1/ 🚚🔌🔋⚡💧⛽ How to de-fossilize #trucks#batteries#hydrogen#efuels? We just published a new paper🧪, focusing on how these alternative options would interact with a future electricity sector with a high share of variable renewables. Let me share few insights in a little 🧵🔽

Power sector effects of alternative options for de-fossilizing heavy-duty vehicles—Go electric, and charge smartly

Various options are discussed to de-fossilize heavy-duty vehicles, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), electric road systems (ERS), and indire…

2/ Our paper in a nutshell: We investigate the power sector implications of alternative options for de-fossilizing heavy-duty trucks in future scenarios for 🇩🇪, using an open-source capacity expansion model (with the cool German name DIETER) and route-based truck traffic data.
