Finally out! 1st diagnosis of the entire Planet. All the 9 Planetary Boundaries quantified defining Our Safe Operating Space on Earth. Bad news: 6 of 9 PBs breached. Good news: Window still open, we know what to measure, we can return and we win if we do! science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Porsche CPO Frenkel about BEVs "Not all countries are developing at the same pace in terms of providing charging networks. That's why we think there will be internal combustion vehicles in other regions of the world for a relatively long time, and if you want to decarbonize

NEW RESEARCH: Study number 44 shows: Hydrogen should only play a limited & complimentary role to decarbonise heating. Whole-energy system optimisation model by Imperial College London suggests 83-97% of UK heating from heat pumps is lowest cost pathway to zero emissions heating. 🧵

Great work! Congrats!

Data is the fuel of the new economy. This will be even more true in coming years. hbr.org/2019/01/which-…

Almost all carbon offset projects are junk.

A cool schematic showing that the global average temperature continues to increase under rapid decarbonization, but peaks & then stabalises with sustained net negative emissions. Figure spotted here: worldenergydata.org/1-5c/ But originates here: library.wmo.int/viewer/56268?m… 1/

To decarbonise industry, we must decarbonise heat. About half of all industry process heat is below 200C. Industrial heat pumps using waste heat are well-placed to provide heat at this temperature saving energy and reducing carbon emissions.

“I don’t know what you’re going to report on this, and I hope to God it’s not all of it, because I probably will go to jail.” This The New Yorker expose on carbon offsets is pretty unbelievable: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Looks like carbon removal will make it onto the list of 'net zero technologies' in the #NZIA. Here are the ITRE compromise amendments which, like the Presidency compromise, include it (vote on Wednesday): europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2014_…

The world is dependent on a small number of countries for supplies of key commodities, which in turn are highly vulnerable to trade disruptions. Read more in this blog. bit.ly/46qe23O #WEO

Breakthrough Energy, set up by Bill Gates in 2015, takes stakes in start-ups with nascent technologies that need funds to develop at scale. To be considered, a start-up must prove it can reduce emissions by at least 0.5bn tonnes. on.ft.com/3SqURmj

Yet another @nature paper promoting forests as a solution to industrial carbon emissions. Hello? #greenwashing carbon is NOT a solution. nature.com/articles/s4158…

International #conservation #funding in #SouthAmerica tends to go to areas with high conservation value, not where threats (deforestation in our case) are high. New paper led by Siyu Qin @biogeoberlin just out in Biological Conservation 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…

Without decarbonising heating we cannot decarbonise the economy: Home heating makes up a large share of carbon emissions in most European countries. Graph created by Aira using IPCC data.

The new McKinsey & Company report on #CarbonRemoval shows how technology-based #CDR costs are expected to decline over time, and nature-based removals will likely get more expensive. Check out the whole report that sheds light on scaling the industry, including market size expectations:
