- Event 9 June 2020 Webinar: A Nordic carbon-neutral energy system enabled by flexibility and storage Carbon-neutral electricity is the main challenge since it will be the primary future energy carrier for heating, transportation and other energy needs. Soon fossil fuel-based power plants will be substituted by renewables such as wind and solar. Thus, new storage solutions - activated by the smart grids and enabled by linkages with the heat or mobility sectors - will become central flexibility assets. However, their direct participation in balancing competes with other, centralised flexibility…
