms hit the power lines
- 2021 Texas blackout: frozen turbines blamed, but gas supply failed

(Article: Le Soir, May 10 2025)

Still blocked in the train, but apparently generators in the northern and southern zones of the peninsula are progressively re-synchronized to the grid

Complete blackout in Spain, Portugal, and apparently a part of France!

I have been blocked in a train for the last half an hour without any information

Where is hydrogen needed most for EU decarbonization?

In this paper, we prioritize hydrogen end-uses at various increasing emission reduction targets:
-50%:Ammonia production
-75% Long-range freight
-90% chemical industry and steel production
Net zero: synthetic fuels (e.g. for aviation)

What comes to mind when thinking about the energy transition?

🌞 For most, it’s about renewables
♻️ Some think about energy efficiency
❗ But almost no one considers reducing demands

In our latest Nature Communication, we explore #EnergySufficiency to reach climate goals!
