A renewable transition is not only feasible but also cost effective.

See our new paper, scrutinizing mitigation scenarios and cost assumptions.

https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1hoOs7tZ6Z-FZb

Key point: scenarios underestimate cost degressions of renewables, overestimate those of CCS.

So: going full force renewable and adopting energy efficient end use technologies (heat pump, eletric 2 and 4 wheelers) is cost efficiently (i.e. cheaper than BAU) decarbonizing our economies until 2050.

I'm catching up on the @notjustbikes videos I haven't watched yet, and I'm currently watching the "Even Small Towns" video. It's fun, because I visited most of these places when we lived there, but I didn't care about traffic safety at the time (I didn't need to), so I'm watching this video with a new lens, and something VERY striking: ALL. THE. BOLLARDS. Seriously, watch this video and keep an eye out for bollards. They're everywhere!

One kilometer on a bike 🚲 is a € 0.26 economic gain to society, one kilometer driving 🚗 is a € 0.89 loss.
