Kelantan, Kedah dan lain² perlu manfaatkn musim kering utk tanam pokok (cepat tumbuh); bina & dalamkan kolam baru/sedia ada. Yg hampir sungai, alihkan sebahagian ke kolam berhampiran.
Jimatkan air. ♻️💧

Today and tomorrow, @G7 #Energy ministers meet in #Japan – a country, often considered a “laggard” on #energytransition. What is 🇯🇵’s energy system like and why is it so reluctant to step up #decarbonisation of its economy? A 🧵 1/19

env.go.jp/en/earth/g7/20…
The “usual” arguments by the 🇯🇵 government when confronted with lack of both action and ambition on #energytransition:
1. #Japan is resource-poor
2. Japan’s geography limits #renewables build-out
3. Technologies & Innovation will solve the transition

How true are they? 2/19
Japan is indeed poor in some resources, most notably #fossilfuels. Fossil fuel based, its energy system is 88% dependent on #oil, #LNG and #coal imports. It has one of the least self-sufficient energy systems, dependent on #oil & gas from #MiddleEast & #coal from #Australia. 3/19 ImageImage

3 confessions from #ClimateActivists & #ClimateEconomists seeking to tackle the #ClimateCrisis

We were wrong

-2 promise apple pie & motherhood sans costs
-2 repeat solar PV cheapest form of power sans caveats
-2 dismiss any trade-off between climate & development

#Thread
Back in the day those, including me, who worked on many different versions of the #greendeal all focused on the win-win scenarios ... #greenjobs #greengrowth #justtransition etc. and tho the context has changed completely this win-win farming remains even in the year 2023
Had we mobilised on a war-footing back then, invested at scale, imposed #carbontaxes, innovated like mad & massively increased financial & technological support 4 developing economies to shun coal & adopt #renewables, the #greendeal may have worked, albeit not without real costs

#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
Our paper offers guidance.

#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)

Out in @NatureClimate: We compiled 1,550 scenarios of #solarpv from peer-reviewed and influential grey literature and showed that uncertainty in global PV capacity by 2050 is largely associated with who, when and how created the scenarios

1/n Image
Over the past decade, scenarios projected values of #solarPV generation in 2050 from nearly zero to above 300 EJ yr−1, equivalent to capacity exceeding 60 TW Image
@IPCC_CH scenarios consistently projected lower #solarPV adoption pathways and higher capital costs than non-IPCC scenarios. We thus recommend increasing the diversity of models and scenario methods included in IPCC assessments

Final commissioning today by Darren from Vaillant @mark_vaillant for this #heatpump #solarpv setup. Few walkthrough videos...
This is the outdoor unit on its gravel base and fridge pipework boxed in along the fence through the garden. #heatpump
This is the pipework, indoor unit and buffer in a big cupboard in the hall. Should have hoovered up first, though 😉
