Work in offshore wind @thecarbontrust - interested in decarbonising energy, transport, etc. Like to spend my free time in wet and windy places

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

We're continuing to see quite remarkable rhetoric from UK govt ministers

Exchequer secretary says now is time to go "full steam ahead…away from fossil fuels". Notably, Whately also mentions energy efficiency -absent in recent Johnson article- as well as renewables & nuclear

@TKMaxxHelp Thanks Lauren, that would be appreciated - this is the Purley Way shop.

Morning view outside @TKMaxx_UK.. that plastic blows down the streets into the local parks and rivers. How does this fit with your environmental policies (https://t.co/0kARRhXlnb)?

[Dan Kyle Spearman @Dan_K_S]

@ClemCowton Some good reading in this thread! I’m not yet convinced and I believe anything that can be electric will be, as it’s the primary energy source. If return efficiency can be improved significantly-losses from electricity to hydrogen and back for storage-then it becomes interesting.

@DFDSUKUpdates The Newhaven to Dieppe ferry

[Dan Kyle Spearman @Dan_K_S]

@DFDSUKUpdates Hi Jake, we are booked on the 10.00 ferry tomorrow morning but we don't know if COVID testing will be provided on departure. Is it possible to move our booking until Thursday otherwise?

Great to see UK government announce its Green Industrial Revolution - incl offshore wind, hydrogen, EVs, low carbon shipping, among others!

Also recommend Simon Evans' thread breaking this down, perfect with a coffee!

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

++NEW++

Boris Johnson 10point UK plan for "green industrial revolution" is out

by 2030
🚗petrol/diesel ban
🌬️40GW offshore
🔋"aim" for 5GW hydrogen
🏭4 CCS clusters

++
⚛️�� for big/small nuclear
🏠heat pump target, retrofit £
++more

Is it a lot? ✅
Enough for net-zero? ❌

Last Friday was my last day at Carbon Trust - has been surreal leaving virtually but hopefully leaving drinks some time in the future will make it real!

It has been an amazing 6 years working closely with the offshore wind developers and the technology…https://t.co/iWVYf86IbL

Our recent report projects 70GW of floating wind by 2040– any comments on our projections?

South Korea is heating up but plenty of competition in other markets; Scotland, France, US and Japan, among others.

Record update! 🔔

Wednesday morning saw another new high for the share of #wind on the system.

At 1.30am on August 26 wind power made up 59.9% (14.2GW) of Britain's #electricity.

Some insight into what we are working on in the Floating Wind JIP - looking into the technology challenges to support its commercialisation

We are projecting 70GW of floating wind by 2040, a technology that will be key to the energy transition

NEW: Read the latest in-depth summary report from the Floating Wind JIP with new market analysis and findings on tech challenges including: turbine modifications for floating, heavy lift operations, dynamic export cables and monitoring & inspection. #floatingwind #buildbackbetter

[reNEWS @reNEWS_]

Globally 70GW of floating wind could be installed by 2040, according to a forecast by the @thecarbontrust https://t.co/LFho4y4xYp

[Nathan Bennett @nathansbennett]

So much Govt could do to respond to this public demand:

✅Lift capacity caps for onshore & offshore wind at next year's CfD auction
✅Outline a strategy to address the barriers to building the Govt target of 40GW of offshore wind
✅Support floating wind & marine development 1/4

Yesterday was the lowest carbon day in Great Britain’s electricity history, averaging at 61g CO2/kWh vs the previous record of 76g set on 17 August 2019.
