Setting target of EVs to be made of 40% green steel will add just €57 to the price of a new car. Very cheap, for big emissions cuts + vital guaranteed customer for emerging #GreenSteel https://t.co/FEXecmy212 #EVs #steel #automotive #transport #emissions #targets #investment

The world must triple Renewables by 2030. We’re 30% off-target but it can be done. Review of almost 150 nations. Many are exceeding their targets https://t.co/UajJ1nhrM7 #IEA #renewables #wind #solar #NDCs #China #Europe #EU #US #India #Germany #Spain #permitting #VRE #financing

UK’s new state-owned GB Energy, a role model for others? Investments, not nationalisations. To attract private money, not crowd out. Explainer https://t.co/EpXwqbYXmp #UK #Labour #GBEnergy #SOE #energy #transition #hydrogen #CDR #CCS #CCUS #France #Norway #Canada #US #Orsted #EDF

Excessive cross-border accumulation of subsidies distorts competition, wastes money, endangers EU energy transition. Case study Danish biomethane exports to Sweden https://t.co/1EIedLbBFr #EU #renewables #biofuels #RedIII #Denmark #Sweden #Netherlands #Germany #Landwärme

Biden vs Trump: will the economics of oil sway the U.S. presidential election? U.S. voters are very sensitive to the price of gasoline in their cars https://t.co/dijJD8TbjE #US #Russia #SaudiArabia #Biden #Trump #oil #gas #gasoline #transport #EVs #cars #IRA #geopolitics #prices

World’s biggest plane to carry offshore-wind sized blades to “inaccessible” onshore destinations. No roads, bridges, tunnels, curves to overcome means more GWs onshore https://t.co/GEgLvvbyL2 #onshore #offshore #wind #turbines #transport #aircraft #renewables #innovation

Basic energy access reverses for first time in a decade, after good progress since 2015. 685m people without electricity in 2022, up 10m. But decentralised renewables is gaining in rural areas https://t.co/ifeFFhVXBa #Africa #Asia #SDG7 #electricity #cooking #efficiency #finance

Germany, Italy + 10 others not on track to meet their 2030 climate targets. Will they buy up €bns of carbon credits, causing a shortage? https://t.co/wP9UePN14H #EU #NDCs #2030 #carboncredits #Germany #Italy #France #ESR #transport #buildings #industry #waste #agriculture

Superconducting overhead power transmission lines that deliver 400MW (and targeting several GW). Cooling system is the key https://t.co/6poxgjkQhi #superconductors #cables #overhead #transmission #power #grids #electricity #innovation #capacity #voltage #planning #nuclear

Private sector (and policy alignment!) must jumpstart Lithium-ion Battery Recycling, as first wave of EVs near end of life. Graphite recycling, electrolyte and lithium recovery etc. https://t.co/tMEKzcHOLh #lithium #batteries #recycling #EVs #energysecurity #nickel #Europe #US

Carbon Pricing annual receipts are almost $100bn globally and rising. 2/3rds of nations intend to include it in their NDC. EU’s CBAM + ETS will get trading partners to join in https://t.co/KAdPNIwHcd #EU #EUETS #ETS #CBAM #carbonpricing #NDCs #trade #decarbonisation #transition

The fossil fuel system wastes 2/3rds of its energy before it gets to you. Inefficiency is driving it out, not just emissions. 400EJ wasted, worth $4.5tn, ~ 5% of global GDP. See detailed breakdown https://t.co/d4peCJWifn #oil #gas #coal #renewables #localisation #electrification
