I haven’t posted on X for a while. I wanted to give it a chance and see where this would go after the takeover. I have now done that and chosen to try something else and hopefully a little more rewarding/intellectually stimulating. I can be found at bsky.app/profile/scbshi…

@corfitsen_ C and D for me!!! The Spre / Houston era was also awesome 🔥🔥🔥

We are ready for next week. 🗝️ to secure progress on a global GHG pricing mechanism. We believe the GBM combines ambition and practicality. Let’s go!

Excellent explainer to the @WSC_shipping GBM which has been put fwd at @IMOHQ MEPC! We need an ambitious MBM adopted by 2025 and here’s our proposal, simple, proportionate and closing the price gap from day 1

@GuiLeGrand @FaigAbbasov Merci Guillaume. Penser qu’un secteur peut decarboner qu’ en ralentissant tient plus largement de l’imaginaire. IMO a enfin mis en marche le travail sur les mécanismes de marché GHG. Se détourner de ce travail maintenant est pour moi irresponsable.

@FaigAbbasov @Bergcube Thanks @FaigAbbasov to do the job and draw the line between @Bergcube's fuel-centric fantasy and the reality. In one's messianic civilization, spreading the word of abundant, reliable, affordable future fuels is easy. But shan't deliver decarbonisation. Just business as usual.

Truly unfortunate message from a leading NGO only weeks ahead of a key IMO meeting on mid-term measures. We need to incentivise the production of green fuels for shipping not jeopardize it. Energy efficiency ≠ energy transition shippingwatch.com/regulation/art…

@FaigAbbasov NZE calls for 15% reduction on 2022 basis to stay 1,5 aligned. So I still think it is relevant also in light of revised IMO targets. And there is quite a gap between 15&40. TBH I fail to understand the goal of T&E’s IMO strategy, contents and timing wise. But again that’s just me

@Bergcube i think you are avoiding my question, Simon, perhaps inadvertently :) IEA analysis you referred to does not analyse fuel uptake to meet the IMO's 2030 target. Their NZE is not aligned with the revised IMO strategy;

@FaigAbbasov I guess you also disagree with the IEA estimates whereby To get on track with the NZE Scenario, By 2030, low-emission fuels must represent +- 15%? iea.org/energy-system/…

@Bergcube How much green fuel do you need to hit -30% absolute GHG emissions reduction? I would be keen to learn more about analysis if you disagree with our maths. Our study is available here, together with detailed data in the annex: transportenvironment.org/discover/what-…

@FaigAbbasov 40% of green fuels to reach a 30% target is not something we can recognize at all in terms of calculations. This year alone we secured a 500k agreement for green methanol. 1. issue is no longer fuel availability but closing the price gap. But some MS will💕your maths 4sure.

@Bergcube @Bergcube we recommend IMO to deliver at least 10% zero GHG fuels by 2030. But maths shows that to deliver - 30% IMO GHG target, closer to 40% green fuel uptake is needed in the next 6 years = unrealistic. How else to meet the target then if not wz additional energy efficiency?

@MagnusBarsoe to store transport former er dybt afhængig af brintproduktion i større kvantiteter. Grøn metanol og ammoniak produceres med H2 som feedstock. Maersk alene har brug for 5 millioner tons grønt metanol inden 2030. Men H2 skal ikke bruges hvor direkt elektrificering er løsningen.

Nerd alert: Jeg ved sgu ikke med det her ekstremt hypede ptx og brinteventyr, vi kaster penge efter. Hvem skal aftage al den brint..? Her er fx en analyse fra McKinsey fra 2022 om markedet for brint. Men elektrificering og batterier har allerede sejret på 2-3 områder siden. Gør mig gerne klogere, please.

@SchaldemoseMEP @Altingetdk @beach_methodman Spot On 🎯🎯🎯. Denne tilgang i diverse medie er med til at underminere vigtigheden af EP valg gang på gang.

Så er vi her igen. @Altingetdk laver endnu en historie om de ukendte spidskandidater. Det var også historien om mig, da jeg blev valgt. Eksperten @beach_methodman siger partierne ikke stiller med deres stærkeste kort. Det må så være fordi “kendis faktor” og “stærkeste kort” er det samme. På erfaring, indflydelse, indsigt er jeg klart @Spolitik stærkeste kort. Ville være dejligt hvis Altinget droppede den dovne “de er ikke kendte” journalistisk, og brugte deres viden om EU til at gøre danskerne klogere. PS jeg hedder Christel, ikke Christen. @RiaEU #eudk

@BergurLokke Stort tillykke herfra. Ingen grønne korridorer uden grønne havne!

En ny havnestrategi, som jeg har forhandlet, er netop stemt igennem her i Strasbourg! Den er grønnere, moderne og så skaber den et langt mere solidt fundament for Europas strategiske uafhængighed uden at være for protektionistisk 📷 #dkpol #eupol #dkmedier #EPlenary

@Avis today marks 57 days of reaching out to “customer service” regarding a cleaning fee that doubled my rental price, levied without any explanation. I followed in person in CPH and by mail many times. I can live with the 📉 level of 🚗but if service is also out the window…

📱Come behind the scenes at @COP28_UAE with our CEO Vincent Clerc, we are calling on governments and “regulators to agree on global standards for what is green and account for carbon.” #Maersk #ClimateAction #decarbonisation Watch shipping CEOs here: youtube.com/watch?v=GfBMt8…

Very proud of this moment and this strong call at a time where we truly can see that we need to continue to push for strong global climate regulations and not cave into defeatism or delaying.

@TV2NBA @JensLaulund Den skulle lige prøves på AI! Tak for fantastisk dækning af NBA 😂😂😂

Okay... Er der nogen derude der kan photoshop-trylle et billede af flyttefirmaet 'Banchero, Wagner und Wagner'?😂😂😂 @JensLaulund Se mere 'Crunch Time' på TV 2 PLAY➡️play.tv2.dk/serie/crunch-t…

@mepassistants Why for some reason the EP elections still are seen as the ones where you can vote “lesser consequences” for parties you likely wouldn’t vote for in your national elections…

Eurobubble question of the day: I'm starting to think about content I could do on Twitch next year in preparation of the EU elections. What EU topics would be worth a stream (interview, debate, else) ?

Watch the highlights from the naming ceremony of the world’s first container vessel sailing on green methanol, Laura Mærsk🍾This marks a momentous milestone towards reaching net-zero emissions by 2040🌏Together we can go #ALLTHEWAYTOZERO #Maersk #LauraMaersk #Decarbonisation

Fantastic to hear @RoelHoenders from @IMOHQ providing insights on what it took to reach the milestone MEPC80 agreement and what lies ahead for the IMO to achieve the decarbonization objectives. You can count on us @Maersk!
