Energy Transition and Efficiency: Progress and Challenges
Location: CY Cergy-Paris Université
Seminar coordinated by Lahoucine ID-KHAJINE from SATIE research center.
Energy transition and energy efficiency are now major challenges in addressing environmental and economic issues. To tackle these challenges, we propose organizing a seminar dedicated to fostering the exchange of expertise and showcasing innovative and emerging solutions to support this transition.
This seminar will focus particularly on the contributions and challenges of electrification and the integration of renewable energy at all scales of smart grids. It will also explore possible interactions between different energy uses in a multi-energy vector approach, as well as the challenges of building energy performance.
The event will bring together academic experts, industry professionals, and representatives from associations and institutions to discuss the latest scientific, technological, economic, and regulatory developments in this constantly evolving field.
Discussions will focus on several strategic areas, addressing current and urgent challenges:
- Optimized integration of renewable energy at all scales of power grids.
- From multi-energy vectors to multi-purpose energy use.
- Development of smart storage systems to enhance grid flexibility.
- Adaptation of buildings to energy efficiency requirements while ensuring occupant thermal comfort.
- Evolution of energy and environmental regulations to support the transition.
- Financing mechanisms to accelerate innovation and implementation.
Beyond the state of the art, this seminar will highlight cross-cutting challenges: How can technological barriers be overcome? How can the social acceptability of proposed solutions be ensured? What partnerships should be fostered between science, industry, and policy to accelerate this transformation?
This scientific gathering aims to serve as a catalyst for collaboration and action, where shared knowledge will drive the design of high-impact projects, contributing to a just, inclusive, and resilient energy transition.
