Euroopan sähköjärjestelmää on epävakauttanut alhaisempi maakaasun tarjonta, säähän sidotut uusiutuvan energian tuotantomuodot ja sähkön kysynnän kasvu taloustilanteen elpyessä. Samanaikainen teollisuuden, liikenteen sekä rakennuksien sähköistyminen on johtanut sähkön kriisiytymiseen. Nyt vaaditaan yhteistyötä ja kollektiivisia toimia niin tutkimukselta, teollisuudelta kuin liike-elämältä. Aamiaistapahtumassa keskustelivat Tampereen yliopiston Climate Neutral Energy Systems and Society -tutkimusalustan (CNESS) tutkijat sekä muut energia-alan asiantuntijat yrityksistä ja yhtieisöistä.

Electrification of the industry, transport and buildings • Lower natural gas supply volumes • Weather-dependent power production from renewables • Rising demand driven by economic rebound…

Several factors distress the European power system. Electricity is in crisis. Collective actions from research, industry and business are crucial in finding sustainable solutions. Join us for breakfast and discussions. Build networks and cooperation with key researchers from Tampere University’s Climate Neutral Energy Systems and Society (CNESS) research platform and other energy experts!
