1/ Continuing our threads this week on our #ParisAgreement-compatible benchmarks report, we first turn to #transport and the share of #electricvehicles, hugely important for #decarbonising our economy. Read on...
2/ For all #transport in all countries, low carbon fuels (#electricity, #hydrogen or #biomass) need to be at ~15-20% by 2030, & toward 100% in 2050. While 2030 benchmarks vary, all converge to global decarbonised transport sector by 2050. See our report bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum 
3/ Passenger #electricVehicles (or other #zeroemission vehicles) need to reach v high market share by 2030 almost everywhere (developed countries 95% market share) & 100% by 2040. The global passenger #car fleet will be almost 100% #emissions free by 2050. bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
1/ Today's thread on our #ParisAgreement-compatible benchmarks report: all countries must decarbonise their #electricity sector by 2040, latest 2050. Emissions intensity must get to zero. #power #decarbonisation - see report here bit.ly/CAT_PSR1
2/ #Decarbonising the #power sector is key: without it, other sectors cannot do so. The 2030 benchmarks are also key - if countries are not on the right pathway by 2030, they cannot reach their 2050 goal. #renewables bit.ly/CAT_PSR1
3/ All countries must ramp-up #renewables (or other CO2-free technologies), to 98-100%, ideally by 2040, latest 2050. Fossil #CCS not viable: economically it doesn't stack up against #renewables with storage; current #nuclear not nimble enough. bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
Now it's time for our first panel discussion ' The future of flexibility is now' with Alex Gilbert @TfL and Joe McDonald @Limejump, Rafiek Versmissen @DNVGL_Energy and Andy McKay @power_evergreen #Smart19
Joe discussing the current UK energy mix, and how a #virtualpowerplant can help in #decarbonisation of the UK. @Limejump #Smart19
Now Rafiek on unlocking value of #flexibility for networks. It's very much situational, an ongoing assessment, that gives DNOs options for the temporary needs of the system vs long term assets. Flexibility only has viability if it's reliable and cost effective.

Delighted to have Mike Thompson Head of Carbon Budgets @theCCCuk give our opening keynote speech. #Smart19
Mike on the importance of the UK contribution to #decarbonising "The UK target for all green house gases is by 2050, and it really matters what the UK does. As the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and it helps to make a global change. " #Smart19
