Can you guess what sector consumes the most energy in the EU? It is buildings 🏠🏨🏫🏢. Decarbonising the EU’s building stock will help reduce emissions and increase #EnergySecurity. Watch & read to learn more about Zero Emissions Buildings 👉 europa.eu/!bRNJVH

This is a must-read challenge to the "batteries consume sooo many minerals". Will they? Will they really? Or will chemistry, energy density and recycling mean this concern is rather overblown? OUT TODAY from @RockyMtnInst rmi.org/insight/the-battery-…

Happy Friday to all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea. I hate to break it to you but >80% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar and wind. See the trend? Coal (black) and fossil gas (grey) getting squeezed more and more.

A century of male-dominated planning has resulted in streets shaped for one purpose: the commute to paid work. Only when cities start taking into account the other unpaid “care trips” taken by residents do they become more inclusive and gender equitable. anchor.fm/storktalks/episode…

In a joint MEP-CEO letter to @vonderleyen & @TimmermansEU, @Shell urged the @EU_Commission to accelerate #renewable energy use in the industrial sector. Shell advocates for a higher renewable 2030 target & a sectoral renewable mandate for industry in #RenewableEnergyDirective.1/2

Although already high, I’m looking forward to the 2020 numbers
In 2019, highest shares of gross #electricity consumption from #renewable sources were recorded in: 🇦🇹 Austria (75%) 🇸🇪 Sweden (71%) 🇩🇰 Denmark (65%) 🇵🇹 Portugal (54%) 🇱🇻 Latvia (53%) 🤔 How about your country ❓#StatisticsExplained ➡️More information: ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/pr…

🆕 Batteries are a product of the future! We need them to power electric 🚙 & store renewable ⚡️ But we have to get their 👣 right! With our proposal for sustainable batteries we’ll address their full life-cycle for the 1st time & gear up for the Sustainable Products Initiative!
So muss #Ladeinfrastruktur aussehen 💪 Für @CleanElectrCast habe ich mir den Ladepark von @Tesla, @Fastned und @EcoCarer1 angesehen. #Solar Dach + 2MWh Speicher ☀️ 🔋 Bäckerei Toiletten, uvm 🚗 Ziel: 114 (!!) #Ladepunkt 🤯🔋 #emobility #Elektroauto youtu.be/ml3vpfmh-P4

Part II of my hydrogen deep dive: the demand side. TLDR: Hydrogen will play a vital role as chemical feedstock, including for shipping and aviation fuels, and as guarantor of resilience in a renewables-based power system. EVERYTHING else goes electric. about.bnef.com/blog/liebreic…

#Methane hotspots can be seen from space🌍! At least by satellites like Sentinel-5P. This map shows what we want to fix with #MethaneStrategy! Technology to facilitate the strategy already exists thanks to #EU🇪🇺long-term investments in satellite programs. #Copernicus #Horizon2020

#Renewable #energy is a true European success story and as the #NECP assessment shows, we are on track to overshoot our current 2030 renewables target. However, to reach the more ambitious 2030 climate target, we clearly have to do more. #SOTEU #EUGreenDeal🇪🇺🌿
