A scientist's opinion: interview with Sabine Fuss on removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Sabine Fuss is an economist and head of research department at the Potsdam Institute of Climate Research Impact. To start, there are multiple ways to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, and several terms are often used: carbon dioxide removal (CDR), carbon capture utilisation and storage... -
Can e-fuels power Europe's low carbon future?
In the spirit of technological neutrality, Europe is exploring multiple pathways to decarbonisation. Among them are e-fuels, whose chemical composition is identical to that of fossil fuels but are produced through synthetic processes rather than extracted and refined. This makes them a potential low-carbon... -
Interview with Corentin Boillet: 'effects of e-fuels becoming more significant only in the long term'
Corentin Boillet is an analyst at Enerdata. He has 5 years of experience in the energy sector and benefits from a broad scientific background in this field. Within Enerdata, he has participated in different assignments on grid flexibility, storage systems, PV, and synthetic fuel. What do we mean... -
A scientist’s opinion: interview with Prof. Stephanie Wehner on the quantum internet
“The EU now faces a critical choice: continue to lead this transformation, or risk becoming dependent on others for this foundational technology," says computer scientist and quantum physicist Stephanie Wehner. She is Professor in quantum information at Delft University (the Netherlands) and Director... -
Is Europe ready for the quantum internet?
With its unique physical properties, quantum-transmitted data is impossible to eavesdrop on. The EU is at a critical juncture in the development of this groundbreaking technology, with major efforts underway to build the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure. As other regions and countries, such... -
A scientist’s opinion: interview with Prof. Angela Sara Cacciapuoti on the quantum internet
“The quantum internet is not just the next-generation communication network, it is a revolution. By using the weird and counter-intuitive laws of quantum mechanics, it enables a form of information sharing fundamentally impossible in today’s internet.” These are the words of Angela Sara Cacciapuoti,...
