De waterstofeconomie krijgt volop aandacht in Nederland, met grote industriële maatwerkafspraken en internationale handelsverdragen. Tegelijkertijd groeit de bezorgdheid over de klimaatrisico's van waterstofemissies, vooral wanneer waterstof in de atmosfeer terechtkomt. Experts benadrukken het belang van verder onderzoek naar deze emissies en hun impact op het klimaat. Hoewel er behoefte is aan verbeterde meetapparatuur, is er al een lijst van do's en don'ts opgesteld om waterstof vanaf het begin klimaatbewust te implementeren en zo de energietransitie te ondersteunen zonder klimaatvoordelen te verliezen.

Agroforestry is a land management system integrating trees with crops or livestock, and it is emerging as a potent climate mitigation tool for enhancing carbon sequestration. The carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry rivals or even exceeds that of traditional afforestation or forest ecosystems, according to recent studies. Agroforestry is thus gaining renewed attention, but for it to be more widely adopted, we must better understand how it works, and the environmental benefits it brings.

Op 19 juni 2024 organiseerde de Sustainable Scale-Up Foundation een bijeenkomst over de klimaatimpact van waterstof, waarin experts de risico's van waterstofemissies en hun effecten op klimaatverandering bespraken. Belangrijke onderwerpen waren de noodzaak van nauwkeurige monitoring en beleid om de klimaatvoordelen van waterstof te waarborgen.

While hydrogen developments are in full swing, there is increasing scientific attention to the climate risks of hydrogen emissions. This necessitates a careful examination of the scientifically proven benefits and drawbacks of hydrogen, without dampening our enthusiasm for the energy transition. A crucial question is: how do we ensure a hydrogen economy that minimises negative climate impacts?

Terwijl de waterstof ontwikkelingen in volle gang zijn, is er in de wetenschap steeds meer aandacht voor de klimaatrisico’s van waterstofemissies. Dit vraagt ons om, zonder het enthousiasme voor de energietransitie te verliezen, goed te kijken naar de wetenschappelijk aangetoonde voor- en nadelen van waterstof. Een belangrijke vraag is: hoe zorgen we voor een waterstofeconomie waarin de negatieve effecten op het klimaat zo klein mogelijk zijn?

The demand for electricity in Europe is increasing. To a certain extent this is a positive sign – it is a result of the energy transition being in full swing. However, European countries are struggling to keep pace with this growing demand, which is leading to grid congestion and difficulties in connecting renewable energy sources like wind and solar parks. In other words, the power grid is becoming overloaded due to limited capacity, and this of course comes with challenges for electricity generators, consumers, businesses, and most of all for the grid operators – the ones responsible not only for connecting every house and company to the grid, but also for balancing supply and demand. Join us as we explore what this means and what can be done.

Approximately 192 million Indonesians lack access to safe water, while 14 million lack access to proper sanitation. In a recent interview with Henry Pohan Simangunsong, we delved into the critical issue of clean drinking water access in Indonesia and what he’s doing about it as an impact entrepreneur.

We are thrilled to announce that we are launching the Ideas From Europe Podcast. We will feature interviews with inspiring individuals and impact entrepreneurs; spotlight crucial innovation topics and impactful solutions that aim to make a difference.

Tune in to listen to Rita Prota and Ahmed Khalil discuss the revolutionary potential of lab digitisation.

As we face issues as big and important as climate change, poverty and social inequality, we need more companies to be driven by a passion to make a positive impact on the world. This is what impact entrepreneurship is all about: using business principles to tackle social and environmental problems.

Inspired by psychological research, this blog explores the psychological barriers that innovators may face when scaling up sustainable innovations, from the idea creation process to aligning stakeholder values and finding clients.

Sometimes we also need to take a step back, and ask ourselves: is our energy transition really worth the destruction of valuable natural spaces?

Join us in the interview with Sonja van Meerbeek and Martin Spitholt from the Ideas From Europe Executive Board, where we dive into the story of IFE, and why their approach to innovation is so essential for tackling our sustainability challenges of today.

In an interview, we caught up with Andro Vos, a pioneer in the fields of forensics and wildlife preservation, and founder of the Wildlife Forensic Academy (WFA).
