STARS Talks: Energy transition applied in isolated systems: current and future challenges

For isolated systems, the energy transition represents a critical pathway towards decarbonization, moving away from reliance on often expensive and environmentally damaging fossil fuels like diesel.

This talk will explore the current landscape of this shift, highlighting the challenges and opportunities inherent in integrating renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro in isolated locations.

We will delve into the technological advancements and innovative strategies necessary to achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions, fostering energy independence and environmental sustainability for these often-vulnerable communities.

Understanding the complexities of decarbonization in these unique contexts is crucial for building a cleaner and more resilient energy future for all.

This STARS Talk will be given by Professor Benjamin González Díaz from the STARS EU partner university University of La Laguna in Spain.
