The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that #renewableenergy will surpass coal globally by 2025. By 2026, renewable and nuclear energy will account for nearly half of the world’s power generation. This marks a significant shift towards cleaner #energy sources. At #GAFEnergy, we are proud to contribute to this global transition with our #TimberlineSolar energy shingles, turning roofs into a renewable energy source. ☀️ Read more from the Scientific American here: https://lnkd.in/e49dt3Ns Discover how we are helping to create a sustainable future!

Is Natural Gas a credible accelerator to a net-Zero future? During the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting 2024, esteemed panelists discussed this critical topic. Here are some key takeaways from the panel: - The panel debated natural gas’ credibility as an accelerator to net-zero, against other energy sources such as nuclear and renewables.  - The discussion covered how to ensure there is enough security of supply. - The panel concluded the conversation on natural gas reforming being an essential element to enhance hydrogen production, and how hydrogen can interplay with existing natural gas infrastructure based on each perspective.  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dADTZZ8h   #BHAM2024 #BakerHughes #NaturalGas #LNG #WeAreBakerHughes #EnergizingChange

Dive into the top four sustainability trends of 2024-2025, where renewable energy and nuclear power lead the march towards net zero, electric vehicles redefine transportation, the construction sector innovates for a lesser carbon footprint, and green hydrogen emerges as the game-changer in clean energy.

Clean Energy - Fossil Fuels 2:1 Actually $2 trillion to $1 trillion. The former number will fund renewables, electric vehicles, nuclear power, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency improvements and heat pumps. The latter is going to coal, gas and oil. These numbers are for the year 2024. In 2023, combined investment in renewable power and grids overtook the amount spent on fossil fuels for the first time. #cleanenergy #fossilfuels #netzero #carboncredits #renewableenergy Source - International Energy Agency (IEA)

With just 16 years left until 2040, the clock is ticking for European gas and the global energy landscape. How will the mix of gas, hydrogen, nuclear, and electric evolve in the next decade? What strategies will define our future carbon management and value chains? As we face these pivotal questions, #Flame 2024 invites you to dive deep into discussions about planning for natural gas’s challenging future, understanding the nuances of demand reduction versus destruction, and the impact of BRICS countries on global energy flows. 🚀 Hear from our conference experts as they explore whether long-term agreements are the key to securing supply amidst shifting demands and the transitioning energy mix.

European Power Greener Than Ever! In the first half of 2024, renewables surpassed 50% of total power generation in Europe. - Eurelectric’s ELDA data platform reports that 74% of EU electricity came from renewable and low-carbon sources. - Nuclear power provided a stable share of 24%. - Despite impressive supply-side growth, power demand remains low due to sluggish economic growth and deindustrialisation. - Eurelectric calls for a robust Electrification Action Plan to stimulate demand and ensure continued investments in clean energy. #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower #SustainableFuture #EUClimateTargets #RE24
