As an energy expert, Staffan Reveman specialises in the analysis of energy-intensive industries, energy policy and the growing demands of digital infrastructures.
In his presentations, he addresses the question of how the rising energy demands of industry, data centres and digital services can be reconciled with climate targets, security of supply and economic competitiveness.
Staffan Reveman’s Lecture topics
- Industry under pressure – How energy-intensive industries must prepare for the future
The impact of electrification, grid expansion and electricity prices on steel, chemicals, data centres and AI infrastructures.
- Between NetZero and Blackout – How secure is our electricity supply really?
Analysis of security of supply in Europe, dependencies and realistic capacity expansion until 2045.
- Artificial Intelligence & Cloud Services: The invisible energy guzzlers of digitalisation
Why data centres are becoming an energy policy risk – and which solutions really work.
- Energy as a location factor – why production is moving to where electricity is available
Reindustrialisation, location selection and international competitiveness in the context of the energy transition.
- The Energy Transition under scrutiny – between regulatory wishful thinking and physical reality
A look at costs, subsidies, climate targets and the true state of the European electricity market.
A central focus of his lectures is on energy-intensive industries such as AI data centres, steel, chemicals and basic materials production. Reveman analyses the role that electrification, renewable energies and efficiency improvements can play in these sectors. In doing so, he addresses both technological possibilities and economic and regulatory frameworks. The aim is to identify realistic transformation paths that secure industrial value creation while reducing emissions.

Staffan Reveman: “It’s five past midnight. My keynotes are not for the faint-hearted and are based exclusively on cold facts.“
Staffan Reveman highlights the increasing demand for electricity from cloud services, artificial intelligence and data-intensive applications. He explains why they have become strategic hubs of modern economies and what challenges arise from their high energy and cooling requirements.
In this context, Staffan Reveman discusses solutions such as energy-efficient hardware, waste heat utilisation, site selection based on energy availability and the use of renewable energies. He also addresses the importance of grid expansion, flexibility options and energy management. Alternative solutions for electricity generation are discussed in a comparison between major industrialised nations.
The costs of electricity generation are compared with industrial electricity prices and their consequences in the form of ever-increasing subsidies. The industry’s ambitious plans for higher electricity consumption are also critically compared with the country’s planned power plant capacity.
A critical analysis of the electricity mix in different countries helps listeners understand what is meant by the term ‘NetZero’ and what we still need to do.
Staffan Reveman’s presentations are characterised by a clear, unvarnished analytical structure and a practical view of current developments. They are aimed at specialist audiences from industry, energy supply, politics and digitalisation and offer in-depth insights into the interactions between energy, technology and industrial transformation.
