The steady rise of renewables and decline of coal as a share of electricity generation in Australia’s National Electricity Market.

First of all: Australia's env dep't (now Industry) releases a yearly projection of emissions, and within that, a projection of what stuff will be generating electricity.

Coal+Gas: constantly being revised down
Wind+Solar: being revised upwards:

@KetanJ0 Are you making regular pizza? You can get fresh yeast next to the butter in most supermarkets in Oslo and is good to go straight away. Otherwise, you can get the dried. The brand is the same for both - Idun Mors hjemmebakte Gjær original. Coop Extra borggata had some earlier

@Peters_Glen Is this published somewhere else? Couldn't find on Robbie Andrew's page

Different IAMs have different characteristics.

In <2°C scenarios energy use in 2100 can vary a factor of 3, depending on model & socioeconomics:
* REMIND likes solar & BECCS
* GCAM likes nuclear
* WITCH likes wind
* AIM likes fossil fuels
* All models love CCS...

1. Renewable capacity (including hydro & bioenergy) predicted to grow 50% to 2024, but not enough to cover all new capacity demand suggesting CO₂ emissions will continue to rise...

2018. Another year of rising carbon dioxide (CO₂). That is all.

This is an awesome post of the #IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C. It goes through the background, key results, expert opinion, contentious issues, media coverage, the lot.

Grab a hot coffee (it is long), read & enjoy.

Thanks again @CarbonBrief, #SR15 https://t.co/jkVsfqzcjR

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

This figure should scare you.

On current trajectory, China will have 1010GW coal capacity in 2045 (despite the rhetoric), but China should be burning little coal (without CCS) by 2045 to be 2°C compliant.

49% reduction in greenhouse gases (relative to 1990 levels) by 2030
95% reduction by 2050
100% carbon-neutral electricity by 2050 https://t.co/H93WYifh9x

Vulnerable countries pay more for debt because of climate change. No denying this...

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Worth remembering that China has 50% of the world coal power capacity & 30% of the future pipeline (construction & planned). The plants only operate half the time, so there is a huge potential for increases in emissions. Don't bank on a CO₂ peak just yet! https://t.co/pI42Vmxrvv
