Energy Technologies Europe commits itself to provide and further develop technologies, helping European energy conversion to be carbon neutral well before 2050. We will accelerate the achievement of the EU’s decarbonisation goals by enabling other sectors such as industry, transport, heating and cooling to reach zero emissions.

Currently the electricity system relies for approximately 50% on thermal energy. Thermal generation needs to reach carbon neutrality, fast.

Currently power plants produce electricity, heat and cold on demand providing affordable and dispatchable energy when needed, thereby stabilising the grid.

The Energy Hub: Carbon Neutral well before 2050
The Road Ahead
13
- Energy Hub: the place where the production, conversion, storage and consumption of different
energy carriers takes place
- The Energy Hub will mostly convert excess renewable electricity to heat and cold and synthetic
fuels, and periodically generate electricity, heat and cold, stabilising the grid and decarbonising
- ther sectors
- Resource utilisation will be limited
- It can either be big and centralised or small and decentralised, depending on the demand and
capability of the energy grids
- Its input and output mix allows the Energy Hub of the future to be a key flexibility mechanism
- Carbon looping and carbon feedstock will be enabled by CCUS
- The result will be a more sustainable European energy system, a competitive industry, job
creation and maintenance and exportable technologies

The economics of the Energy Hub
The Road Ahead
14
- Using existing infrastructure and assets, preventing high investment cost
- E.g. networks: electricity, gas and fuel distribution
- E.g. power generation: combined cycle gas plant, CHP plants
- More variable renewables will increase the periods of low or negative electricity
prices, making heat, cold and molecule production more affordable (Power to X)
- Fuel flexibility allows for switching based on the cost of the specific resource
- An increasing carbon price makes CCU/S more competitive
- However, demonstration projects are needed
- Wide scale deployment will lead to more cost effective solutions

Energy Hub of the Future: Key benefits
The Road Ahead
15
- Offsetting fossil fuels
- Grid balancing
- More RES electricity use
- Input flexibility
- Energy storage
- Using synergies of existing assets and infrastructure (e.g. gas and
electricity infrastructure come together in existing power plants)
- Synthetic fuels production and usage
- Sectoral integration
- Job creation
