We Have Enough Clean Energy, So Why Are We Still Burning Gas?

Simon Belka on fixing the grid with long energy storage. Why long-duration storage and microgrids may define the next energy system. We’re joined by Simon Belka, Co-Founder of Shifted (https://shifted-energy.com/), a long-duration energy storage startup building compressed-air systems for the decentralized grid. In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest paradoxes in clean energy: we’re producing more cheap renewable electricity than ever, yet still burning gas because the grid can’t move or store it fast enough. In our conversation, we covered: → Why grid congestion, not renewables, is now the real problem → How microgrids work (and why they’re a €135bn market) → Why batteries fail beyond ~6–8 hours of storage → Inside Shifted Energy’s compressed-air “air battery” → How long-duration storage competes with hydrogen and thermal systems → Early traction: microgrids, mines, logistics hubs, and off-grid sites → The economics: efficiency, CapEx, and levelized cost of storage → What it takes to scale from 100 kW pilots to megawatt systems → Why Europe is uniquely positioned to lead this transition *** Subscribe to New Wave on: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... https://open.spotify.com/show/2GYJiYD... https://explorepodcast.substack.com Connect with me on LinkedIn   / hugorauch   *** 💚 LEAVE A REVIEW Apple Podcasts - https://shorturl.at/HIDcg Spotify - https://shorturl.at/yDTfR *** ©️ SUPPORT: Visual Design: https://www.trec-studio.com/ Audio Design: https://leobarbenes.tumblr.com/?sourc...
