Calling energy systems modellers! Looking for a fresh start in 2025? This could be for you.

We are recruiting a Research Associate on planning the clean, secure, reliable energy infrastructure underpinning climate compatible growth.

Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably).

We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already.

Regional expertise can really appreciate the diverse local contexts in Africa - super important as COP27 begins!

@ResearchCcg @Ariane_lis @EnergyMinK @imperialcollege @EconomiaBo @FCDOResearch @FCDOGrowth @CyprusInstitute Looking for inspiring COP27 side event sessions? Look no further!

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

Surprising!

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

This is a 1 million tons per year scale CO2 injection well. So 1,000 of those would be sufficient for a gigaton per year, or about the scale of total CO2 storage by 2050 in the Net-Zero America E+ scenario. That seems less daunting than I had pictured in my mind...

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

@HannahEDaly Oh dear…

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

@StefanoMoret @ETH_en @snsf_ch Nice!

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

Heads up! Great postdoc job opportunity - for global impact energy systems modelling research - in a bright and friendly team - in a world leading university - in London! @ResearchCcg #CCG #energytwitter #energytransition #energyforall

@Peters_Glen @Siddhar28031625 Short term forcing of H2 could be much higher than 5-10 - that’s the 100 year GWP. With H2 it’s all about the rate of emissions, as opposed to cumulative emissions. Fortunately it’s a very energy dense fuel (by unit mass). I think it would need to be a very part of the mix!

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

Methane emissions per unit of energy are higher in biogas and biomethane supply chains than they are in oil and gas supply chains. But there is hope if BAT is used! Nice work @smrbkk @Wiccaoflight https://t.co/EgfE3ioRgd

[Adam Hawkes @ProfHawkes]

@HannahEDaly This is important! And getting polarised in a possibly unhelpful way. Development cannot trump climate, and climate cannot trump development. Either would be a disaster.

[Imperial College London @imperialcollege]

NEWS FLASH! It’s not a dislike of “hard maths” that puts girls off studying or pursuing careers in maths + physics.

It’s outdated and damaging stereotypes that close doors on many talented girls and women.

Ready to hear about some of our most inspiring women physicists?

One wonders why it has taken so long for this issue to be really recognised - despite the efforts of many - the UK’s residential energy efficiency farce of the past ~10 years!

[Imperial Policy Forum @imperial_forum]

Fantastic to see evidence from @Grantham_IC researcher @_neil_grant referenced in this @CommonsEAC letter on negative emission technologies.

🚨A thread (and report) on CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVALS🚨

Global focus has (rightly) been on emissions reductions, but this alone will not be enough for 1.5C, we need to start removing carbon from today.
