Electric Vehicles - The Norwegian way

Ben Backwell, CEO of the Global Wind Energy Council, highlights the extraordinary growth in the wind industry globally, and how an industry that was once seen as niche and expensive has been transformed into one that is both mainstream and cost-effective.In this enlightening episode, Ben reveals the advances in technology that have helped to establish wind as a credible alternative to fossil fuels. He also describes how those same technologies have enabled a ‘full system approach’ where wind, solar and hydro complement each other to counteract the challenges traditionally associated with variable energy sources. He outlines why, how and where other renewable sources can work best alongside wind in this way, reducing the need for storage and the reliance on fossil fuel baselines in energy grids. However, he cautions that much of the world, including the Asia Pacific region, has a great deal to do before the infrastructure and regulations needed to support this ‘complementarity’ are in place. *This episode was recorded live at the Singapore International Energy Week 2018.

Whilst renewables continue to gain a significant position in the energy market, gas remains the predominant energy source for the immediate future. DNV talks to Tim Rockell, Director of Global Energy Institute, KPMG, and Sharad Somani, Partner in Global Infrastructure Advisory, KPMG about how gas and renewables can co-exist, and the challenges faced in financing these projects in the future.In this multi-faceted episode, Tim and Sharad discuss the new approaches being adopted to secure funding for energy projects. They share with us which types of institutions will be the predominant source of funding; how the investments can be structured to maximize yields and the challenges faced in securing funding for coal and gas projects. With the delicate balance between renewable and traditional energy sources in mind, Tim and Sharad also share their views on why coal and gas projects still have a clear role to play, and how these sources will inevitably co-exist alongside renewables in the future.  *This episode was recorded live at the Singapore International Energy Week 2017.

FACE THE FACTS: The climate change puzzle

With the increasing importance of renewable energy, grids must deal with the variability and intermittency of renewables generation. DNV talks to Paul Gardner, Segment Director - Storage at DNV, on the ongoing developments ensuring that storage solutions can support the growing energy demand.   Our Energy Transition Outlook 2017 report concluded that the electricity demand will rise by 140% by 2050, and of this, 72% will be generated by renewables. However, with this transition comes challenges on output consistency. In this insightful interview, Paul gives an overview of the current solutions that will support and optimize renewable energy in the future, with a focus on storage. He explains the different options available; their most appropriate usage; and considers why some available storage technologies may no longer remain efficient in the future. Finally, as cost is often at the forefront of power generation discussions, Paul addresses what can be done to lower the cost of storage in the future . *This episode was recorded live at the Singapore International Energy Week 2017.
