The European energy sector is undergoing a period of rapid transformation away from fossil dependency. Power generation has become progressively more decarbonised, distributed and renewable. Wind power and solar photovoltaics have been part of this trend and will continue to dominate in the future, although other options such as hydrogen are considered to decarbonise hard-to-electrify sectors such as heavy industrial processes, aviation and maritime transport. As the renewable sources increase in market share, so will the volatility of the supply side of the power system. In parallel, power systems are increasingly digitalised and interconnected with other sectors and infrastructure. Information Communication Technologies (ICT) have opened new possibilities in the active management of power systems and strengthened the ability of the demand side to react to changes to the price of electricity. Standards offer the technical foundation for this transition. Our goal is to ensure a clean, smart and secure energy system.

ECOS is looking for experts in the field of Hydrogen with a focus on Greenhouse Gas Emissions associated to production, conditioning, and consumption to consumption gate.
There's a lot of hype about hydrogen. But don't get caught up! Hydrogen should not be used for domestic heating. Discover why in the replay of our webinar: Is there a chance for hydrogen boilers? In the webinar, we launched our new report: 'Burning question: Why hydrogen boilers are not the answer'.
The research is crystal clear: hydrogen should not be used to heat homes. It is time for us to leave behind the hype of hydrogen and focus on other more realistic – and immediately available – solutions that are both climate- and consumer-friendly. Find out more in our new report!
