A car powered by seaweed? ⚡

🌿 Sargassum algae has harmed the Caribbean for years.

At the EU-Caribbean #GlobalGateway Sargassum Conference, we’re turning it into opportunity.

For example: In Barbados, EU-funded @rumandsargassum is using it for biogas in cars like this one 👇

@pattycheese88 @__playboibunny Great Question @pattycheese88
Yes, we powered a generator that charged the EV

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

No, COP28 will not enable us to hold the 1.5°C limit, but yes, the result is a pivotal land-mark. It makes clear to finance, business and societies that we are now finally - 8 years behind Paris schedule - at the beginning of the end of the fossil-fuel driven world economy (1/4).

#Barbados will launch construction of its first biogas service station this week.

Small step for this start-up.
Big potential for the #Caribbean region.

New report from @ETC_energy suggests that significant supply gaps for lithium, nickel, graphite, cobalt, neodymium and copper could result in higher prices for these metals and hinder efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

[Energy Transitions Commission @ETC_energy]

Our new report on #MaterialsAndResources finds there are plentiful #CriticalMinerals to meet demand from the energy transition, powered by clean electricity.

Our analysis also identifies opportunities for innovation and recycling, to reduce requirements.
