Upcoming WEC report

wecINVITATION

Presentation of upcoming WEC report on world rankings for energy sustainability The global sustainability index 2015, that will be launched by World Energy Council (WEC) in November 2015, rate 130 countries on their ability to provide the country with a secure and environmental sustainable energy supply to an affordable price. From a position as the world’s number two in 2013, Denmark was ranked as number 5 in 2014 and a sneak preview of the 2015 report show that the Danish downward slide continue. The long-term goal for Danish energy policy is that the entire energy supply is to be covered by renewable energy by 2050. How will this goal influence the future Danish ranking? WEC Denmark invite to a presentation and discussion of the rating:

  • How is the rating performed?
  • Why does the rating of Denmark slide down?
  • What can be done to reverse the trend?
  • What are the consequences for our green image and export of green technology?

Jon Fold von Bülow

Jon Fold von Bülow recieved his Cand. Scient. in Nanoscience from University of Copenhagen in 2011 and is currently working with upscaling Li- and Na-ion battery materials to the 100+ kg scale for Haldor Topsøe A/S.

Jon's main interest lies in energy technologies for the future and he started working with fusion energy at Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy. He has since developed a growing interest in technologies that are closer to potential industrial application. He is a highly dedicated academic as well as a very active professional and have initiated and participated in many different projects.

His studies within nanotechnological material science and affiliation with Risø National Laboratories has taken him to Germany, China and the US, where he has collaborated independently with several international research groups. He has so far succeeded in pushing two academic projects to industrial application, first with the Danish company Coloplast A/S and recently with a California-based battery start-up – an invention that is currently being US patented.

Jon has conducted most of his work on Li-batteries in the facilities of California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) as a research scholar at UCSB-MIT-Caltech Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB). The manganese based cathode materials he fabricated during this period were all tuned for high-power applications and covers synthesis of various manganese oxides from solution, molten and solid states.
