The Cleantech Reality Check series continues with a health-check on electrified industrial heat, long duration energy storage, and grids.
Europe routinely speaks about ‘electrificaton’ as if it is happening. But data tells a diferent story: demand is flat – and has been for years. The much-touted electrificaton revolution in Europe is failing to materialise. EU policy makers need to connect the dots between a volatile energy system, squeezed industry, and the clean technology enablers that can provide solutions to both – such as Long Duration Energy Storage to absorb and use these clean electrons at all times, and Thermal Energy Storage to electrify Industrial Heat as flexible demand.
