Was rather chuffed to hear the Net Zero Australia report being referred to alongside IEA and IPCC work on ABC PM yesterday (10 May at 9:18)! Well done everyone who contributed to the Net Zero Australia Report!! (Steerco Michael Brear Robin Batterham Richard Bolt Simon Smart Chris Greig, with full team listed in the Results - link below) PS Timing is everything - I'm speaking on the role of gas in the energy transition at the International Gas Research Conference next week in Banff. My summer project was to take a diagonal slice though the NZAu results and write a paper on the changing role of gas and challenges for the existing value chain in Australia. Gas can play a legitimate role on the transition but needs to be carefully navigated to support pathways to net zero.

At the HEA we are at the forefront of political conversation on hydrogen, keeping our sector at the forefront of the energy debate and making sure that we have the best possible policy framework in place, particularly to support further clean growth and jobs. This week our CEO Celia Greaves has meetings with Lord Callanan, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green Finance) at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Milliband, Shadow Secretary of State of Climate Change and Net Zero, and Chi Onwurah MP, Shadow Minister for Science, Research and Innovation. These discussions are among many planned for this key year for hydrogen. https://lnkd.in/edPgu3Cb #HEA #HydrogenEnergy #EnergyDebate #CleanGrowth #GreenFinance #ClimateChange #NetZero #ScienceAndInnovation #EnergySecurity #PoliticalConversation Jon Duffy Abdul Kamara

Go read this. It explains what those scheming to remove our hydroelectric dams do not seem to understand: hydropower is the foundation of our clean energy grid. Without it, we can't keep your lights on - especially during extreme weather!.

It's not every day a Press Gallery journalist describes your work as a "breath of fresh air in a tired, stale argument." 💪 Read The Australian Financial Review's Jacob Greber's analysis of our big policy ask - universal financing for household electrification, the Electrify Everything Loan Scheme (EELS) - and why "the bold idea lands squarely in a political sweet spot where all sides have an incentive to lean-in rather than trash." #energy #cleanenergy #politics #climate https://lnkd.in/g5-KXs9H

Here's some fabulous news from south of the border! WHEREAS, Affordable, reliable energy is essential to American and human prosperity because it gives us the ability to use machines to become productive and prosperous; and more affordable and reliable American energy leads to a better economy, a lower cost of living, more well-paid job opportunities, a smaller deficit, and greater national security; WHEREAS, Fossil fuels are and for the foreseeable future will remain a uniquely affordable, reliable, scalable, and secure source of energy—the only source that can provide plentiful energy to billions of people in thousands of places; WHEREAS, Energy poverty is a crucial problem at home and abroad, affecting tens of millions of Americans and billions worldwide, including the three billion individuals who survive daily on less electricity than a household refrigerator; WHEREAS, Fossil fuel energy gives us an unprecedented ability to protect ourselves from the climate, driving down climate disaster deaths by 98% over the last century by powering the technology that protects us against storms, extreme temperatures, and drought; Courtesy of Alex Epstein.
