📢 Energy sovereignty is already feasible with the technologies we have at hand, explain Prof. Joachim Schellnhuber and Juergen P. Kropp in a discussion about their meta-study on European power sovereignty by renewables.  When it comes to new technologies, we must look to innovate, but politicians should not wait until the optimal solution has been found. We do need to further invest in innovation but at the same time we must utilise the existing technology – it is more than enough to leverage our potential for a greener and more independent Europe that does not rely on energy imports.   ➡ Find a summary of the study, commissioned by Aquila Group and led by the PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research here: https://lnkd.in/e5X9W2WU #EnergyTransition #Renewables #EU2030 #ClimateNeutralEU #Research #AquilaGroup 

💡The European Green Deal aims to make the EU climate neutral by 2050. This includes measures in the areas of energy, industry, agriculture and mobility. To achieve our goal, it is essential to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030.     ➡️ The 'Fit for 55' package is essential to operationalise the EU's climate goals and ensure that the necessary policy, regulatory and financial mechanisms are in place to transition to a sustainable and climate neutral future. Moreover, the success of the carbon neutral initiative depends on companies driving innovative solutions. We at Aquila Group are proactively seeking solutions for a sustainable future and are committed to avoid 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2-eq by 2035 over the lifetime of our portfolio.     🙏🏼 We are proud to be leading the way to carbon neutrality through smart investments, innovation and the build-out of clean energy and green infrastructure.    #EuropeanGreenDeal #FitFor55 #ClimateProtection #Sustainability #AquilaGroup 

Aquila Group is proud to share that our data centre business AQ Compute - Data Centers has started construction works on its second data centre complex, located in Barcelona.  After the first site near Oslo commenced commercial operations in February 2024, the company is further expanding its presence in Europe. The new facility is designed as a campus with independent buildings that are powered by renewable energy and combine 60 MW capacity.   We are convinced that data centres need to be as sustainable as possible, powered by clean energies, while providing computing power for the Cloud and energy-intensive AI applications.   Find out more in AQ Compute's press release: https://lnkd.in/ea-5x_xe   #AquilaGroup #AQCompute #datacenters

⚡ Europe can become the first power sovereign continent by 2030.  The meta-study “European Power Sovereignty Through Renewables by 2030” led by researchers from the PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and commissioned by Aquila Group, has found that European power sovereignty is possible until 2030. While power sovereignty would be possible by 2030, preliminary research suggests that independence for the entire energy sector (including sectors such as heating, mobility, etc.) could be achieved by 2040 if appropriate targets are set. Against this background, Prof. Schellnhuber is calling for a swift transition with Europe as a positive example for other continents.

🌍 Advancing the future of clean energy with Battery Storage  As the demand for sustainable energy solutions grows, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a crucial role in balancing grids and optimising renewable energy production. Aquila Group is proudly supporting the energy transition through its subsidiaries Aquila Clean Energy EMEA and Aquila Clean Energy APAC. The integration of renewables into the grid requires storage capacities to balance fluctuating energy production and ensure grid stability. With over 4 GW capacity of BESS development projects across our European IPP alone, we are committed to enhancing the build-out of clean energies while ensuring a stable, green energy supply.  We have summarised our market insights on the topic of battery energy storage systems in a white paper: https://lnkd.in/dR9Mcw43 #RenewableEnergy #BESS #SustainableInvesting #GridStability #AquilaGroup
