His story and the remarkable efforts my brother and sister in law are putting in to support underfunded critical research in this area are highlighted today in one of Austria's largest newspaper derstandard.at/story/30000002…

Coal: you'll never catch me. Wind and Solar: just did.

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization. There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/presentations

Going through the predictions we made for solar at the start of the year. 317GW new build in 2023? Lol no 413GW. $0.22/W modules? Lol no $0.122/W. N-type >15% of market, fair. Grid still a bottleneck, well that wasn't much of a prediction, was it.

@USTreasury is poised to unveil rules to guide the clean hydrogen industry (canarymedia.com/articles/hydro…). A thread on the stakes—and why this debate should NOT be seen as "greens vs industry" but rather "right vs wrong way" to scale a "clean" hydrogen industry that's actually clean.

BREAKING UK govt cancels second planned "hydrogen village" trial Govt says it isn't, but is this curtains for UK hydrogen heat? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/657a26ea…

📢📢NEW📢📢 THE definitive @CarbonBrief summary of #COP28, an epic team effort by all my brilliant colleagues (+ me) HUGE thanks to the dozens of experts, wonks, geeks, friends who gave quotes & helped us pull this together (Final sections coming tmrw) carbonbrief.org/cop28-key-outc…

Some developing countries think the new #COP28 #GlobalStocktake text is decent, but for a reason that REALLY highlights that the failure of developed countries to deliver climate finance underpins almost all the struggles and difficulties we have in this process. (1/6)

Set to be an all-nighter at the 28th annual climate conference as delegates debate whether fossil fuels, which cause 80% of global warming, should be reduced to reduce global warming.

Lots of headlines written about how EV demand is faltering. Is it? Global EV sales are on pace for a record year. Heading for around 14 million sold, up 36%. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@Adam_Grant_Bell Question is basically will the chemical and plastic industry be responsible for their scope 3 downstream emissions...

That being said, I can easily see someone developing a zero carbon oil cracker for making polymers. If we can do that, will we actually ultimately need to phase out oil for that particular use? /9

Oil is the hardest to phase out because it is so embedded into our society and is so damn useful. A highly energy dense fuel that is cheap and easily exploitable is literally why humanity's growth over the last century and a bit has been so explosive. /6

A few weeks ago a fossil executive told me ‘he’d been in this business for 25 yrs & not much had changed’ Applying that thinking to the next 25 would be like being in the year 2000 & predicting that mobile phone use would decline THREAD on today's @ETC_energy report /1

Check out the new @ETC_Energy paper on #FossilPhasedown launched today. With the urgency on this topic, the ETC also calls on COP28 to gain global commitment to the rapid phase-down of fossil fuel use. bit.ly/3QP3Ixa

If you’ve read about electric vehicles in the news lately, you know the vibes are all bad. The media has fixated on the idea that consumer demand for EVs is “slowing." But the data shows that just not true, as I explain in a new @Heatmap column heatmap.news/electric-vehic…

**Why carbon capture and carbon removals do not mean BAU for the fossil fuel industry** A thread and blog post previewing some findings from our pre-COP28 report on Fossil Fuels in Transition – out very soon! Read on 👇 bit.ly/3R2yOlb 1/8

When/where should we use hydrogen? Y'all have probably seen @MLiebreich's Hydrogen Ladder. But this decision chart from @Evolved_Energy is really great too. Check it out evolved.energy/post/adp2022-h…
