First leaks of the EU Net Zero Industry Act are out. Here is what to expect for the official draft proposal on March 14th:
#GreenDealIndustrialPlan #NZIA #IRA
European manufacturing capacity shall be scaled up for the following technologies👇(1/13)
Scope (2/13):
1. #Solar Photovoltaic & solar thermal
2. Onshore and offshore #wind
3. #Battery technologies
4. #HeatPumps + #geothermal energy
5. Renewable #hydrogen
6. #Biomethane
7. #Nuclear technologies (fission)
8. #CCUS
9. #Grid technologies
Manufacturing capacity objectives within the EU by 2030 (3/13):
- Binding overall target: at least 40% of the Union’s annual deployment needs
- indicative targets for specific tech: wind turbines (85%), solar PV (40%), heat pumps (65%), batteries (85%), electrolysers (50%)

When I took on leadership of the #CHIP clinic @DanaFarber @DanaFarberNews, I was #bookedandbusy lots of #CHIP & #CCUS had been diagnosed since we rolled out our clinical NGS panel in 2014/15. But the uncertainty (the “indeterminate potential”) was disquieting.
Imagine someone hands you a grenade & says: don’t worry most don't explode. But some do. But most explosions don't kill you. But some do. We don’t know which grenade you have. Oh, and you must hold it forever

That's a hematologists diagnosing CHIP/CCUS, precursors to #MDS & #AML
In truth, we're not totally compass-less. @jaiswalmdphd noted the association between high RDW & progression to myeloid neoplasm (MN) in early work.

Luca Malcovati & others noted risk was genotype specific: splicing factor mutations are higher risk than DNMT3A mutations

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage #CCUS #canpoli 🧵

There is only one reason that CCS exists: to prop up an industry that is under existential threat because of the need to transition from fossil fuel energy.
Every major report from the IPCC to the International Energy Association shows that in order to avert catastrophic warming of the climate we need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels
CCUS gives fossil fuel industry a claim (a far off promise based on unproven technology) that it can continue to operate in a world that is working towards net zero. Without CCUS, the fossil fuel industry has no social license, no way to continue profiting off of extraction.

📢BREAKING: 95% of #COP27 sponsors have ties to the fossil fuel industry 📢

New research by @StopCorpAbuse @corporateeurope shows how 18 out 20 sponsors are linked to climate-wrecking fossil fuel corps.

Read the summary and then dig into each sponsor in this thread 🧵👇🏽
#COP27 sponsors include

🏦 Banks like @afreximbank @MashreqTweets
💽 Silicon valley beasts like @Microsoft @Cisco @IBM @Google
📶 Communication giant @VodafoneGroup
✈️ Airline @EGYPTAIR
🚘 Car company @GM
🫗 And of course @CocaCola
+ many more
📶@VodafoneGroup 📶

The UK telecoms company built a private 5G network for the oil&gas sector

STARTING NOW at #COP27 an essential event connecting the dots between patterns of racial injustice, inequality, and colonialism & #ClimateAction.

A thread 🧵

No #ClimateJustice without #RacialJustice. Image
Racially, ethnically & nationally marginalized communities are more likely than other populations to be adversely affected by the primary drivers of the #ClimateCrisis (aka #FossilFuels & #Deforestation) & the measures to address climate breakdowns.
In particular, #FossilFuels not only drive the #ClimateCrisis; they also erode the resilience of fenceline & frontline communities to the ravages of climate change, through their impacts on the environment and public health, compounding climate vulnerabilities.

⚡️NEW REPORT⚡️:
Our new modelling report from @DavidSuzukiFDN shows that 100% zero-emissions electricity across Canada by 2035 is possible, reliable and affordable.

Buckle up for a #CleanElectricity thread 🧵

bit.ly/CleanElectrici…

#Climate #energytwitter #cdnpoli
This is the first modelling report of its kind in Canada. It goes beyond #NetZero to reach #ZeroEmissions by 2035, primarily by relying on:

☀️#Renewables like wind & solar
🔋#EnergyStorage
🏡#EnergyEfficiency
🌊Existing #Hydropower
🔌More grid connections between regions
Overall, Canada's electricity capacity grows by 2.8x by 2050, and the amount of electrical energy we use grows by 1.8x

All #FossilFuels on the grid are phased out by 2035, including all #NaturalGas. And no nuclear or fossils with #CCUS are needed.

