My customary deep dive on @IEA #WEO22

⏩Energy transition "turbo charged" by Russia's war
⛰️Fossil fuels to peak by 2027
❤️‍🔥Peak gas: "Golden age of gas" is over
🌄Solar outlook +20% vs last yr; wind +15%
🌡️Warming 2.5C (1.7C if pledges met)

The world is finally set to decouple GDP from fossil fuel use & CO2 emissions, after more than a century

The fossil fuel outlook has been transformed since Paris (grey-blue wedges in the chart)

Even since last yr the shift is dramatic (thanks Vlad)

The global energy crisis is having major impacts that will reverberate for decades, the IEA says

And it's clear that high fossil fuel prices triggered by Russia's war are the reason

European TTF MA gas price in Sep22 was 24x (!) higher than in Sep20

(1) The @IEA's World Energy Outlook 2022 is out! #WEO22

The report highlights harmful venting and flaring that, if stopped, could positively contribute to energy security in a time of crisis.

Here are some key takeaways 👇
(2) The annual capacity of #Nordstream1 leaked every year

Flaring, venting and leaks are wasting gas that could be exported to the EU, at a rate equivalent to a year's capacity of the Nord Stream I pipeline. That’s 1/3 of the total gas Europe received from Russia in 2021 🤯
(3) Capturing emissions provides energy

Of the 260 billion cubic meters (bcm) of fossil gas that was flared, vented or leaked in 2021, nearly 210 bcm could have been used by gas markets by ending non‐emergency flaring and reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations.

For the first time in its history, the @IEA sees #fossilfuel demand peaking across all of its projections including the “business as usual” (STEPS) scenario. What does it mean for geoeconomics & geopolitics of the global #energytransition? A🧵1/13 iea.org/reports/world-…
The dependency on #fossilfules is a risk to economic resilience & energy security inherent to the currently dominant economic models. High #coal, #oil and #gas prices have knock-on effects beyond energy systems reliability & fuel the global #polycrisis. 2/13
#EU, #UK, #Japan and others embedded a fatal vulnerability into their growth models as they bet on boosting #gas intensity of their economies post Global #Oilcrisis in the 1970s. Now they are forced to pay a high price for this oversight. 3/13

Governments around the world are responding to the crisis by doubling down on clean energy – in the US, EU, Japan, China, India & elsewhere

Their new policies are set to help global clean energy investment rise above $2 trillion a year by 2030, an increase of over 50% from today
