Interview with Scott Kessler, Director of Business Development at LO3 Energy
What is your vision for decarbonising heating and cooling in Europe by 2050?
A system with greatly improved system energy –how productively we use energy. This includes thinking holistically about how energy is used in the built environment, including extracting energy from data computation, as well as thinking holistically about the system’s and allowing users to buy and sell energy among each other.
What is your contribution to this vision as stakeholder in your professional environment, but also as individual?
Actively promoting the use of blockchain in the energy space, enabling peer to peer energy markets and increased efficiency, security, and transparency for grid operators.
Who do you think is the strongest ally in making your vision of a decarbonised Europe a reality?
Consumer choice. Distributed energy is being driven by customer adoption and so the system must inevitably become more distributed to adapt to millions of devices producing, storing, and consuming energy at grid edge.
