Hi all - I will no longer be posting on X as I’ve had enough of the platform being destroyed by Elon Musk who is allowing misinformation to flourish and using it to promote division and hatred. You can find me over on Blue Sky @edmatthew.bsky.social

Amazing new paper shows how the 2022 jump in oil & gas prices delivered $916b extra to Big Oil - almost all captured by Big Oil's backers Society as a whole received almost zero benefit and was, on average, impoverished: inequality worsened across the board

> Solar and wind take 10 years to get to 5% deployment, 10 more years to get to 25%, and then 10 years to reach 50% > EVs take 6 years to get to 5% of sales and 6 more years to reach 50% The cleantech revolution is unstoppable rmi.org/insight/inside… #climate

Who leads the global electrification race? China has electrified more than 25% of its final energy use and overtaken the US and Europe. Source is rmi.org/insight/inside…

I’m very aware people think the threat of climate change is hysterical and overblown. But then there’s this. This is fact. A graph from the University of Reading. Does this look okay to you?

🧵As the Government unveils plans to boost clean power, worth noting how much public sentiment has shifted to seeing clean energy not just as good, but as a no-brainer. All voter groups (inc Reform) are more likely to think renewables will cut cost of living than raise it

When David Cameron and George Osborne ‘cut the green crap’ there were 50,000 energy efficiency installers in GB - now there are less than 10,000. Most companies collapsed and the work force has never recovered. Rebuilding this work force is hard. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A step change: The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that in 2030, variable renewables account for 2/3 of global renewable electricity generation, rising from less than 45% today. Solar becomes the number one source of renewable electricity generation.

This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North. There is not time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Great summary from ⁦@James_BG⁩ on the results rolling in from Baku - developing countries leave with pledge to triple climate finance from developed countries but everyone knows this is not enough to prevent climate catastrophe businessgreen.com/news/4382153/c…

Death rate from air pollution per 100,000 people, change from 1990: > India up 70% > China down 68% Come on India, you can do this: >Faster renewables >Cut dirty coal >Scrubbers on smokestacks >Stricter emissions standards >Electrify everything >Enforce environmental regs

Just arrived back in Delhi to find the city embalmed in an all-enveloping burial shroud of pollution. Even at 2pm impossible to see 100m across the runway. I've never seen anything like this in forty years of living here. What a fate for the City of Djinns- still, at its best the most fascinating of cities, but currently a tragic, choking death-trap.

I always thought that industry had limited electrification potential. How wrong I was: Once we looked into it in more detail we found that the potential for industrial electrification is huge. 90% of industrial process heat could be electrified in Europe by 2035. That is what the most recent analysis for Agora Industry says.

🔴 NEW 🔴 British Gas has been given under the radar access to the COP29 climate summit. Bizarrely, its CEO and head of public affairs are registered as representatives of a small African NGO. 📝 My @DeSmog scoop from Baku desmog.com/2024/11/16/bri…

NEED SOME GOOD NEWS? The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels. Graph from @NatBullard graphic using @ember_energy data.

I keep hearing that heat pumps are a niche technology and will never take off. Look at the market share of heat pumps in different European countries - in 8 countries most new heating systems installed are now heat pumps.
