Calling energy systems modellers! Looking for a fresh start in 2025? This could be for you. We are recruiting a Research Associate on planning the clean, secure, reliable energy infrastructure underpinning climate compatible growth. jobs.ac.uk/job/DLP835/res…

Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably). We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already. 🧵

@JimSkeaIPCC @IPCC_CH Congratulations!

I am humbled and deeply honoured to have been elected Chair of @IPCC_CH, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

@TruslerMartin @FSR_UWA @StanwixPaul @ericfmay @ZsGhafri UWA… my undergrad home - enjoy!

Great to have a couple of days off in beautiful Thailand en route to a six-week stay in Perth, Australia, working with the brilliant team @FSR_UWA

Surprising!

@HannahEDaly Oh dear…

“We will extract every ounce of oil and gas from the North Sea”

@StefanoMoret @ETH_en @snsf_ch Nice!

📢 In just a few days I will be joining @ETH_en as a Principal Investigator and Group Leader funded by a 4-year @snsf_ch #Ambizione grant! 🥳 🔬My group will focus on #uncertainty in #energy systems planning and operations - a #PhD position will be advertised soon, #StayTuned!

Heads up! Great postdoc job opportunity - for global impact energy systems modelling research - in a bright and friendly team - in a world leading university - in London! @ResearchCcg #CCG #energytwitter #energytransition #energyforall imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

@Peters_Glen @Siddhar28031625 Short term forcing of H2 could be much higher than 5-10 - that’s the 100 year GWP. With H2 it’s all about the rate of emissions, as opposed to cumulative emissions. Fortunately it’s a very energy dense fuel (by unit mass). I think it would need to be a very part of the mix!

Atmospheric concentrations of H₂ over the last century. A steady rise, only expected to continue with the interest in H₂, oh, & it has a Global Warming Potential (100yrs) of 5-10... agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.102…

Methane emissions per unit of energy are higher in biogas and biomethane supply chains than they are in oil and gas supply chains. But there is hope if BAT is used! Nice work @smrbkk @Wiccaoflight sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@HannahEDaly This is important! And getting polarised in a possibly unhelpful way. Development cannot trump climate, and climate cannot trump development. Either would be a disaster.

NEWS FLASH! It’s not a dislike of “hard maths” that puts girls off studying or pursuing careers in maths + physics. It’s outdated and damaging stereotypes that close doors on many talented girls and women. Ready to hear about some of our most inspiring women physicists? 🧵

One wonders why it has taken so long for this issue to be really recognised - despite the efforts of many - the UK’s residential energy efficiency farce of the past ~10 years! Where Britain’s journey to insulation went wrong theguardian.com/environment/20…

Fantastic to see evidence from @Grantham_IC researcher @_neil_grant referenced in this @CommonsEAC letter on negative emission technologies. @AjayGambhir11 @ProfHawkes #climate 👇

🚨A thread (and report) on CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVALS🚨 Global focus has (rightly) been on emissions reductions, but this alone will not be enough for 1.5C, we need to start removing carbon from today. See our new @ETC_Energy piece #MindtheCarbonGap energy-transitions.org/publications/m…
