Inhalt / Contenu

Do you know how much energy you use personally every day? Do you know how many photovoltaic modules are required to cover that use renewably? Does Luxembourg have the resources to go 100% renewable? It is easy to say we want renewable energy to power our lives, but we need to check if it is physically possible. We will answer these questions during the talk. In order to do so, we will discuss the concepts of energy consumption and generation. To facilitate this discussion during the session you will get to carry out an energy audit of your own life, so please bring a web enabled device, if possible.
