How the EnergyFutures project dares to be different
Shifting to the 3i-Mindset:
INVERSION, INTEGRATION, INNOVATION
INVERSION
Starting with the required functionalities, we investigate options on the whole energy value chain up to primary energy
What’s new
- The full cascade of the energy value chain
- The focus on energy related functionalities
- The reversal of the analysis by starting with functionalities
INTEGRATION
Harvesting synergies by linking all components of the energy system serving for application, transformation and storage.
What’s new
- The traditional separation between providers and users of energy is becoming blurred
INNOVATION
All components of the energy system will face disruptive technologies with a high potential for innovative changes.
What’s new
- Innovative potentials of all elements are analyzed
- New (decentralized) structures are identified
- This will require new business models
How the EnergyFutures Model helps fathoming future energy systems
Evaluating radical innovations along the energy value chain
What’s new
- A prerequisite for reducing 80% of fossils is halving the energy flows without compromising functionalities
- This can be achieved by radical innovations along the energy value chain
