An energy transition based on confusing legislation and high European targets. How is the country moving towards respecting the PNIEC objectives? Great intentions and still few measures, definitely a great challenge and a race against time. Renewable energy, such as wind and solar, is now accepted as reliable and highly cost competitive in markets all over [...]
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is ever more relevant. Every year fewer allowances are available, the long-term price trend is upwards (despite the recent drops), and the incentive to replace CO2 intensive production techniques for less intensive ones becomes stronger every time. However, more and more countries do not seem to want to rely solely [...]
We are immersed in a process of paradigm change where the energy transition to a sustainable model is no longer an option. To this end, various energy policies have been carried out with greater or lesser success to establish the objectives for the energy future of the country / region. However, many renewable energy technologies are [...]
Blockchain? It's been a while since this technology first associated with cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (BTC) (if you still don't know the basics of this technology, here we explain it in detail) is no longer sounding like Chinese in the renewable energy sector. Looking back exactly to 2016 according to a World Economic Forum report, wind and [...]

So, in the premiere of its competition, the corporation has decided to open the Pandora's box of the sector. The proposed [...]
What is a PPA A PPA for its initials in English Power Purchase Agreement, is a long-term clean energy purchase agreement from a specific asset and a fixed price, for a specified volume and time horizon. You can tell between a developer and a marketer or between a renewable developer and an end consumer, in this [...]
The new fashion in the electricity sector has the acronym GdO: Guarantees of Origins. A few months ago, Magnus told you the meaning of these certificates: verifying that the energy consumed by large industrial companies comes entirely from renewable sources. But if all the energy generated is mixed in the electricity grid, how can we certify [...]
After Spain, Italy and Portugal it is now the turn of the Netherlands to feature in the Magnus Blog with its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). Like other countries, the NECP of The Netherlands sets out the ambitions for 2030 and describes the measures that will be taken in the period 2021 – 2030 to [...]
In the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), the objective is to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 20% in 2030 compared to levels recorded in 1990, which represents a reduction of more than 30%. % regarding the levels registered now. For this, it is proposed to transform the energy mix, among [...]
In absolute terms, China is now the world’s largest greenhouse-gas emitter, accounting for more than 25% of the global total. Even in per capita terms, it has just overtaken the European Union average, while still at only half the US level. This reflects an electricity system based 70% on coal, as well as China’s global leadership [...]
