Thanks Hannah! Here are the slides if anyone is interested:

Although I realised too late they're missing a crucial model description slide🤦, I'll add it it soon. But it's PyPSA-Eur, all energy sectors, net-zero CO2 emissions, default of 200 MtCO2/a sequestration.

What is the value of biomass 🥬 in future energy systems 🔌💡💨😎?
TL;DR: it's more important to provide renewable carbon than energy, thus saving on expensive direct air capture
Featuring PyPSA-Eur with biomass extensions and some fun near-optimal analysis!

Hi @nworbmot.bsky.social, interesting! I'm a bit surprised that you see no role of hydrogen for backup power, while PyPSA-Eur typically does. Isn't 120 EUR/MWh for production a bit high when producing in summer? Also, w.r.t storage, the EWI numbers I found were 20-50 EUR/MWh, not 120? Thanks!

Decarbonization without deindustrialization in future pathways for European industry
Decarbonization without deindustrialization in future pathways for European industry
Using an extended PyPSA-Eur energy system model, this study examines whether European industry can decarbonize without losing competitiveness. Results show that while electrification and green hydrogen make deep decarbonization feasible, importing green intermediate goods offers a more cost-effective path than relocation or large subsidies.
