The European Union has set the ambitious target of becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Carbon-free energy production is an integral part of the solution, but is the EU on the road towards carbon neutrality yet or not? What kind of geopolitical and technological risks are involved in the energy systems of today and in the future?

This booklet provides some food for thought for decision-makers and anyone who is interested on what is arguably the most complex system on earth: energy networks.

The book includes contributions by Dimitar Lilkov (WMCES), Rauli Partanen (Think Atom), Timo Lehtimäki (Suomen Erillisverkot oy), Sami Karhu (Pellervo Coop Center) and Tapio Luoma-aho.
