“We need to drive electrification in the EU. We are badly lagging behind China but we have done the hard work over the last 20 years to make really rapid electrification possible.”
Electrification offers a viable path towards decarbonisation. If processes can be switched up to run on electrons, then renewable power generation can be hooked up to a wide range of previously polluting industries and sectors.
Big leaps forward in terms of what can be electrified but also how much of the economy can be electrified have been made but more progress is needed. More clean power sources, more electricity network infrastructure and more investment are all, of course, crucial.
“Without question, electrification is the single lever that will deliver us the furthest along the lines for our 2040 targets. There’s no question.”
Joining Sam on this episode of the Policy Dispatch is Adrian Hiel, director of the Electrification Alliance, a group that advocates for electricity to play a crucial role in decarbonising Europe’s economy.
Adrian shares his view on why getting more cheap electrons into the European energy system is only a good thing, what needs to be done to turbocharge that process and why electrification might only be gradual at first, but ultimately will happen at pace.
Enjoy the show!
