Electrification: The Main Road to Carbon Neutrality

Overview: The Presentation will try to show how we can reach the carbon neutrality of the energy system by electrifying as much as possible the energy services society needs. The energy flows into EU27 will be discussed and the different energy services will be analysed with regard to their potential of being electrified. The challenges for the electricity system and the technology providers will be shown. Different paths for the hard to electrify application are shown, including the potential role for hydrogen.
