Interesting report by @GreenAllianceUK exploring how #digitalsolutions are key to enabling businesses to reduce energy wastage & ensure buildings reach #netzero carbon by 2050.

We found digital was also vital for #netzero homes .. es.catapult.org.uk/smart-systems-… 1/5
Smart Systems and Heat showed #digitalsolutions:

1⃣ Give consumers better control of comfort and cost 😊
2⃣ Open the door to #lowcarbon heating ♨️ es.catapult.org.uk/news/the-delig… .. and
3⃣ Allow innovation in grid flexibility💪... 2/5

... and aligned with findings from Energy Data Taskforce, with 5 key recommendations on integrating data and digital systems to modernise the UK energy system.

... and the role of interoperability .. seen by many in the energy sector as key to unlocking flexibility services.

This was a start ..

But there are 19 different types of interoperability within energy sector.

Standards and codes of practice to enable interoperability and sharing of data within the EV & energy sectors.

ICYMI: Strategy Director @guynewey said @theADEuk #Smart19 event: "Digitalisation can be transformative in tackling the most difficult energy problems, like decarbonising heat. But there are significant risks that need to be managed, such as: lock-in and interoperability". 1/3
"Interoperability is seen by many in energy as key to unlocking flexibility services. But it means more than simply compatibility between interfacing pieces of technology. 2/3
"Energy Systems Catapult argues interoperability should be considered more broadly. Understanding its wider implications will be essential if the energy system and consumers of energy are to benefit from the potential of digitisation." 3/3

The Energy Data Taskforce has delivered a strategy for a Modern, Digitalised Energy System based two key principles – filling in the data gaps through requiring new and better-quality data, and maximising its value by embedding the presumption that data is open. #EDTF
A staged approach should be taken with the first two visibility steps driven and encouraged by regulation, while operational optimisation and open markets can be developed from increased access to data..
Report here: es.catapult.org.uk/news/energy-da…
1.Data Visibility: Understanding the data that exists, the data that is missing, which datasets are important, and making it easier to access and understand data.

To coincide with #fuelpovertyawarenessday our Fair Futures lead @rrchard1 has authored an opinion piece on Low Carbon Innovation and Energy Justice:
es.catapult.org.uk/news/will-low-…

Here is a thread outlining the key points ...
We've got 2 big challenges:

1. We need to work out how we replace over 22 million gas boilers in our homes to meet 2050 emissions targets.

2. Yet 2.5 million households struggle to afford to warm their homes today, according to figures from @NEA_UKCharity.
However, these two huge societal issues are not irreconcilable. In fact, innovations aimed at decarbonisation could be useful tools in efforts to reduce fuel poverty, if we put the consumer at the heart of the process.

As #Australia reels from unprecedented bushfires, the disconnect between its vulnerability to #climate change and the inadequacy of its government's response is coming under international scrutiny.
We have produced a mountain of research on this -
👇👇 thread👇👇
1/ #Australia is on fire due in large part to #climate change yet the government is looking for ways to weaken the Paris Agreement by using 40 y. o. Kyoto protocol credits to meet its 2030 targets. We show there's no legal basis for this 
bit.ly/Aus_KPCO @TheAusInstitute
2/ Our calculations show just how bad using Kyoto carryover units to meet #ParisAgreement commitments would be for #climate action: an extra 0.1˚C of warming that wld not otherwise hv occurred due to delays in energy & economic system transformation

At the #Roundtable @COP25CL #TimeForAction Building a Resilient Future through Water. 1) By default & disaster the world finally understands that climate change hits us hardest through water: too much, too little, polluted.
2) Understand, value & manage water best and it can be the leverage for inclusive comprehensive impactful change. Investing in water delivers returns outside of the water sector. These interdependencies need to be captured and valued. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
3) the #2030agenda and the #COP21 agreement are one and the same for the future of our planet & society. Water cuts across all, as a dealbreaker but can be the dealmaker. #TimeForChange @COP25CL

In 2008, #Massachusetts stepped into a global #climate leadership position w/passage of the landmark Global Warming Solutions Act. This year, it has the opportunity to renew that leadership and rejoin the climate vanguard by passing H.3983, the "2050 Roadmap Act." A thread... 1/
Today I delivered a letter to @RepMichlewitz @SpeakerDeLeo & Sen Prez @karenspilka from 37 academic scholars & experts on #energy & #climatechange calling attention to the 2050 Roadmap Bill, which would put #Massachusetts on a path to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. 2/
The #Massachussetts 2050 Roadmap Bill, sponsored by @JoanMeschino (👏) + supported by 59 legislators, provides a timely update to the regulatory framework established by the Global Warming Solutions Act and a critical opportunity to renew the commonwealth’s climate leadership. 3/

No time to read @ITIFdc report of UK clean #energy #innovation performance but want to know how the UK performed?

www2.itif.org/2019-global-en…

@beisgovuk @ScotGovEnergy @EnergySysCat @theCCCuk
@ITIFdc @beisgovuk @ScotGovEnergy @EnergySysCat @theCCCuk UK just makes top 10, performing best on 'social legitimation' (i.e. making clean energy more acceptable).

Does well too on 'option generation' (i.e. scale & diversity of clean energy RD&D funding).

Poorest on 'scale-up' (i.e. later stage demonstration & commercialisation).
@ITIFdc @beisgovuk @ScotGovEnergy @EnergySysCat @theCCCuk UK has done extremely well on growing its RD&D spend, ranking 1st of all the @MICleanEnergyRD countries. Kudos to @beisgovuk and its Industrial Strategy spending, which I imagine has been the primary driver.

#NetZero target is incredibly welcome to focus minds so, from our work on over 3 million homes so far, here is what we have learned so far about the Home Front in the #climateemergency THREAD 👇
1. Carrots and sticks: Legal targets cut through ROI & get #retrofit to top of agenda. The #CleanGrowthStrategy targets are already driving investment amongst our public and private sector clients and action will accelerate once the standards, and their enforcement, are clarified
2. Sell the sofa not the finance: Of the carrots, our research amongst home-owners shows there is appetite for good-value #retrofit finance to overcome upfront costs, but the rest of the offer has to appeal first. Again, multiple levers are needed.

THREAD| Draft of the #Climate Change Act, presented by (@bmu) this week: The proposal is a framework law, featuring elements from international acts, e.g. from UK (@theCCCuk). In contrast to the German Climate Action Plan 2050, it will be legally binding. #Klimaschutzgesetz
2| The framework law includes emission reduction targets, defines CO2 budgets for each sector, and clarifies responsibilities, as well as review, transparency & sanctioning mechanisms. Implementation measures for each sector will be detailled in 2030 programmes, due in Mar 2019.
3| Progress will be supported by an independent advisory group of 7 experts. Focus is on reaching the 2030 CO2 reduction targets, but the draft works towards at least 95% reduction by 2050. The remaining 5% to reach #netzero could be reached through compensation policies.
