When will we get the heat pump thermostats we need?
It was a dark and stormy night. In a house near Denver, Colorado, the indoor temperature dropped below 68℉, and the thermostat activated the heating system. This particular heating system combined both a heat pump and a natural gas furnace into a configuration known as a dual-fuel system, which is gaining traction as an archetype for inexpensively electrifying existing homes. This home was..

Energy in Brazil: the lack of DR
Energy in Brazil: the lack of DR The energy sector solutions that have been discovered and implemented in the developed world derive from an identified characteristic: the need to be more efficient. A simple and obvious finding: enabling demand reduction at peak times – compensating those who adhere, is much more efficient and cheaper than simply doing the traditional, which is..

The Norwegian Government’s hydrogen strategy
The Norwegian Government’s hydrogen strategy Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source. Just like other energy carriers such as petrol, electricity and district heating, hydrogen must be produced from an energy source. These production processes require energy and involve energy losses. This makes hydrogen more expensive than the direct use of energy carriers, for example..
