Policies targeting investment towards emergent technologies have been central to the greatest successes in low-carbon technology #transitions in China, India, Brazil, and Europe.📈 Find out why this is the case in EEIST’s Synthesis Report: eeist.co.uk/eeist-reports/ec… @UniofExeter

This week's nice @TheEconomist cover reminds me of the working title for this paper last year: Is a solar future inevitable? We thought the answer was yes. Looks like people at the Economist now agree. @FemkeNijsse @JFMercure nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Global investment in renewable power & grids overtook spending on fossil fuels for the first time in 2023 — a sign of the new energy economy that’s emerging But clean energy investment must grow much faster for the world to reach energy & climate goals ➡️ iea.li/3RsWEGr

Research from @doyne_farmer and @f_lafond_ helping to illustrate that one of the most transformative changes in technology over the last few decades has been the massive drop in the cost of clean energy.
One of the most transformative changes in technology over the last few decades has been the massive drop in the cost of clean energy. Solar photovoltaic costs have fallen by 90% in the last decade, onshore wind by 70%, and batteries by more than 90%. These technologies have followed a “learning curve” called Wright’s Law. This states that the cost of technology falls consistently as the cumulative production of that technology increases. The chart shows the perfect example of this for solar power. This data comes from the International Renewable Agency, Greg Nemet, and Doyne Farmer & François Lafond. On the horizontal axis, we have the cumulative installed capacity of solar panels, and on the vertical axis, the cost. Both are measured on logarithmic scales, and the trend follows a straight line. That means the fall in cost has been exponential. Costs have fallen by around 20% every time the global cumulative capacity doubles. Over four decades, solar power has transformed from one of the most expensive electricity sources to the cheapest in many countries. (This Data Insight was written by @_HannahRitchie)

A new @TheSmithSchool study has found UK citizens can get a good deal on net zero, minimising costs to people and the public purse, with the added benefits of improved homes, reduced bills, more jobs, and less carbon. More info ⬇️ #WorldEnvironmentDay theconversation.com/net-zero…

A major @IEA report out today shows that the transition to net zero emissions would mean lower energy costs globally than if we continue on our current path Scaling up clean technologies is good for affordability as well as for cutting emissions More: iea.li/4aM2zNn
