Teneo’s Post

Darn, two posts now, this is becoming a habit. Johan Rockström: The tipping points of climate change — and where we stand https://lnkd.in/griiJEhK When your government walks back oil and gas exploration bans, introduces fast track bills that potentially put profit ahead of the environment, would like to roll back improved building insulation standards, disregards mass solar rollout in favour of importing Liquid Natural Gas, etc, etc; you need to question their motives and their understanding of what is at stake. This TED talk is a stark warning that we need to be making the right moves now, time is running out.

In the last decade, liquid gas has helped transition very significant oil dependent businesses to cleaner, lower carbon energy efficient solutions. The next iteration of the Climate Action Plan must broaden its approach to decarbonising rural Ireland in particular.

This image from The Guardian is a collage of ads from Big Oil companies to address #climatechange. If you’ve read #TheCarbonAlmanac, you’ll remember an internal Exxon report from 1982 which accurately predicts the impacts of climate change that we are seeing today. So Big Oil was aware. And yet they developed (and continue to develop) ads designed to create confusion and deflect responsibility away from their products, which are major contributors to climate change. See the ads in full, along with interesting background notes in the following article: https://lnkd.in/dFWh-eyx #FactsConnectionAction

Today's joint report demonstrates that Big Oil continues to conceal the facts about their business model and obscure the actual dangers of fossil fuels, including natural gas, in order to block the climate action we need. https://lnkd.in/gvqbMUpx

Are you curious about Germany's coal phase-out trajectory and how the country plans to replace coal energy by 2038? Then check out the insightful video by Solutions for Our Climate (기후솔루션) posted below ⤵️ 📽️ Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/e69xU2pU For those interested in a deeper dive, we also recommend our recent study on the coal phase-out in Germany and Korea. This study explores the current policy framework for a coal phase-out in Germany and Korea, as well as the challenges and opportunities that a just transition away from coal presents for both countries. 📘 Read our study here: https://lnkd.in/gZi2wVPH #coalexit #energysecurity #energytransition

Check out the latest podcast from American Resilience Project with Richard Keiser of Common Energy on how the best climate solution we can implement now is using federal land to accelerate #CleanEnergy generation and transmission. Richard offers an engaging historical perspective on how we got to the point of having such an unwieldy national power system, and how we can create the amount of clean electricity needed to limit the worst effects of the climate crisis.

From today’s FT ‘The world is in an ‘’energy addition phase’’ where the consumption of renewables and fossil fuels is increasing’ says BP’s Chief Economist How can this be in any way be consistent with global climate goals?

The deadline for EU countries to submit their National Energy and Climate Plans was over two weeks ago – but several countries have yet to submit plans to meet the EU’s ambitious 2030 climate goals. To get a sense of what plans could look like, we’re looking back at our 2023 EU energy systems modeling, which analyzed different pathways for each EU nation to meet its climate goals and remain competitive in a net-zero future. https://lnkd.in/e_kFSg7P

Excited to share this first-of-its-kind partnership between Workday and Tradewater as part of our multi-year offtake agreement with Patch. Did you know there's an estimated one million❗ undocumented orphaned oil and gas wells in the U.S., many leaking methane, carcinogens and other toxic gases? We're helping to address the negative climate impacts from leaking orphaned oil and gas wells, a serious but often overlooked source of methane emissions.

Question: Is Direct Air Capture a Climate Savior or a Distraction? Answer: it's a distraction and a fig leaf that is being used by oil & gas companies to justify continued operations well into the future. See the excellent and balanced discussion by Rosemary Barnes in her recent video.
