@Adam_Grant_Bell Have a renault Zoe EV. Would not reccommend renault sadly! MG is a well put together vehicle and electrics likely to be better.

BEGUN, THE WASTE WARS HAVE: I want to flag a brilliant new report from @manairport on the relative emissions savings of using municipal waste for jet fuel production rather than burning it for electricity. /1 mediacentre.magairports.com/download/d0f90…

@Adam_Grant_Bell @manairport Hey Adam. I'm very little on X these days. The report is interesting but we have done a bunch of work on this and we cannot get our sector to net zero with SAF. We can get there + beyond with CCS
waste is not used to make rather we treat waste to make it safe and use the heat

At least climate change won't really affect the UK they say 😬. Imagine 1m on top of this....

There is not a little irony in reading the national infrastructure assessment while on my 3rd cancelled or delayed train this week while struggling for connectivity.
Whoever forms next government needs to help move away from our poor historical record on Infrastructure.

@DrSimEvans @energyutilities @BoschUK @BritishGas @CadentGasLtd @Danfoss @SchneiderElec @vaillantuk @mikefosterEUA Just incredible they let this carry on

I wonder if @energyutilities members including @BoschUK @BritishGas @CadentGasLtd @Danfoss @SchneiderElec @vaillantuk think they are getting good value for their fees, given the relevant govt minister thinks EUA head @mikefosterEUA is "deranged"?
Great lobbying tactics, 10/10!

.@mikefosterEUA is becoming increasingly deranged, now attacking DESNZ officials who cannot answer back.There is no difference between us on CHMM and importance of increasing heat pump deployment. envirotecmagazine.com/2023/09/28/con…

To get the minister so frustrated he needs to take to X to challenge claims is very serious. I fail to understand why the gas boiler sector allows such poor representation.

Just read this. Fun it is*

Barnaby Wharton@BarnabyCBW
So, today Civitas has published a great new report, publishing the "realisistic" costs of Net Zero. Apparently, it’s a whopping £4.5 trillion, or £6,000/home/year. Wow. However, how do these numbers stack up? (tl;dr: no. but stick around for the 🧵, because it's fun). 1/12

As someone promoting CCS in the waste sector, I find this insightful analysis.
CCS and blue Hydrogen have a role but it absolutely needs to be proven and scaled (this is about political will not technical delivery)
+ should be used when no realistic alternative available
Dave Jones@CleanPowerDave
I've had a lot of questions on why the IEA have "downgraded" CCS+hydrogen, so I thought I'd try to provide some more insight...

Enjoying the level of @Conservatives led backlash against tonight's policy u-turns on #climate. This is encouraging to see that across most of the political spectrum there is a real recognition that clear net zero policies are good for the economy and for our future
English
This does not come as a surprise. But, if true, will be bad for the economy and bad for the planet. Net zero is not an economic drain. Deepening fossil fuel dependence is.

EXCL w/@ChrisMasonBBC Rishi Sunak is considering changing some of the government's key green commitments. Could include: - Delaying ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035 - Softening plans to phase out gas boilers. Speech in coming days bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
English
@doug_parr This is a prevalent issue that I see across sectors and decision makers. The idea that the economy is not wholly dependent on a benign environment remarkably prevalent and right now is walking us in the wrong direction
English
She isn't the first and won't be the last, but a flaw in Liz Truss playbook is to regard the climate change and emissions reductions as subservient to the money economy
It's not - ultimately it's the other way round

Reminder: There are still 12 years to go before sales of new fossil fuelled cars are due to be phased out in the UK (hybrids will continue to be sold until 2035)

BREAKING UK battery electric vehicle sales surged 72% in August, accounting for one in five of all cars sold EVs have made up 16.4% of sales in 2023 to date, up from 14% in the same period last year smmt.co.uk/2023/09/august…

This is just a nuts and amazing ride. Paris to brest and back. Not sure I could ever do cycling like this! Bravo

This is so important. We are all susceptible to conforming and our views are not objective despite put best efforts

Lovely early morning walk with @MontyTheDog4 today, fox, badger, rabbits and squirrels provided the entertainment whilst I pondered the day ahead. #TakeTime #MakeTime
