Singapore Maritime Week has started! 🎉

We kicked off #SMW2024 with @glmforum and @MICleanEnergyRD to discuss our newest report exploring strategies that ports can take to supply #ZeroEmissions shipping fuels e-ammonia, e-methanol, and biomethanol. https://t.co/F1My8uevc6

@richardbranson @VirginAtlantic @HollyBranson It was an honor and a privilege to participate in this magnificent milestone for the aviation industry! Grateful for all the years of impactful collaboration btw @RockyMtnInst and @VirginUnite / @VirginAtlantic. Let’s now pick up the next challenge. Onwards and upwards!

@svanteaxelsson @FossilfrittSE @PreemSverige @BuschEbba @mikaeldamberg Flög idag på Virgin’s Flight 100, första kommersiella transatlantflyget med 100% SAF (landar på JFK om 15 min). Så tekniskt möjligt men snåriga regelverk, förmodligen trögare än kunder och bränsleleverantörer. Vad är planen för internationella standarder och flygtillstånd?

[Thomas Koch Blank @KochBlank]

Getting ready for #Flight100, the first ever commercial flight running on 100% sustainable aviation fuel AND piloting (sic) protocols to avoid warming contrails. Onwards and upwards!

Great news @InvenergyLLC, welcome to the group! Let's go buy some near-zero steel!

[Invenergy @InvenergyLLC]

Invenergy is proud to announce our membership in @RockyMtnInst’s Sustainable Steel Buyers Platform. To build a sustainable world, we join other ambitious companies helping lead the shift to low-emissions steel in North America.

With the Inflation Reduction Act, the US market can manufacture competitive, near-zero emission steel.

Do you have supply chain emission targets? Are you buying steel in the US? Register to our webinar on how to join forces with peers and bring "green steel" to the market!

@DanTilert Värt att lyssna på. Tyckte liknande, att inte allt han sa var fullkomligt bonkers, utan rätt vettigt.

[Thomas Koch Blank @KochBlank]

@DanTilert Har du lyssnat på hans sommarprat i år?

[Thomas Koch Blank @KochBlank]

@guido23 @kortum Gotta be back at the hotel and ready for a meeting at 07:30, tho.

[Thomas Koch Blank @KochBlank]

@guido23 @kortum I'll be running there on Wednesday morning!

[RMI @RockyMtnInst]

Automakers shift gears, pledging demand for green steel, reports @EnergyMonitor. 🚙

Advance market commitments become the driving force to transform concept into reality. 👀 https://t.co/k7Pr5aMz84

Big day for #maritime #decarbonization, when @IMOHQ commits to a net-zero GHG emisisons target by 2050! 🚢🎉

[Thomas Koch Blank @KochBlank]

Why is decarbonization of the #mining and #steel sectors important? Catch me on @BKTtires's latest Global Trends episode on June 20 at 9:30 CET to find out. We’ll discuss some of the most exciting opportunities and technology developments in this space!

“Not only could clean hydrogen help make industries cleaner and greener, it has a strong enough business case for industries to take this seriously,” @RMI_Industries Program.
Glad to speak to Garrett from the Baltimore Biz Journal

Mycket viktigt klargörande från ⁦@ifmetall⁩ ⁦@Unionen⁩ ⁦@SSAB_AB⁩
Jobben i industrin säkras genom att Sverige lyckas behålla ledar­positionen i klimatomställningen. Det skapar värde och nya jobb i hela landet, inte bara i norr. https://t.co/TIaGeZ51D2

I find this chart amazing. Quite apparently, Americans prioritize cars over flush toilets (by a wide margin).

The rest of @systemiq_ltd’s report on #scurve #tippingpoint dynamic in the energy transition is also worth a read. :)

@snyatta It did surely contribute to our decision to relocate.
