2️⃣ So if global CO₂ emissions is 38.9 GtCO₂/yr, and the Climeworks Orca plant removes 4000 tCO₂/yr, it's a time machine that takes us back 3 seconds every year.

Permanent sequestration of 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year for four years is impressive, but when you see that it’s a time machine that takes us back 1 minute and 21 seconds each year, it’s really not enough.

A recent study by Zheng et al. found that, hidden delays of #climate mitigation benefits in the race for #electric #vehicle deployment. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Fascinating. The left-green government in Berlin was accused of "dividing society" with its transport policy (though I don't remember street protests?) The new Conservative+SPD government aimed to pacify things. But their transport policy is now leading to street protests

Good morning with good news: Global peak ICE fleet is likely by 2026 to 2028, the year when total ICE vehicles on world's roads peaks, then falls. ICE vehicle sales peaked in 2017 and were down to 2011 levels in 2023. Peak ICE Fleet Is Closer Than We Believe - CleanTechnica

Wow! Ethiopia is jumping to EVs & will ban importing ICE. Why? It can't afford to spend annually $5 billion on oil imports! EVs are already ~10% of Ethiopia's auto FLEET! Ethiopia Shows Us Just How Fast The Transition To Electric Mobility Can Happen In Africa - CleanTechnica

Can clean hydrogen boost our efforts to achieve #netzero goals? A new One Earth study finds that clean hydrogen can supply 3-9% of global energy use by 2050 and cut decarbonization costs by 15-22%. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How much net-zero hydrogen should be produced and used if we are to realize a cost-effective net-zero energy transition? Read the new study cell.com/one-earth/full… Paul Wolfram Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
