INTEC Energy Solutions’ Post

I am very happy to announce that EDP has entered into a strategic partnership with DRAXTON Mobility Inspired, a leading global company focused on manufacturing and commercializing mechanized cast iron components and highly engineered aluminum for commercial and passenger vehicles. The iron and steel industry is one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize due to its high demand for heat. The industry uses a vast amount of energy to transform raw materials into vital goods with a wide variety of end-uses. Industrial emissions are considered hard to abate because the sector typically requires medium to high temperature heat. Our partnership is initially centered around promoting sustainability and innovation through the implementation of photovoltaic power projects in Draxton's plants located in Europe and Asia totalling a capacity of over 14MWp. The estimated annual production in the four Spanish Draxton plants will be equivalent to the average electricity consumption of around 3,000 homes every year, avoiding the yearly emission of more than 3,000 tons of CO2. It has been a pleasure to partner with DRAXTON Mobility Inspired and we are looking forward to delivering on results through which we can make future projects grow. A special thank you to Alberto Hernández Téllez and Francisco Carrillo Andrés from DRAXTON Mobility Inspired for your trust for this good challenge we are facing. This partnership is in perfect sync with EDP strategic plan for the 2023-2026 period, in which the company plans to make investments worth 25 billion euros aimed at accelerating the deployment of renewable energies, improving the electricity system's flexibility, and designing innovative solutions for its customers. This ambitious plan will contribute notably to EDP's goal of reaching 100% green energy by 2030.

As we work toward our regional and indeed national and global net zero targets, one the of key foci will be the development of a combination of alternative, renewable and sustainable sources of power and energy. Within this framework is also the need for development of new cleaner, greener sources of propulsion for both public and personal transport. And with targets ever approaching, the drive for innovation to address these challenges becomes greater. For the second of the #CleanFutures networking events and first in a series of on-site ‘Fast Track’ workshops at BCIMO, both aspects were on the agenda. The morning began within a context of ‘Power & Energy’, with a talk from Maisum Renewable Energy Ltd, on the rollout of renewables in the region, and a subsequent discussion on the real issues facing SMEs as they transition away from carbon and endeavour to develop a range of clean tech solutions. It was followed by an indepth session on the core topic of #FutureFuels – one of key industry challenges highlighted within the Clean Futures programme – both discussed and debated via a range of both academic and industry speakers, including from Coventry University, Connected Places Catapult, Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE) and Hypermotive. Issues raised included the essential business case for alternative fuel sources across transport sectors, yet the practicalities in ensuring research and development, funding and support, infrastructure and skills.

Today, the German parliament voted to include #AirborneWindEnergy in the Renewable Energy Act (EEG). This is an immense proof of the potential behind our technology and for everybody working on it. This is a huge milestone for us, and we couldn't be happier! 🙌 Similar to the effect the integration of conventional wind turbines and PV back in the days, this will the boost the airborne wind energy industry, de-risk investments, and accelerate the development of the wind energy systems of the 21st century. 🚀 You can read all about it in the press release from Airborne Wind Europe below! 📖 This will boost the energy transition and help us make our vision a reality! Let's do this! ⚡ #Sustainability #NetZero #WindEnergy

Exceptional news👇 Airborne wind energy incentives approved in Germany - will mature the industry and elevate the potential for renewables. If you plan to build wind capasity the next ten years, you can’t afford to overlook airborne wind energy. You will first lose bids to those who don’t, and when you get up to date you will not have access and still lose 😉 Who will take the lead? RWE and ENGIE was present at #Awec2024, the Chineese sent a big delegation, Toyota Motor Corporation showed strength with their mothership project headed by EIJI ITAKURA and the list continues. There are airplane makers involved, large distributed energy suppliers, both diesel and PV, and very tangible outcomes from the event. A warning to Norwegian politicians, the train has started moving, you will either be on or lose it, exit tax or not 😉 How can we take lead in a new and important industry that emerges? Alfred Bjørlo, Per Vidar Kjølmoen , Linda Monsen Merkesdal, Sigrun Aasland Bjørn Kjærand Haugland Hadia Tajik Lars Haltbrekken Tina Bru Andreas Bjelland Eriksen. And Håkon Haugli - you’re welcome to get involved 😉💨🪁

Great to see this progressive step. I argued in a white paper for Airborne Wind Europe that now is the time for intensive Government support to rapidly determine how much of its considerable potential Airborne Wind Energy can realise. Airborne Wind Europe Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
