⚙️New paper out in Nature Climate Change! Coal-based steel plants operate for decades, and continued investments in new and existing capacity risk locking in emissions well into the 2060s. But we show that there is still a narrow window to act. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New paper: Coupling integrated assessment and energy system models 🚨 Planning future energy systems requires bridging two fundamentally different scales: long-term transformation pathways spanning decades, and short-term power system operations unfolding hour by hour. #EnergySky #PyPSA 🧵

⚡ New paper in @natcomms.nature.com on decarbonizing the hard-to-electrify sectors! Which abatement option is most cost-efficient for the steel, cement, chemical, or long-distance transport sectors? In this paper, we explore the mitigation landscape of each sector. 🔗 Article: rdcu.be/ejLI0

Exploring techno-economic landscapes of abatement options for hard-to-electrify sectors

Nature Communications - Abatement options for hard-to-electrify sectors (e.g., steel, aviation) face uncertainty in future costs and feasibility. This techno-economic analysis shows that despite...

🚨New Paper and Policy Brief🚨 How has green hydrogen developed recently? How much hydrogen is needed for 1.5°C? And what are plausible future pathways? In a new Nature Energy study, we look at these questions. 🔗Article: https://buff.ly/3WeOh3G 🔗Policy Brief: https://buff.ly/3C2F6wm #EnergySky

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Atlantic circulation collapse? "In short, it’s a climate scientist’s nightmare come true." Here's a good 'deep dive' into this risk, from Yale Climate Connections. yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/12/atla...

Atlantic circulation collapse? New clues on the fate of a crucial conveyor belt » Yale Climate Connections

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which includes the Gulf Stream, is vital to Earth's climate. Its weakening could spell disaster.
