"Recycle materials, re-use components, stop demolition." Infographic from the EASAC 2021 Report "Decarbonisation of Buildings: for Climate, Health and Jobs".

🏢 Most #EU Member States failed to submit draft National Building Renovation Plans under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive on time.

🔋 Buildings account for one third of EU energy use.

♻️ Several #EASAC reports highlight that #Decarbonisation is key for #ClimateAction and #EnergySecurity

Gas Networks Ireland to invest €200m | ThinkBusiness Gas Networks Ireland plans €200m investment to install electric motor drives at Scottish compressor stations, cutting operational emissions by 42% by 2030.

Gas Networks Ireland has announced a €200m investment to decarbonise its two Scottish compressor stations, a project set to cut the organisation’s operational emissions by 42% by 2030

Heterogeneity in public attitudes and preferences for the deployment of aquifer thermal energy storage - Nature Energy Survey and discrete choice experiment data reveal substantial heterogeneity in the UK public’s stance towards aquifer thermal energy storage deployment and in preferences for deployment characteristics that vary with latent attitudes.

New research reveals heterogeneity in the UK’s public stance towards aquifer thermal energy storage deployment #ATES #AquiferThermalEnergyStorage #NetZero #Decarbonisation

A no-brainer to invest in netzero then? Moving away from fossil-fuel based imports, relying on our own greener, secure network and reducing electricity costs to the customer must be the focus.

Electricity price subsidy could harm industry efficiency and competition – analysis | Clean Energy Wire A planned scheme to subsidise electricity costs for energy-intensive industry risks hampering efficiency improvements and disproportionately benefiting large companies, said the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in a policy brief.

Good news: all humans together honestly do try #decarbonisation now. Grand. Thanks Iran, Israel and America. It is astonishing how rapidly mindset did change and all consumers showing so much self-control. Yes, humans, we can do it and please apologise my sarcasm. 🥳👹

Definitely. There just seems to be a lack of understanding that energy security *is* national security, and that transport #Decarbonisation is not a nice to have luxury but an essential.

This remains the wrong answer. If we have money to spare to spend on transport we need to spend this on #Decarbonisation, whether thats #ActiveTravel or #PublicTransport. Otherwise it‘s just a bung for rich SUV owners in a country where 1:4 households don’t have a car

@greenlibdems.org.uk

I agree, and made it known on various LD forums.

The thing is that if there’s money to spend on transport it would be better spending it on #Decarbonisation measures such as increased funding for #ActiveTravel or #PublicTransport

Andy Burnham made a number of statements, and they are worth noting and dissecting.
There are things to applaud but the tendency in a speech like this is to paint an overly celebratory picture, and to elide some of the real issues.

The utter folly of “pausing” railway #Electrification schemes is once again demonstrated by the effect the current Iran crisis is having on oil prices.

#Decarbonisation is a national security issue

Getting a heat pump means my house will never have to buy heating oil again.
Pretty good timing:

Global shipping industry sticks with green investments, despite carbon price delay The industry's biggest players are forging ahead with billions of dollars in emissions-reducing investments, according to company officials and a Reuters analysis of data.

Global shipping is doubling down on #GreenFuels. 🚢🌱 Major companies continue investing in green #methanol and #ammonia despite United States opposition. Long-term fuel contracts and new vessel orders show the industry is betting on long-term #decarbonisation, not short-term policy shifts. ⚓♻️
