[Mission Innovation @MICleanEnergyRD]

The Insights Module of MI’s Innovation Platform launched the #ThinkTank process to deliver a programme of member-driven workshops and events that will foster #knowledgesharing and the exchange of best-practices between members today. #CEM14MI8

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

9 years in the making, yesterday's #IPCC 6th assessment report synthesises a 6000-page (?) summary of climate and related sciences, and is arranged around 18 'headline statements'

I'm going to try and summarise it in 18 plain-language tweets 😬

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Today's staggering new @IEA renewable forecast in numbers:

🌄76% more growth than thought 2yrs ago
⏩more growth in next 5yrs than last 20
🌞solar GW overtakes gas, coal by 2027
📈renewables to add 3,900TWh (=🇪🇺+🇯🇵)
🏭saves 4GtCO2 (if offsetting coal)

[Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 @JonathanWNV]

Today I attended the @BreakthroughEnergy Innovation Summit at @cop26uk, highlighting the importance of public and private sector collaboration to accelerate clean energy innovation.

[Mission Innovation @MICleanEnergyRD]

Today, @Breakthrough Energy and #MissionInnovation announced plans to expand our impact together. 👏 Public and private partnerships are essential if we are to drive down the costs of the solutions needed to reach our global climate targets. 🌏

[Mission Innovation @MICleanEnergyRD]

Supported by @ClimateWorks @FCDOGovUK the Global Innovation Needs Assessments (GINAs) published today is the first global assessment of the business case and public benefits of investments in innovation to achieve #netzero.

[Natural Resources @NRCan]

We’re looking to support Front-End Engineering and Design studies for carbon capture, utilization and storage projects with the potential to significantly reduce emissions.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

Mission Innovation brings the public and private sectors together to develop clean technologies.

🇨🇦 more than doubled our investments in clean energy RD&D since 2015.

And today we all doubled down on renewables and hydrogen.

This is how we get to net-zero. 🇨🇦

[Althia Raj @althiaraj]

Supreme Court in to 6-3 ruling upholds the federal carbon pricing regime, says Ottawa has the right to set minimum standards for greenhouse gas emissions. Justice Brown (Harper appointee) and Rowe (appointed by Trudeau) disagree fundamentally. J. Côté partial disagrees.

[Natural Resources @NRCan]

Global demand for #CriticalMinerals is increasing. Today, we announced the Canadian Critical Minerals List, which includes 31 minerals that can build valuable manufacturing supply chains.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

We need critical minerals for clean technologies, from solar panels to EV batteries.

And 🇨🇦 has lots of them. 31 to be exact.

Today I released the list of minerals that are critical to lowering emissions.

Critical minerals get us to net-zero. 🇨🇦
