🌍 PATHFINDING WITH THE WORLD ENERGY TRILEMMA Our 4th thematic will cover the World Energy Trilemma, connecting the dots between security, affordability and sustainability. Delve into evolving dimensions, discovering new metrics for modern energy access, fairness, affordability, and climate resilience challenges. Who leads in managing trade-offs and leveraging synergies? 🔄 CLOSING THE GAPS 5th thematics: Enabling faster, fairer, and more far-reaching energy transitions. We'll be exploring policy and institutional innovation implications in accelerating decarbonisation with fairness and inclusion. What are we learning about how new energy ecosystems are driving impact at speed and scale? There has never been a more important time for conversations and action. Join us in Rotterdam for #WEC2024 👉 https://lnkd.in/epah2gRN #RedesigningEnergy

Unlocking a sustainable future starts with #CleanEnergy – it's the heartbeat of two-thirds of the 169 SDG targets. 🌱 On this first-ever #WorldCleanEnergyDay, let's power change together and pave the way for a brighter, greener world! 💡🌍 To learn more, read this https://zurl.co/1INX Happy International Day of Clean Energy. #EnergyForAll #Roadto2030 #SDG7

Energy is an input to almost all economic activities. Increasing energy access drive economic growth. @ Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) we work to drive the achievement of SDG 7 through #clean energy.Happy international clean energy day.

It's a long and windy path from feasibility of carbon removal in the lab to commercial-scale operation. Despite increasingly urgent calls from the IPCC for expansion of carbon removal, the number of commercial-scale operating systems has hardly budged in the last six years, according to this slide from Nat Bullard's climate deck last week. The good news is that there’s a well worn playbook for scaling climate tech adoption and we’ve seen it work again and again with renewables: financial incentives move markets. Research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) last year estimated that durable carbon removal will need on the order of ~$200B in investment to reach a threshold for wide-scale adoption. I estimate that government tax incentives, prizes, and research grants are collectively driving around $2-3B/yr right now into the durable carbon removal industry. Meanwhile, there is one carbon capture solution that is already operating at gigaton scale: nature. 🔗 to article in comments And a big shoutout to Jim Giles who pointed out that slide amidst the stack of 200! #cdr #climatefinance #climatesolutions

The best way to give Europe its excellence and its competitiveness back is to modernise it and make it more efficient, thanks to renewable energies and cleantech.  That's why we're launching 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟯.𝟬: 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 ! For whoever wins the #EUelections2024 and whoever will have to deal with the #EUGreenDeal, this manifesto shows that the ecological transition will be an advantage for all political currents.

The Global Status of CCS: 2023 is set to launch tomorrow at 9 a.m. (US) and 4 pm (Europe) and then again 12 pm in Australia. This status unveils an extraordinary diversity of facilities across industries, geographies, geologies, and technological landscapes. The depth and breadth of this global effort are truly exceptional. In a year of "unprecedented", the count and capacity of these facilities are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. The commitment to carbon capture and storage as an industry is paving the way for a sustainable future. Join us tomorrow for the release of The Global Status of CCS: 2023 and stay at the forefront of climate solutions.

As our planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges, green bonds are paving the way for a sustainable future. These innovative financial instruments channel funds into projects that mitigate climate change, promote renewable energy and enhance environmental quality. Imagine a world powered by wind, solar, and clean transportation—green bonds make this vision a reality. 🌍💚 Learn how green bonds finance the transition to a sustainable economy and why they matter more than ever. #GreenBonds #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CleanTransport #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #SustainableFinance #GreenFuture #InvestInThePlanet #ESGInvesting https://lnkd.in/ds2YNCzB

We're onsite at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Workshop on Transforming Industry: Strategies for Decarbonization, where DOE is soliciting input on strategies to decarbonize the industrial sector--a key goal to address both climate concerns and economic competitiveness. Energetics, led by Kenta Shimizu, is facilitating breakout sessions to gather stakeholder input from across sectors. Below, Samuel Gage facilitates the session on #hydrogen, and Tracy Evans leads the session on #EnergyEfficiency. https://lnkd.in/eawVQ6xn. #Facilitation #Decarbonization #IndustrialDecarbonization

My 2023 Wrapped This year, I had the opportunity to attend the #CleanEnergyConference, which truly put into perspective many things we often take for granted. From carbon credits to electric vehicles (EV), clean energy has now become a critical piece of energy policy as countries struggle with the effects of climate change. The transition to sustainable practices not only mitigates environmental damage but also fosters innovation, job creation, and global collaboration, signaling a paradigm shift towards a more resilient and ecologically responsible future. As governments worldwide embrace renewable technologies and implement stringent emissions targets, the clean energy revolution stands poised to reshape economies, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and forge a path towards a greener, more sustainable world. #cleanenergy #renewableenergy
