Decentralised RE solutions and the integration of e-mobility as key elements of a net-zero policy?
“While it is widely understood, that the transition towards net-zero requires fundamental changes and developments in the areas of (renewable) energy generation, -distribution and consumption, the specific pathways towards net-zero are subject to a much wider debate. Key questions of that debate are, to what level can decentralised renewable energy (RE) generation contribute to net-zero, to which level is it desirable and what are the enablers for more decentralised RE generation from a grid-, policy- and consumer perspective. These questions are accompanied by the discussion of how can EV-infrastructure be integrated into decentralised energy generation on household level and for public spaces and how is the potential for EVs to support storage and demand-management technically and practically. As the current debate on net-zero is often focused on large MW RE projects as cornerstones of the transition, decentralised RE generation and the role of the consumer becoming a pro-sumer seems to be less in the focus of the public debate. The panel discussion is focused on debating some of these questions from an industry and research standpoint among a group of experienced panellists with substantial experience in the field.“
