Electric, efficient & flexible solutions can decarbonise buildings, improve standards of living, and reduce energy bills if supported by ambitious policy. ETC Chair Adair Turner discusses this & more on a new episode of Shaken Not Burned. Listen here: open.spotify.com/show/7AJHHKVrf…

Carbon removals, as well as reductions, are crucial to net-zero. Yet in 2024, carbon reductions comprised over 90% of demand in the voluntary carbon credit market. Our briefing outlines the crucial role of removals credits in corporate net-zero pathways ⬇️ energy-transitions.org/publications/r…

During #LCAW2025, ETC Clean Power Lead Phoebe O'Hara moderated the panel, Powering Prosperity: Electrifying Europe’s Growth and Energy Security. Following the event, check out the ETC's insights on making clean electrification possible here: energy-transitions.org/publications/m…

⚡Last week ETC Clean Power Lead Phoebe O'Hara gave the opening address for the 2030 Clean Power Summits and explored how green hydrogen can help the UK achieve clean power by 2030 for the Green Hydrogen Summit. Following the event, check out our analysis: energy-transitions.org/publications/m…

It is critical to improve access to affordable & efficient cooling. Policymakers can address this via clear guidance for passive cooling techniques, minimum energy efficiency standards for AC & proper disposal of AC refrigerants. energy-transitions.org/publications/a…

New Net Zero Tracker Report, Carbon Competitiveness: India at the Net Zero–Trade Nexus launched! India’s export economy is increasingly exposed to carbon-related trade measures as global markets decarbonise. Read the analysis: buff.ly/hlmtVIo

Our analysis shows that wind & solar-powered grids can deliver reliable, low-cost electricity globally. Regional highlights: ☀️ India, Mexico = lowest costs 🌊 Spain, Chile = competitive 🌿 China = relatively low 🌪️ UK, Germany = higher, but still viable Full insights tomorrow.

Our DSF ladder adapted from Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social's Clean Hydrogen Ladder, highlights various DSF solutions which help lower energy bills & deliver grid benefits. More on this + delivering competitive electricity in high renewable systems tomorrow as our report on #PowerSystems launches.

The Energy Transitions Commission congratulates Nigel Topping, CMG on his appointment as the new Chair of the Climate Change Committee, an independent advisory body to the UK government on climate change. Read more here: energy-transitions.org/nigel-topping-…

The future is renewable – and the transition already possible. New ETC report shows many countries can run power systems with 70%+ wind & solar using proven tech like storage, demand side flexibility & long distance transmission. Read more: energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

A new report from Energy Transitions Commission shows that wind and solar-dominant power systems are competitive, reliable, and technically and economically feasible. "Solar and wind could and should be the backbone of a decarbonised energy system", says Dave Jones energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

New ETC briefing: Long-distance transmission could deliver 15% of global power demand, save $100bn/year & cut 1.8 Gt of CO₂. Strategic links - like Morocco–NW Europe or Australia–SE Asia - can accelerate clean, affordable electricity worldwide. Read more: energy-transitions.org/publications/l…

As electricity demand doubles by 2050, grid investment must rise but with the right planning, costs per MWh can stay flat. Smart regulation, spatial planning and DSF, amongst other levers, will be key to keeping grid costs low. Full insights: energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

A variety of tech can help meet balancing needs in high-renewables grids. Short (≤8h): batteries, demand-side Medium (8–50h): thermal, pumped hydro, CAES Long (50+h): hydrogen storage with turbines Read more: energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

UK electricity bills have nearly doubled over the past decade but clean energy policy is not to blame. Volatile wholesale gas prices were the main driver of increases. Renewables can offer greater stability and shield consumers from future price shocks. energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

Wind & solar can power the future but building reliable, low-cost power systems requires more than generation tech. 6 enablers are essential: 🧭 Planning ⚖️ Market Design 🔌 Grid rules 📊 AI & Data 🏗️ Supply chain & workforce 👥 Consumers energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

“In the global sunbelt, the collapsing cost of solar PV & batteries makes possible far cheaper & more rapid growth in green electricity supply than seemed feasible 10 years ago." ETC Chair Adair Turner on power systems transformation for BusinessGreen businessgreen.com/news/4516956/s…

As costs continue to fall and deployment scales up, wind and solar are now the lowest-cost sources of new generation in most regions and poised to dominate electricity systems worldwide. 📘 Full report: energy-transitions.org/publications/p…

There is a major opportunity to expand energy services and prosperity while using less energy. Our new briefing shows how electrification, efficient tech and smarter material use can unlock energy productivity at scale. bit.ly/48pMvUh #EnergyProductivity #Efficiency
