There's no BAU pathway on a dead planet

[Chris Bataille @bataille_chris]

Update to the https://t.co/usrN7IffAD project - we've added country factsheets for the these nations at https://t.co/uyUoEYqmie @IDDRI_English @mehansbrough @riamatic @sstiebert @fgnli #COP26 All published results are for our medium demand scenario - low & high avail on request.

[Chris Bataille @bataille_chris]

But seriously, this is the transformative demand pull needed to reset “best available technology” in the 2020s for steel & cement, such that all new production is clean in the 2030s. H/t @KWitecka cc @rebeccawdell @JaneAFlegal @TomasWyns @KhandekarGauri @valenvogl @dr_olsson 👏👏

Some of the best and most long term transformative news out of #COP26 @dan_rosenbloom

[Chris Bataille @bataille_chris]

Seriously, I’m proud of this “Net-zero steel is possible,but it means that by the end of this decade all new & retrofit facilities globally must be clean” As they say, “That’s it, that’s the tweet”. https://t.co/vWRWYAjsIS

@IEA This is still my favourite visual

[Chris Bataille @bataille_chris]

🧵To all and sundry, I'm very happy to announce the technical and policy results for https://t.co/usrN7IffAD are live! Starting with a global DB of steel facilities by @GlobalEnergyMon (🙏), we have produced nine separate net-zero scenarios for all steel producing regions 1/n

#Hydropower is expected to play a major role in achieving #Ecuador's #NDC, however key uncertainties threaten its potential. In their new paper, Pablo Carvajal and Francis Li @fgnli explore Ecuador #power scenarios to 2050 https://t.co/t451hUO9iM @UCL_Energy

There are at least two ways to escape from model-land - do you know what they are? https://t.co/EJc5DCnkGJ

We can be open to exposing the limits/weaknesses of our models, in order to preserve the credibility of science in decision-making. Overselling how informative today’s models are increases the risk that tomorrow’s (better) models are ignored.

If you like energy demand modelling (and who doesn't?) then this is a good, comprehensive read with many sound suggestions for future modelling endeavours

[Francis Li @fgnli]

@st_pye, high time we arranged for the team @UCL_Energy to get together with our colleagues at the @turinginst to see how we can take this forward https://t.co/z6SRo1V55R

[Joe DeCarolis @jfdecarolis]

New paper by @fgnli, @st_pye, @bataille_chris assesses the utility of big data in energy modeling. I look forward to reading it.

Energy modellers; so what do we do with energy data abundance instead of scarcity? Co-authored w/ @fgnli @st_pye & A.O’Sullivan “Prospects for energy economy modelling with big data: Hype, eliminating blind spots, or revolutionising the state of the art?“ https://t.co/2LuEkO1QcA
