Neo-Carbon Food concept: A pilot-scale hybrid biological-inorganic system with direct air capture of carbon dioxide

Vesa Ruuskanen et al.

Summary: The rapid growth of human population is causing concerns about food security, while conventional agriculture is contributing to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Edible microbial biomass is seen as a promising alternative with lower environmental impact for boosting food production. The Neo-Carbon Food concept introduces a hybrid biological-inorganic process for microbial biomass production, utilizing hydrogen production, direct air capture of CO2, and assimilation by hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.

Power-to-X in Denmark: An Analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats

Iva Ridjan Skov et al.

Summary: The study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) of Power-to-X technology in the Danish context, with a focus on external factors such as the policy framework. The analysis indicated that external factors are more important for the success of P2X technology, with academic experts placing emphasis on strengths and practitioners on opportunities. Establishing Denmark as a P2X knowledge hub could be a key enabler for the success of Power-to-X technology in the Danish energy system.

Impacts of innovation on renewable energy technology cost reductions

A. Elia et al.

Summary: This paper addresses the complexity of multiple drivers of energy technology cost reduction trends and finds that quantification of these drivers remains a challenge. Despite the popularity of one-factor learning curves, the development of multi-factor learning curve models and bottom-up cost models is still in its early stages.

Tightening EU ETS targets in line with the European Green Deal: Impacts on the decarbonization of the EU power sector

Robert C. Pietzcker et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of tighter EU ETS targets on the power sector, finding that the transformation would accelerate with renewable energy leading the shift, coal phased out by 2030, and zero electricity generation emissions by 2040. Carbon prices within the EU ETS would triple, reducing power sector emissions by 54% compared to the current target, with only a 5% increase in total discounted power system costs. Various sensitivities were tested, showing that increased electricity demand and restrictions on transmission expansion could impact the transition.

Business model innovation in demand response firms: Beyond the niche-regime dichotomy

S. Ruggiero et al.

Summary: The study reveals that companies in the energy and information and communications technology sectors are driven by different factors in business model innovation. Technology start-ups and companies from adjacent industries are mainly motivated by entrepreneurial opportunities, while incumbent energy companies are more concerned about the threat of losing existing customers and the need to increase efficiency.

Large-vscale hydrogen production and storage technologies: Current status and future directions

A. G. Olabi et al.

Summary: Hydrogen has been identified as the most promising carrier of clean energy in the efforts to replace fossil fuels. Hydrogen generation technologies play a key role in the energy mix and integrating them with other renewable energy systems is becoming increasingly feasible. While progress has been made in large-scale production and storage of hydrogen, local conditions and multiple strategies may be needed to achieve significant production and storage.

The 'end of the world' vs. the 'end of the month': understanding social resistance to sustainability transition agendas, a lesson from the Yellow Vests in France

Mathilde Martin et al.

Summary: The Yellow Vests movement disrupts global climate mitigation solutions and highlights cultural and economic constraints in providing social justice in the age of climate change. This qualitative exploration reveals the importance of framing and cultural analyses in understanding resistance, showing how the movement contests the universal resolve of the Paris Conference and sustainability discourse.
