READ MOREAbstract. Learning from experiments has been seen as important in developing climate and energy solutions, but less attention has been paid to learning from the inevitable failures associated with experiments. Learning from failures is challenging because sharing such experiences is difficult. This study examines a novel intervention
READ MOREIn the fossil fuel-free energy scenario for Finland, the share of electricity will increase by about 50% replacing fossil fuels. More electricity will be needed to supply power for the heat pumps in district heating networks and buildings, and electric vehicles in the transport sector. Also steel industry and other industries need clean
