As ‘unabated’ is in the spotlight at COP28, a little bit of history: In April 2009, the UK gov announced that it would not allow multiple new coal power plants to be built. This followed an extensive NGO campaign + advice from the new Committee on Climate Change. 1/

Neat new chart from the new @IEA CCUS report. We may not yet have the real-world data we want for accurate cost estimates yet, but lead times are another valuable metric and are available for more projects. The variability looks typical of an early-stage, large industrial sector

New policy & business approaches are needed to support scaling up of carbon capture, utilisation & storage to help reach net zero goals Our latest report shows CCUS is seeing unprecedented momentum, but implementation is lagging behind. Read more ⬇️

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28 It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy. Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment. Our report: https://t.co/MQiLm2ji76

The energy world will look very different by 2030, even under today's policy settings 🚗 Nearly 10 times as many electric cars ☀️ Renewables = 80% of new power ⚡️ Electric heating outselling gas boilers 🏭 Fossil fuel demand has peaked ➡️  https://t.co/eTFoghWR2Z
