Paul-Frederik Bach, a former transmission system operator executive, started tracking European wholesale electricity prices on his blog in 2014. He used a colored map for different price bands.

Green businesses contend the social media giant's policies are treating their adverts in the same way as campaigns from 'dark money' funded lobbyists, undermining the timeliness and effectiveness of their marketing messages in the process. A Facebook ad that ran earlier this month for an offshore wind event urged graduates to attend in order to "discover your role in the journey to net zero emissions".
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Companies offering solutions to climate change are not political parties - Facebook's and Twitter's advertising policies should reflect that, argues Good Energy's Juliet Davenport. In the late 1980s, I found myself studying atmospheric physics and being introduced to the science behind climate change. The data even back then clearly supported the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the runaway climate impacts we see today.
