FORESIGHT Climate & Energy’s Post

🎥 Check out the recording of the ManagEnergy Talk! Hans Rhein, Head of Unit at CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, took stock of all the things achieved in these 4 years of EU Green Deal and questioned the challenges ahead. According to Hans, "the technological solutions to drive the energy transition are available. The question is: is it enough? Are we going fast enough? Are we able to turn the tide?" 💡 Watch the recording of this inspiring event! Full version: https://buff.ly/3KWLrtZ #EUSEW2024

Here’s todays 15 minutes on essential updates on the big stories you need to follow. ⚡️ In today’s episode of The Jolt, Sean looks into how locally-produced power could offer solutions to some of the energy transition’s challenges, plus Albania and Italy decide to build a new power link View Full Episode Here: https://lnkd.in/eRm7gEGX Brought to you by your hosts: FORESIGHT Policy Editor Sam Morgan [https://lnkd.in/eVSrj3RZ] and Climate and Energy Reporter Kira Taylor [https://lnkd.in/eBBiHi_7], all with a global view and expert analysis.

Thanks a lot Sean Carroll for the opportunity to talk on my very first podcast. Of course about that what passions me: energy democracy and how citizen cooperatives can be a costfree tool for a more just transition. Why and if this energy transition is needed is a question of science. Politics should be limited to how. Mixing these two is a deliberate strategy to underutilise the decentralised nature of renewable technology, to keep energy and power clustered.

How Trump Will Roll Back Climate and Energy Policy on Day One There are 50 to 100 expected executive orders on Trump’s first day in office. Many will focus on boosting fossil fuels and reversing climate policy. https://lnkd.in/eV3VAdHQ #ClimateChange #ClimatePolicy #EnergyPolicy #Trump #FossilFuels #ClimatePolicyRollbacks #ClimateAgenda

Today, I had the privilege of listening to John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy, speak at Third Way as he marked the second anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA represents the largest investment in climate and clean energy in American history. During the event, I learned about the numerous state-level programs available to help make homes more energy-efficient. Curious about what your state offers? Check out how you can benefit from these energy efficiency programs here and explore the resources available through the Inflation Reduction Act here: Energy Efficiency Programs by State: https://lnkd.in/e2Y8XP_N Inflation Reduction Act Resources: https://lnkd.in/ejDefCyM

Looking forward to discuss how to finance building decarbonisation in the EU and the role of the ETS2 next Tuesday. For all interested, here is our related work on prices in the ETS2 (https://lnkd.in/d6ztyx97) and the necessity to rethink the role of efficiency (https:/https://lnkd.in/duQNEcZa) and, last but not least, the need to have better data (https://lnkd.in/diDEv-jx).

Week #32: how is the carbon capture and removal market doing? ☁ In this week's post you'll find news and insights on the CDR market: how it has evolved over the last years, who is building in the space, and some hints about what lies ahead. Click below to read the full story 👇

Recent U.S. legislation and appropriations have created a paradigm shift in the policy landscape for clean energy and climate technologies. They have more than doubled the federal resources dedicated to promoting climate pollution; moved more towards carrots than regulatory sticks; and focused on domestic content and production rather than free trade policy principles. You can read more about this in Energy Strategy Reviews (coauthored with Georgia Tech School of Public Policy PhD student Niraj Palsule and alumnus Jeff Hubbs): https://lnkd.in/eFTGSaGk This rapid paradigm shift underscores the need for expedited energy system analysis and forecasting. We develop an innovative approach that enables timely updates by deploying a combination of modeling and expert consultations. Applying this to a case study, we estimate that this the U.S. policy shift could enable Georgia’s emissions to drop by 49% (a 2019 estimate) to 57% (updated estimate) in 2030 relative to 2005. Utility-scale solar and electric cars are significant contributors. Nature-based and behavioral solutions, on the other hand, are likely to fall short of prior expectations, but their technical and long-term potentials remain robust. All 20 of Drawdown Georgia's climate solutions remain pivotal.
