One of the biggest challenges for #solar and #wind is integrating more renewable energy into the power system. How can we do this effectively? #renewableenergy #cleanenergy
To encourage the buildout of renewables, we need strong financial incentives. Finding the right mechanisms is crucial for a successful energy transition. #renewableenergy #financialincentives
Impressive! #Denmark consistently meets 85% of its weekly energy needs from #renewables. They are leading the way in sustainable energy production. #cleanpower

1/ Solar power is one of the most popular alternative #energy options for households.
It's easy to install and maintain, and can significantly reduce your electricity bills. #solarenergy #gogreen ⤵️

2/ Wind power is another great #alternativeenergy option for households.
Small-scale #windturbines can be installed on your property and generate #electricity for your home. #windpower #cleanenergy ⤵️

Good chart to study: cost per MWh of #energy. Grey and orange balls are wind and solar; dark grey is gas; black is coal. Economic advantage of #renewables in most countries is stunning.

Put simply, renewables received their biggest yearly improvement in competitiveness in history in 2022.... the bulk of the boost coming from the eye-wateringly high fossil fuel prices we're dealing with in 2022.
#Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2021 from @IRENA is out
The headline isn't quite what you'd expect:
The global weighted average cost of new #solar #photovoltaics (#PV), onshore and offshore #WindPower projects fell in 2021.
Despite rising equp. costs.

@IRENA 1st up the data:
Year on year change:
⬇️LCOE of onshore wind projects added in 2021 fell by 15%, year-on-year, to USD 0.033/kWh
⬇️ Utility-scale solar PV and offshore wind LCOE fell by 13% year-on-year to USD 0.048/kWh & USD 0.075/kWh respectively
⬆️ CSP up 7% though

@IRENA This is despite rising equipment costs from the end of 2020, albeit unevenly.
Solar PV module prices in Europe up modestly in 2021, but looking to be 20% or more higher in 2022, given underlying materials and shipping cost increases, but perhaps more (more on that later...)

“We looked at the price of #coal over 140 years. Mines are much more sophisticated, the technology for locating new deposits is much better. Prices have not come down.”

🔋 The demand for #copper from the #GreenEnergy sector could almost quadruple by 2030.
The rapid global transition to environmentally friendly generation increases #NorilskNickel's revenue. The copper business brings 26% of the company's revenue.

Now the demand from the #GreenEnergy sector is 1.4 million tons annually. By 2030, the aggregate demand for #copper may grow by 20% - up to 5.4 million tons.

Transition to green power generation is impossible without #copper. Copper is high-capacity conductor of #electricity, used in #SolarPanels, hydro and #windpower plants. These #renewableenergy systems require 12 times more copper than traditional ones. #solarenergy
As federal action on climate change is deadlocked, again, states have moved ahead.
Still, major obstruction efforts slow, stop, or even reverse progress.

Open access! Here's a thread with some key findings. /2
First, states are remarkable venues for social science of #climate struggles: 50 contexts, with different dependencies on #fossilfuel extraction, #vulnerability, and cultural/political context. Industries and activists battle on 50 different stages with different rules. (RPSs)/3
#Climate needs #electrification AND #hydrogen.
Both compete for #renewableelectricity, policy and infrastructure support. Policy makers have to take decisions, secure expectations, avoid further fossil lock-in

#efuels(right) replace fossils without the end-use transformation required by (direct) #electrification(left)
This promises to make combustion technologies and fossil infrastructure part of the climate solution;
yet, shifting the burden to the supply side has limitations…

#Efuels require 2 – 14 times more (renewable) electricity than a direct #electrification (e.g. electric cars are five times more efficient)
Remember, (growing) renewable power capacity is far from fully meeting only today’s electricity demand.
(no regret: #renewableexpansion)

THREAD: In 2005, the official Annual Energy Outlook saw power sector CO2 rising from 2,400 to 3,000 MMT by 2020. But actual emissions fell to 1,450 MMT, 52% below projected levels. A new @BerkeleyLab report looks at how we got “halfway to zero.” emp.lbl.gov/publications/h… 1/11
The biggest change was drastically less demand for electricity, due in part to sectoral and economic changes, but also to greater energy efficiency driven by policies and technology advancement. Instead of rising by 24% it was dead flat. 2/11
And as demand stayed flat, cheaper natural gas from the shale gas revolution combined with the rapid growth of wind and solar power to squeeze out coal. Some nuclear retirements were offset by greater output at existing plants. 3/11

Truly amazing global #smartenergysystems news!
Power 2 X upscaled big time before expected time.
- 1 GW electrolysis connected to #offshorewind from 2026
- 600.000 tons of green ammonia
- #districtheating for about 9.000 households in @EsbjergKommune and @vardekommune

- Europe's biggest green ammonia plant. Gigantic European upscaling potential.
- saves 1.5 mio tons of CO2 (most likely to be accounted in the Dutch carbon books)
- game changer in size and first mover in that scale, within the five biggest globally

- flexible ~50 percent operation time ensures completely green electricity
- can completely replace fossil fuel (natural gas) based fertilizer in Danish agriculture
- the upscaling means fast track for other power2X products: methanol, DME, plastics

There's a seriously big turnout for climatologist David Phillips tonight at @NLGEOCENTRE. Let's hope he does some real talk on #climatechange. He's already given a pitch for #yyt + #windpower
Plenty of chuckles from the crowd about our crummy weather (wettest... windiest... etc) stats #nlwx
David talks about the transition
1) global warming
2) climate change
What's next? 3) atmospheric terrorism
