Improving the thermal performance of UK homes could deliver climate and energy security at a fraction of the cost of nuclear power, argues Kingspan's Rita Singh. However, the negative impacts of continued North Sea exploration could be felt for decades or even centuries. The answer is good, old-fashioned energy efficiency.

Josh Burke at LSE's Grantham Research Institute navigates the costs, opportunities, advantages and disadvantages of different carbon capture and negative emissions technologies. Net negative emissions are achieved when gross negative emissions match or exceed gross positive emissions. Why negative emissions?

Even more worrying is a fact David Wallace-Wells points out in his best-selling book Uninhabitable Earth : more than half of the carbon emitted in the atmosphere today was emitted in the past 30 years. For nearly two decades nuclear power had been officially excluded from the multilateral UN climate negotiations process.

About 77% of the citizens agree that a more important energy priority should be developing alternative energy resources like wind and solar power and hydrogen technology instead of increasing fossil fuel production. Green hydrogen is generated from low-carbon power or renewable energy. Versatile Fuel.

With the growth of e-commerce and demand for faster shipping (which means burning more fuel), maritime emissions increased nearly 5% between 2020 and 2021. IMO will assign a CII rating, with A being the best, least carbon-intensive and E being the worst, most carbon-intensive. Bunkering companies supply fuel to ships.

billion people live in areas that are "highly vulnerable" to climate change, key ecosystems are losing their ability to store carbon, many low lying areas are facing a future of inundation, and millions of people face drastically increased risk of deadly heatwaves, floods, and droughts.

An electricity grid almost entirely powered by zero carbon energy sources is not only technically feasible based on existing technologies; it is also more secure and cost-effective that that which is in operation today. Moreover, for climate and energy security reasons, a net zero power grid is essentially non-negotiable.

Critics argued that the agreement on transitioning away from fossil fuels was weak and riddled with loopholes, lacking concrete steps and allowing continued reliance on fossil fuels. COP president Sultan Al-Jaber, head of the UAE’s state oil company, faced accusations of using his position to promote fossil fuels.

Russia's war in Ukraine - which itself was completely unexpected by pretty much everyone this time last year, bar a handful of vindicated intelligence agents - could yet result in a stunning victory for Ukraine, a stinging defeat for tyrannical authoritarianism, and a step change in the pace of the West's transition away from fossil fuels.

A sudden collapse of the industry - called a carbon crunch - could lead to economic disaster of epic proportions. The time is therefore now to plan an orderly wind-down of fossil fuel assets and manage the impact on the global economy rather than try to sustain the unsustainable. The industry as we once knew it, is gone.

While the details are complex and still in development, their result would be to force administratively set minimum prices on future wind and solar resources, energy efficiency, demand response, and nuclear power plants in PJM's capacity market. This dynamic is actually what started the FERC-PJM situation in the first place.
