Mer än 1 000 batterier i svenska villor bidrar till ett mer förnybart elsystem
Mer än 1 000 villabatterier bidrar nu på ett nytt sätt till ett mer förnybart elsystem. Nya regler har lett till stora kostnader för marknadsaktörer, särskilt producenter av förnybar el, när de behöver betala för obalanser som orsakas av skillnader mellan prognostiserad och faktiskt produktion och förbrukning av el. Detta har till och med lett till nedstängning av vindkraftverk.

The messages that make people want action on climate change
By Daniel Dickson People around the world want their governments to take action to address climate change. But while overall support is high, it does not always translate into the same level of public backing for specific policies. Good news is that there are messages and framings that can make a significant difference.
The messages that make people want action on climate change
A major global message testing study showed that on average across 23 countries, 78 per cent of people agree with the statement “It is essential that our government does whatever it takes to limit the effects of climate change,” with just over 10 per cent disagreeing.
Why Vattenfall is hosting a conference on climate communication
Together with speakers from media, science, NGOs, and representatives from politics and business, we will explore the topic of how to address the severity of climate change and to inspire to take action, without people losing interest due to the depressing nature of the news. We will do that in the political heart of Europe: Brussels, where climate policies are drafted that affect us all, with online attendance to this hybrid event being free and open for all.
Restoring peatland: From carbon leak to biodiverse carbon sink
By Daniel Dickson Restoration is now well underway, bringing back a richness of biodiversity and halting a source of leaking carbon, protecting the remaining carbon stored in the peat deposits, and, with time, returning these peatlands into a carbon sink. Pen y Cymoedd's 76 turbines in South Wales can produce enough electricity to power 15 per cent of Welsh homes annually. It also holds a 22 MW battery that can store some of the electricity produced at the site.

Eco-anxiety - and how to make it go away
The rise of eco-anxiety, especially among the young, is in many ways similar to the fear of nuclear weapons between the 1950s and mid 1980s, says neuroscientist Kris De Meyer, Director of the UCL Climate Action Unit (CAU) and Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences at London university UCL. “During those periods, we have also had specific generations that were affected by this, similarly not seeing a future, not wanting to have any children, etcetera.

The future of flight: How to make aviation fossil-free
Aviation stands for around 2.5 per cent of the world’s CO2 emissions. And except for a deep dip in the curve during the COVID-19 pandemic, emissions are growing. Aviation along with some other sectors such as shipping and steel are seen as especially hard to decarbonise, or hard-to-abate. But there is some promising progress, both in terms of technical advancements and new regulatory frameworks.
The web of deceit: How false narratives threaten climate action
While climate misinformation and disinformation are not new, the emergence of generative artificial intelligence, exemplified by platforms like ChatGPT, has played a pivotal role. On top of that, the proliferation of fake videos and manipulated speech using deepfake technologies accelerates the spread of climate falsehoods.
why they appeal to wildlife
As the world shifts away from fossil fuels to combat climate change, it is crucial to rapidly increase fossil-free electricity production while also avoiding harm to ecosystems. But can power production actually improve conditions for wildlife? When it comes to offshore wind and marine life, that seems to be the case. Marine life at Lillgrund wind farm.

Another example was the yellow vests protests a few years ago in France. Then, the protesters said a proposed fuel tax unfairly targeted the low and middle classes. Ultimately, the tax was abandoned in response to the protests.
Vattenfall takes major step towards negative emissions in Jordbro
In Jordbro outside Stockholm, Vattenfall plans to have a facility in place by 2028 that will be able to capture up to 150,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the biomass fuelled heat plant. Now Vattenfall is taking an important step by submitting an application for an environmental permit for its first full-scale facility for the creation of negative emissions.
Vattenfall takes major step towards negative emissions in Jordbro
In the combined heat and power plant in Jordbro, biofuels, mainly wood chips and wood waste, are burned to provide residents in nearby municipalities with district heating and to generate electricity. With the new facility, the biogenic carbon dioxide will be captured and then stored in a process known as bio energy carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Negative emissions are achieved by removing the biogenic carbon dioxide that is part of the natural carbon dioxide cycle.
Norway’s Sleipner: Where CO2 has been buried in the rock since 1996
For almost 30 years, Statoil – now Equinor – and partners have been separating CO2 from gas extracted in the Sleipner field and injecting it into the Utsira Sand formation more than 800 meters below the seabed. After being injected in liquid form into the highly porous sandstone, the carbon dioxide is trapped under a shale caprock which acts as roof, sealing and preventing the CO2 from ascending. Because of the depth, pressure and temperature, it stays liquid.
Parking building in new high-tech neighbourhood made using decommissioned wind turbines
Win-win for environment and climate Instead, he plans to use turbine blades from Vattenfall's decommissioned Danish wind park Nørre Økse Sø in the façade to create the curtain walls, or non-structural walls, together with green walls from pollinator-friendly plants. The roof will be covered by solar panels and batteries will store the produced electricity for cars that are typically charged at night.
From blades to buildings
In a new high-tech neighbourhood in Lund in Southern Sweden, turbine blades from a decommissioned wind farm will become a very visible part of the façade of an eco-friendly multistorey car park.

Much like when building an aeroplane, composite materials are used.
Resistance, innovation, improvisation: When governments fell short during COVID-19, long-term care workers stepped up
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified public attention to the importance of front-line workers, specifically in the long-term care (LTC) sector where the virus has struck hardest. Most LTC workers were already operating in challenging conditions before COVID-19. But the pandemic has meant watching people in their care endure sharp declines in health and quality of life, and dying during the outbreaks.

Swedish Centre Party opens way for Lofven to remain PM
By Johan Sennero and Daniel Dickson STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden took a big step towards a new government on Tuesday as the Centre Party said it would consider accepting Social Democrat Stefan Lofven as prime minister if he meets their policy demands, including lower taxes.
