In this FSR Podcast, research associate James Kneebone is joined by Ronnie Belmans for a deep dive on some of the nuanced issues surrounding the integration of 'clean molecules' into the EU's energy system. 

Ronnie has more than 40 years of experience in the energy sector, including as a professor at KU Leuven, co-founder and former CEO of EnergyVille as well as advisor here to the Florence School of Regulation. He was also chair of the board for Elia and the Flemish energy regulator.  Ronnie’s work focuses on techno-economical aspects of power systems, electrical energy and regulatory affairs, as well as smart grids, and security of energy supply. 

In this wide-ranging conversation, James and Ronnie discuss everything from the difference between renewable hydrogen as an end in itself and the finished products we need it to produce, to the relationship between electrification and bioenergy. Ronnie also reflects on the tension between the economic and industrial imperative to push for the scale-up of a clean tech sector and the implications for the cost and sustainability of our energy system. Finally, the pair look at some of the social and planning implications of the build-out of large-scale clean molecule value chains, including the issue of 'NIMBY' and even 'NUMBYism', as well as the potential health and safety risks associated with storing and handling millions of tonnes of often poisonous and volatile products."

An engineers take on European hydrogen policy: Ronnie Belmans

The podcast presents "Cebo para la arena" (Bait for the Sand), a literary and pictorial work by Christian Luis Giuliano Cabana (Kavhanna). The text tells a story of betrayal and redemption, with a complex symbolism that explores philosophical and existential themes. A thorough analysis of the work highlights its scientific, artistic, heritage and financial value, considering its transmedia potential and its integration into various markets. Images accompany the text, amplifying its visual meaning.
