How Consumer Demands are Effecting the Transport Sector

The smarter E Podcast Episode 20 | October 01, 2020

Mobility and transport are one of the few sectors in which emissions still grow. This is not due to lacking improvements in vehicle technology, transport infrastructure, and the energy systems – but mainly due to a still growing demand for mobility for both people and goods.

Existing mobility and transport innovation could help curb demand and emissions but this is far from enough. So – What can we do? Jennifer Dungs, Thematic Field Leader Energy for Transport and Mobility, InnoEnergy, tells us what the solutions might look like.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
