A new initiative to 'bridge the existing gaps in supply chain heat #decarbonisation' has been launched by AstraZeneca, Secaro and ERM. 🔥

Wow, who would have expected a Dunkelflaute in March? But here it is:

• #Germany - the “energy transformation leader with the most renewables in Europe” - 604 gCO2eq/kWh
• #Poland - old coal baseline country that is heavily investing in wind and building its first nuclear power plant - 582 gCO2eq/kWh
• #France - the hopeless case of old, legacy #nuclear that has “no future” and “contributes nothing to decarbonisation” (literal quotes) - 38 gCO2eq/kWh

It’s not a typo, the last number is really “38”, that is 16x less than the first number. And the whole point of #decarbonisation is to emit less CO2.

Ireland is 'significantly behind' where it needs to be when it comes to the #decarbonisation of residential heating, according to the Economic & Social Research Institute (ESRI). 🇮🇪

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.

With the recent update about the scrapping of the shuttle bus across the new bridge in Waterford City, I decided to make mockups of what a more ambitious but more realistic public transport solution could look like!

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a novel energy storage system that they state could pave the way for greater #decarbonisation of commercial buildings. ⚡