After quick reading @environmentca new Emissions Reduction Plan, two major (& predictable) blindspots have emerged. A short 🧵 #ERP #cdnpoli #climatecrisis 1/7
2/7 FINANCE: describes modest historical process, without providing any path forward for aligning financial regulations with #ParisAgreement for regulated finance institutions/crowns, mandatory #ClimateRisk disclosure, stronger capital adequacy requirements, mandate changes, etc
3/7 FINANCE: Under #SFAC, finance institutions are regulating themselves. Major Canadian #banks lobby against mandatory #climaterisk disclosure & are #greenwashing #sustainablefinance - major policy reforms are needed & are missing here. thenarwhal.ca/canada-big-5-b…

Between June 2021 & January 2022, the price of “nature based” #offsets — such as those from tree-planting schemes 🌳🌳 — increased more than 3-fold from around $4.65 per tonne of #carbon to around $14.40, according to S&P Global Platts ft.com/content/29565f… #CCUS #NetZero
Interest in unregulated #offsets market, has grown with proliferation of #NetZero emission pledges since the #COP26 summit + rising pressure on curbing global warming. Expectations are the voluntary carbon market will grow this yr into a space worth $ Bn's ft.com/content/29565f…
Though #oil companies claim to use only “high-quality” #offsets as part of their #NetZero goals, monitoring millions of acres of forest is hugely challenging. Experience of recognised programs like UN’s REDD initiative = mixed at best carbontracker.org/oil-companies-…

"Acceptance of a changing #energy sector is also critical for the siting and permitting of new infrastructure. Energy transitions do not mean an end to large infrastructure projects, successful transitions need them." [p 57]

#IEA #COP26 #4IR
In the 386 report on the metal road to the full #digitalization of the global economy & societies, not a single word about data centers. #Electricity for data centers is to increase 15-fold by 2030 representing 8-11% global demand. In one scenario, global demand could reach 20%.
In a worst-case scenario, it is suggested that communication technologies (#CT) could use as much as 51% of global #electricity by 2030. In this scenario, "CT electricity usage could contribute up to 23% of the globally released GHG emissions in 2030". [Anders Andrae] #COP26

The #WEF Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network (#C4IR) "develops, implements & scales up agile & human-centred pilot projects that can be adopted by policy-makers, #legislators & regulators worldwide."

There are now 4 "global centres" & 12 "affiliate centres".
In 2017 the global headquarters opened in US. #Salesforce founder Benioff (WEF board of trustees) serves as inaugural chair.

3 additional global centres opened in 2018:

1.China

Thread (1/9) Proud of our new report! So many messages distilled for you, by our team @EU_ScienceHub and from a polyphony of #EnergyScenarios. Let the deeper understanding of it mature now. Enjoy its taste !
ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publica… #EUGreenDeal
(2/9) Scenarios achieving 50-56% CO2 reduction by 2030 see total #coal use reduce by 70%, #oil by 25-50% and #naturalgas by up to 25%. The use of total #biomass ranges from limited growth to an increase of up to 60%. All compared to 2017.
(3/9) The growth of #wind power generation varies between a factor of 1.5 and 3.5 and the growth of #solar power between 1.5 and 4.5. Between 2017 and 2030.
#Hydrogen and #CCUS emerges in some but not all scenarios.

We have just published our Review of Energy Policy: 2018!
Check out the thread below for a summary of all our recommendations.
Read the review in full here: bit.ly/2BsqDqf
On #Transport: The target for phasing our conventionally fuelled vehicles is inadequate. The @transportgovuk ‘Road to Zero’ (‘ICE ban 2040’) may neither hit the target nor make the early gains needed for a 1.5°C trajectory. @_chris_brand_ @jillian_anable
On #electricity: policy should build on Electricity Market Reform that has worked well & adapt in the light of technology/cost changes. Change in ‘black start’ incentives & other ancillary services are needed to ensure the system remains resilient @energyukcomms @ngcontrolroom
