With wind providing about 9% of the grid and solar at 4% (see https://grid.iamkate.com/), while the temperature in my hedge is at 9 ˚C and rising, my heat pump is off for the day. It's true that carbon intensity is below last year's average (194 vs 230 gCO2e/kWh) but I can drop that small bit of demand and see virtually no difference in the temperature over the next 12 hours. #heatpump #demandmanagement

Energy "#DemandManagement" finally arrives.

"The deal will be available to customers signed with the company's energy plan for homes running only on electricity who have #SmartMeters installed. Users also need to register with the company's energy-saving "Kyuden Eco" app once a flash sale is announced the day prior. During the sale's designated hours, users will accumulate points on the PayPay e-payment app matching their energy usage."

The mother of invention LIVES at the margins

"Some communities in remote parts of #Alaska ... have served as #incubators for a wide range of really innovative technologies and strategies that are now gaining popularity in mainstream markets. Examples include #dynamic time-of-use #EnergyPricing, #DemandManagement, #SmartMetering technology, #HeatPumps, #ThermalStorage, and the strategic addition of new loads."

So awesome.

"Cllr Alan Cheevers has asked the Taoiseach and Tanaiste to insist on the Outer Ring Road in Galway, and the Limerick-Cork motorway to be included in the strategy for car free zones"

What drugs are these people taking?

Net-zero aviation: Time for a new business model?
Stefan Gössling, Andreas Humpe (Dec 2022):
In: Journal of Air Transport Management, Volume 107, March 2023 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969699722001727?via%3Dihub

HIGHLIGHTS
🛬 Provides a model for a credible and reliable net-zero pathway.
✈️ Shows that business-as-usual scenarios will deplete remaining carbon budget.
✈️ Argues that CO2-price and 4%/yr−1 drop-in quota necessary for transition.
✈️ Highlights the central role of climate governance in creating markets.
✈️ Concludes that new business model for aviation needed.

"Key transition technologies are in early stages of technology readiness, their scalability is uncertain, and airlines are not profitable. The replacement of fossil fuels will demand drop-in quota legislation at a global scale."

"If the current business model – volume growth with very small profit margins – is continued, it is likely that aviation's contribution to climate change will grow, due to constraints in biofuel production, cost, and an increase in non-CO2 warming. To stay within 1.5 °C warming, the sector has to reassess capacity and its relationship with profitability; and to possibly embrace an altogether different business model."

Saving home energy using open organisation principles – The business opportunities in reducing energy demand

There are (at least) two ways to look at the move to more green power generation: the supply side and the demand side. The supply side emphasizes a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and carbon-free energy. The demand side, however, looks at how to reduce energy use, preferably without hurting the current standard of living.

Imagine two salespeople who sell electricity for a utility company. They decide they don't want to promote or sell electricity use anymore because of its negative environmental and climate change impact. They retire and then decide they want to work together to assemble an Open Organization Community to reduce energy consumption in a way that does not adversely impact people's standard of living. Simply put, they want to consult and collaborate with energy users on reducing waste with the indirect goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuels as an energy source by 2050.

Since globally energy costs seem to be rising in the last few months, I've also been seeing an uptick in interest around better management of home energy use. I did a video recently about using Home Assistant, and mentioned one small example with my system announcing when the hot water is ready for use, thereby saving unnecessary power usage. There are so many other things that be done, and they all add up. Just like the extreme drought facing Cape Town resulted in water usage falling in Cape Town, we'll probably see the same with energy.

Not everyone can program Home Assistant dashboards (even though it is free and open to anyone to attempt to do so), so there will also be fresh opportunities for many to provide this type of service to businesses and homes.

But as I've said before, try and ensure that any system is still under your own control, so that you do not end up being locked out of your system, or locked into a provider. Stick to open standards based devices and software as a minimum requirement.
