Our goal is:
Clean energy for everyone
The Challenge
Ventum Dynamics Group (VDG) embraces the challenge of achieving a fair transition to a more circular and low-carbon global economy. We want to improve the living conditions of vulnerable and underprivileged communities while closing the gaps in the distributed energy system.
The world needs more clean energy
According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), global energy consumption is expected to increase by more than 50% by 2050. Here in Norway, SINTEF and the NTNU argue that fossil fuels will continue to dominate energy production and the global energy mix.
A habitable planet for future generations demands scalable and sustainable solutions, and there is no time to lose.
According to the UN, close to one billion people have no access to electricity, and twice this figure are deprived of a reliable and state-of-the-art energy supply.
Fossil fuels continue to dominate the current energy mix, with dramatic negative impacts on the global environment.
Renewable energy technologies have the potential to reduce the problems caused by fossil fuels and to help stamp out poverty and promote global health. They can electrify industry and transport, create a more resilient energy system and contribute towards mitigating climate change.
Change is just around the corner
The global share of renewable energy in electricity production rose to almost 28% in 2020,
and wind and solar are the fastest-growing renewable energy sources.
However, such technologies come with their own challenges. Large-scale developments demand substantial land use, competing with food production and threatening natural habitats and biodiversity.
The infrastructure needed to transfer energy from the production plant to the end-user also impacts the environment, leading to unwanted energy losses. And finally, modern energy systems often rely on unethically sourced resources and non-recyclable materials.
Both wind and solar power is getting cheaper. The cost of individual projects, however, can vary dramatically from place to place (VOX).
