Speech title "Resilient and Fully Decarbonized Smart Renewable Energy Systems"
Abstract-This presentation focusses on how societies can design
and achieve resilient and fully decarbonization energy systems based
on renewable energy. The presentation addresses a set of methods and
criteria to design Smart Energy Systems, while considering the
context of 100% renewable energy on a national level. Countries
should handle locally what concerns local demands, and at the same
time acknowledge the international context when discussing resources
and industrial and transport demands. Following such approach will
also lead to a resilient energy solution. To illustrate the method,
it is applied to the cases of Denmark and European within the
context of a global fully decarbonized energy system.
The goals of the Danish Government supported by the Danish
Parliament is to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions by 70% in 2030 and
to achieve a net zero emission society by 2050. Moreover, due to the
war in Ukraine, there is also a strong wish for a resilient energy
supply. This presentation includes a list of theoretical and
methodological considerations as well as a concrete proposal on how
such targets can be implemented. It is highlighted that already now
one must think beyond 2030 to prepare for the next step to achieve a
full decarbonization by 2040 or 2050. It is also highlighted that a
country such as Denmark must consider how to include its share of
international shipping and aviation as well as how to design a
solution with Denmark’s share of sustainable biomass resources.
Moreover, the presentation includes the results of detailed hourly
modelling of the EU “A Clean Planet” scenarios for a fully
decarbonized Europe in 2050 and compare it to a “smart energy
systems” alternative. The case illustrates how the focus on a fully
sector-coupling as expressed in a smart energy systems approach will
lead to higher energy efficiency and the identification of a more
affordable green transition in Europe.
