⚙️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...

Our new study an EU #fossil #phase-out is out in @natcomms.nature.com. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Afaik, this is the first #IAM study investigating a complete fossil phase-out. How much do we need to reduce fossils for the EU 2050 goal? And would even a full fossil phase-out be possible?

From net-zero to zero-fossil in transforming the EU energy system - Nature Communications

This scenario study investigates how the EU net-zero target can be reached with varying levels of residual fossil fuels. Reducing fossils by only 90% relies on substantial carbon storage, while a full...

🆕 Cost-effective #climate #mitigation would reduce fossil fuel consumption in the EU by around 90 percent by 2050, compared to 2020. Rapid expansion of renewable energy and widespread electrification are key drivers of this shift, researchers show. ⬇️ www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late... #NetZero2050

Excellent report to keep 1.5°C and fossil phase-out on the agenda ahead of COP30. Thanks for this nice partnership between @climateanalytics.org and REMIND colleagues at @pik-potsdam.bsky.social!

🚨🚨🚨 NEW REPORT ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 @climateanalytics.org has a new report out today that I’m really excited about. It’s all about 1.5ºC... ▶️ Is overshooting 1.5ºC inevitable? ▶️ Can we still get temperatures back below 1.5ºC? ▶️ If so, how? If you’re interested in our findings, buckle up for a mega thread...
