📣Clean flexibility can replace fossil gas. 🔋

✔ Lower bills (up to €300bn/year savings by 2030)
✔ Energy security
✔ Less gas imports

New report by The Brattle Group for @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social.

❗The future isn’t gas⚡

#CleanFlexibility #EnergySecurity #RES

Solar and wind are set to make up over 50% of China’s installed power capacity under current plans – raising the need to scale up #cleanflexibility to ensure system stability.

Capacity markets have awarded over €50bn to fossil fuel assets since 2015 — almost triple of that allocated to clean flexibility Capacity markets have awarded over €50bn to fossil fuel assets since 2015 — almost triple of that allocated to clean flexibility

⚠️ ICYMI: Since 2015, governments have allocated over €50B in contracts to fossil plant operators – to be paid via energy bills.
Europe can’t afford this, we need to redirect money towards #RenewableEnergy and #CleanFlexibility

1/5 💸 Capacity markets exist in 6 European countries & have provided contracts to energy assets worth €90bn since 2015.
Contracts to fossil plant operators have outstripped those to #cleanflexibility by almost 3-to-1.

#COP29 was the first time a COP brought clean flexibility onto the agenda ✅

A power system with #cleanflexibility stores excess renewable power for later use
The FOUR storage tools are:

🌊 Pumped hydro
🔋 Batteries
⚡ Long duration energy storage (LDES)
🟢 Green hydrogen

Government targets still lag behind forecasts for tripling renewables 🎯

With #COP29 underway, supercharging renewables, implementing energy efficiency and #cleanflexibility can drive a rapid decline in fossil fuels ⏩
