💡 #Energy is responsible for the majority of climate change-causing greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from the burning of #fossilfuels. Despite efforts to reduce these emissions, the trajectory of CO2 #emissions globally remains far higher than what is needed to avoid the worst effects of climate change. 💡 Note that numbers shown below refer to #CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in the energy sector. They do not include other important sources of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions such as methane leaks from oil and gas operations, which are more difficult to measure. 👉 The #GreenhouseGasEmissions from #EnergyDataExplorer has more complete estimates for most countries and regions. #IFMAEMEA #facilitymanagement #sustainability #climate

Phasing out fossil fuels is essential for limiting the rise in global temperatures and mitigating the most severe impacts of climate change. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to the warming of the planet and resulting in a wide range of adverse effects. Let all phase out fossil fuels as we transition to clean renewable energy sources. #climatechange #sustainableenergysolutions #climateaction #renewableenergy

🌍 Climate body CCC says cut electricity bills to boost heat pumps - BBC.com Hey everyone, did you catch this article from BBC about the Committee on Climate Change's recommendation to reduce electricity bills in order to encourage more households to switch to heat pumps? It's great to see these kinds of initiatives being suggested to help combat climate change. I think it's crucial for us to explore every avenue to make sustainable living more accessible and affordable. What are your thoughts on this? How do you think it could impact our approach to renewable energy and heating systems? Let's discuss and keep the conversation going! #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #SustainableLiving https://ift.tt/nfvq7P8

🌎Every action we take impacts our planet. The excessive use of fossil fuels has led to a surge in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. By shifting to renewable energy sources, we can significantly lower these emissions. Let's be the change we want to see! #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy 🌱

The World is in Danger! As I am involved in Climate Change industry, I got a better understanding regarding the positives and negatives of the human caused emissions. The major contributor being the Oil Industries, Coal Industries and the Manufacturing Industries. But, these Industries has been changing their strategies to encounter climate change with new projects and getting in the renewable energy space. At the same time, I believe we need to act fast. The first and foremost step is to measure. I challenge every connection, to calculate their own carbon footprint and see your own contribution to the climate change as an individual.

Energy and climate policy analyst focused on oil and gas methane emissions | Committed to driving meaningful change in support of Canada's energy transition
Good to see a focus on MRV in the Methane Centre of Excellence request for proposals - an area in which Canada has fallen behind U.S. and EU counterparts. Given limited funds, it will be important for this centre not to be a smattering of projects, but a coordinated effort to move Canada beyond estimation, toward measurement-based methane accounting.
Slashing methane emissions is one of the fastest and lowest- cost ways to fight climate change. In support of Canada’s Methane Centre of Excellence, we’re launching a call for proposals under NRCan’s Energy Innovation Program for projects that help measure or mitigate methane emissions. Applicants have until April 17 to submit a proposal. Read the applicant guide for more info: https://ow.ly/joI750QLHOO #methane

The Climate Clock's #RenewableEnergy lifeline has *finally* gone from 13% to 14%. 🌍️ It has risen by 2% since the Climate Clock began almost 4 years ago in 2020. We need a complete transition off fossil fuels and towards a just, renewable future. The clock is ticking. ⏰️

Please express your concerns about the Government of Alberta’s hydrogen plans. “A team of British researchers has found adding hydrogen to natural gas actually increases how much natural gas leaks from stove burners and boilers because the smaller hydrogen molecules help the larger methane ones escape.” Not only are 3-5% natural gas (methane) leaks a recipe for ever increasing emissions and an imminent threat to global warming due to methane’s 80 times warming potential (compared to CO2) but adding hydrogen will increase the leakage potential. Stop the hydrogen insanity. Use your voice. Let’s get Alberta moving towards renewable solutions. We are ☀️ and 🌬️ Alberta after all. #abpoli #ableg #duty #responsibility #liveable #future

In recent years, state and local officials across California have outlined plans for "clean" or "green" hydrogen to help achieve ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets. A new report from PSE Healthy Energy examines a range of current proposals and outlines important opportunities, challenges, and unknowns in using hydrogen to meet California’s #climate goals. https://lnkd.in/gRfSXHSG

Burning fossil fuels is the top driver of climate change, and despite our talk, emissions are still rising. 😔 But it's not just about where we get energy from; it's also about how much we use. Energy demand is skyrocketing at 2.8% yearly. At this rate, we'd need solar panels to blanket all dry land in 300 years to meet demand! 🌞 👉 https://buff.ly/45mBChr #ClimateChange #EnergyDemand
