@EU_H2020 REINVENT: Realising Innovation in Transitions for Decarbonisation (dec2016-2020). Roads towards low-carbon industry. Tweets by contributing partners.
Everything you wanted to know about #decarbonisation, but were afraid to ask... in 15 questions! We are thrilled to launch our decarbonisation portal – browse, explore, enjoy… REINVENT! https://t.co/cVTiJEiWpP
🆕‼️ While we wait for IPCC AR6 WG3 to drop on our doormat, get into the transformative change spirit by reading @harrietbulkeley et al.’s latest #OA short book on #Decarbonising#Economies. Core 🔎 on #what, #whom & #when in🥩🥛🏭 industries: https://t.co/n5Z5jMwwwt
“I was nervous at first, as this was really out-of-box thinking, but the guide has been very well received by industry[...]This is a new way of talking to industry, and for them to think about the future.”—Good summary of our work on #RoughPlanetNotterdam
Becoming climate-neutral by 2050 ♻️🇪🇺
This transition is essential if we want to limit #GlobalWarming & avoid catastrophic #ClimateChange. 🌍
These 14 #EUfunded research projects offer pathways for achieving the #EUGreenDeal objectives.

'How the fictitious city of Notterdam is guiding heavy industry to decarbonisation' – REINVENT's results in brief, based on an interview with Lars J Nilsson.

‼️Decarbonising hard-to-abate industries‼️ @Kreml, Lars Nilsson and I assess the feasibility (and possible positive/negative influences on this) of archetypal pathways for four industries: meat&dairy, plastics, steel, pulp&paper.

This was a very fun article to write with @frankjotzo & Lars Nilsson, as part of a special issue on net-zero in ECC https://t.co/Y2K3TAIeap @JEBistline@inesliaz Free download in the tweet below, and some thoughts .... 1/n
Plastics is a domain with a strong and growing fossil lock-in, exacerbated by the recent investment rush. 88 new projects for production expansion were announced in 2012-2019. It's time for policy to include downstream focus – F. Bauer & G. Fontenit argue. https://t.co/0AhXuWqkJn
13 researchers (incl. our very own @valenvogl, @AhmanMax & Lars J Nilsson) argue that
1) a new coal mine is not compatible with UK’s legal obligations on climate change
2) coal from the mine is not needed for steelmaking, and will hinder efforts to decarbonise the steel
industry.
Great paper from @bvanveelen on our @REINVENT_EU project work examining not just where green finance flows but where it lands and why this matters for the kinds of low carbon transitions we will get @MatPaterson @HoffmannMatt @StacyDVanDeveer@ESG_Project@PeterJNewell_
New paper: 'Cash cows? Assembling low-carbon agriculture through green finance.' By considering how resources are assembled for "green" investment, I tackle the questions: where does green finance land? why there? and with what implications for climate mitigation? Key findings:
I know academics overuse the word 'delighted', but I genuinely am delighted to appear alongside Kelly Kay in Thursday's RSA seminar - where we'll be talking about the role of finance in sustainability transitions. @REINVENT_EU
Two research posts in the politics/policy of climate change, as part of DeepDCarb ('the democratic challenge of deep decarbonization') project, based at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (University of East Anglia).

Two social scientists wanted for 5 years @TyndallCentre@ueaenv@CAST_Centre. DeepDCarb interrogates the evolving relationship between politicians, citizens, business, others. Deadline 08/01/2021 https://t.co/cLIwFOJ48r #postdoc#jobs
Looks like there's a new wave of climate governance in town as 'hard to reach' sectors like steel and meat come into the frame ... luckily @REINVENT_EU has been working on this for the past four years and has some great insights on the opportunities and challenges ahead.
