Merci a @enedis_paris et aux @PompiersParis d'avoir installé dans l'urgence et au milieu de la nuit un générateur de secours suite aux intempéries. Grâce à eux, l'école maternelle de ma fille a pu ouvrir normalement ce matin. Reconnaissant et admiratif! @FrancoisDagnaud

These are exciting times

[Michael Terrell @michael_terrell]

Pleased to see @USCleanPower engage in the debate about what constitutes “clean” hydrogen but it’s disappointing to see them recommend allowing annual clean energy matching through 2042. Using annual matching instead of hourly will lead to huge increases in CO2 for decades. (1/)

[Marc Oman @Marc_Oman]

Europeans need to ensure the environmental integrity of renewable hydrogen, in order to help decarbonize the continent's economies. https://t.co/2bZ77ErbsG

An excellent summary of expected tensions in European energy grids this winter.

Can Europe keep the lights on this winter? https://t.co/Tw2DeHlDmy

[Marc Oman @Marc_Oman]

Exciting new energy modeling research results from @nworbmot and his colleagues at Technical University Berlin on system-level impacts of hourly carbon-free electricity matching ("24/7").

[Tom Brown @nworbmot]

🚨 New 24/7 report for Europe! 🚨

Companies moving from *annual* to *hourly* clean power matching get:

- lower emissions for them *and* system

- reduced backup needs for system

- only small cost premium for 90-95% hourly matching

- stimulation of new tech for final 5-10%

This is the single best energy interview I have listened to in years. It breaks down why decarbonization is so important, what it will take and how to think about the global political context in which this transformation needs to happen.

[Carbon Direct @Carbon_Direct]

Wondering what decarbonization really means for stopping #climate change? Listen as @JesseJenkins explains to @EzraKlein how to #decarbonize the world and how the Inflation Reduction Act helps put us on the right path. https://t.co/KJ7qeIuYvh

Un panel d'experts pour comprendre la crise énergétique que nous traversons en Europe, des risques pour les industriels et des leviers pour y faire face. Merci à Confrontations Europe pour l'invitation à cette discussion importante. https://t.co/BXMRJy9k8D

So much for today. If you liked this thread and think it might be useful for others to learn about this topic, consider retweeting the first tweet. Thanks a lot for your interest! 🙏

24/7 carbon-free energy comes one step closer with @energy_tag's freshly published #GranularCertificate guidelines & standards.

These will improve energy traceability, enable consumer choice and unlock new market models for #RES

@corradio Both concepts (additionality, avoided CO2e) would help bring more transparency to the GO/REC market. I would favor starting with the simplest (additionality labeling, for e.g. does the underlying plant any receive gvt subsidies?) and then work on the latter.

Google flights will start showing people the carbon footprint of their flights. Talking with @lourdesgnavarro on @NPRWeekend, I offer 2 reasons why this is a good idea -- and 1 reason it's not! https://t.co/q0XbOjzGQa

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

We need urgent action to move the world towards a carbon-free future. Glad to join @SEforALLorg and @UN in launching a 24/7 carbon-free energy compact to drive collective action to tackle climate change. #UNGA https://t.co/O47w4nVWIR

Really good one this week on @InterchangeShow. I dug in deep with @michael_terrell, who leads @Google's 24/7 clean energy strategy, about what it's going to take to reach the time-matched, zero-carbon promised land https://t.co/084LjeuIt6
