He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?
And people wonder how we got drunk on hydrogen when this type of nonsense is “informing” the general public.
Spent a few days in Shanghai 🇨🇳 last week. Incredible how a city of 25m is so easy to get around by bike, metro, train or car.
95% of road transport I saw was electric including this Xiaomi SU7 (not yet in 🇪🇺). Range: 700km. Price: €30k.
🇪🇺 cities can learn a lot from SH. – at Shanghai, People's Republic of China
Visited a pretty big lime plant in 🇫🇷 today
Such a cool, underrated industry with applications in so many sectors, possibly the most essential application for CCS
Also, lime plants are hella dusty
Just visited the oil museum in Stavanger 🇳🇴 which was … a cultural experience to say the least
Norwegian “solar power”, kids supporting drilling in the Arctic and, of course, my personal favourite - a couple deriding CCS and senseless and expensive
Highly recommend a visit!
Spot on summary on what @heimildin should have written about @Climeworks in their DAC piece.
Also, journalists please stop interviewing professional troll @mzjacobson please and thank you
Since this Climeworks story is now ripping through socials, it's a good time for a little thread on the piece
Early responses have all been dunking on DAC, but this is bigger than one technology
What does the piece get right, what does it get wrong🧵

There’s something deeply alluring about visiting industrial plants up close like this big cement kiln
It’s such a lowkey innovative industry and one which will need large scale carbon infrastructure to make our buildings and bridges made for net zero
struggling to decide if the disinformation about apparent disinformation being spread about the Iberian blackout being linked to renewables is worse than actual disinformation being spread about the Iberian blackout being linked to renewables
Carbon capture isn't new or "unproven"
Don't believe me? Take a look at this patent for CO₂ capture technology from 1930 patents.google.com/patent/US…
Dozens of projects show we can capture and store millions of tons of CO2 each year, safely.
This report should be put in the bin.

« The Commission failed to carry out rigorous analyses before setting EU targets for the production and import of renewable hydrogen », the European Court of Auditors @EUauditors severly criticises the Commission's H2 strategy ↘️

There are decades of actual research, reports and analysis on CCS. This article takes four paragraphs to highlight one of the worst projects
One which CCS advocates aren't fond of either xitter.cf/EPernot/status/1694186…

🚨This is the HUGE. Unless country carbon accounting is changed we will only reach fake net zero, resulting in 0.5C more warming end of century.
The way countries account for removals in the land sector includes the natural CO2 fertilization effect on managed lands. That effect is already accounted for in carbon budgets, and is on the order of 4-6 Gt/yr. So if countries also account for that CO2 it means they are actually not reaching net zero when they say they are.
There is a difference between UNFCCC and IPCC accounting rules here that enables this.
From Myles Allen et als poster (and upcoming paper). Also the most discussed poster, but far from enough.

Thanks @brunncy for giving additional details.

(1/3) A carbon central bank (CCB) embedded in the ECB could be one design option to manage the transition to net-zero and later net-negative emissions targets in the EU and in particular in the EU ETS. @FelixSchenuit @MathiasFridahl

How could CDR be integrated into the EU ETS? In our new @kielinstitute policy brief, we propose a sequencing strategy for the mandate of a Carbon Central Bank as a key institution to procure CDR and facilitate integration.

I guess today is as good day as any to remind everyone that if you do #carboncapture and storage under the #EUETS, you don't get allowances for it.
Instead, you don't have to surrender allowances for the captured emissions.

“I am eager to utilise ZEP’s leading role in Brussels to ensure industrial carbon management can have the greatest climate impact in Europe,” says Eadbhard Pernot about this new role.
