CBS Library Forum on “Innovations for a Clean and Sustainable Energy System”

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The energy system, while being one of the main pillars of modern societies, is also one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Transition toward sustainable, resilient, and affordable energy supply is pursued with a mix of solutions, such as:

• deploying renewable energy sources (Christine Brandstätt)
• accelerating hydrogen and green fuels (Johannes Giehl)
• capturing CO2 for utilization and storage (Manuel Llorca)
• and potentially nuclear power (Jens Weibezahn)

Each of these are associated with their own economic, societal, regulatory, and technological issues to ensure their implementation and that businesses can transition smoothly.

In this talk, a group of four researchers from the Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) at the Department of Economics will discuss some key aspects related to these solutions.
