Poster's note : slightly off-topic, but nevertheless a demonstration of a technique which could easily be adapted to place CDR technology into the energy mix, as both a power source and sink.

This paper reviews the approaches to this analysis and presents as a general case study, a fossil free imaginary island whose electricity, heat and mobility demand are fulfilled with sustainable and renewable energies only. The detailed hourly balance between supply and demand highlights the importance of energy storage, which is achieved by reversible hydropower and storage in electric vehicles.
