NEW: Asia is going electric⚡️
Asia has 4% of the world's oil+gas supplies. It's perhaps no surprise Asia is doubling down on electrification.
Not just China, all of Asia.
If you liked last September Electrotech Revolution slidepack, you'll love this...

For @Semafor, Ember’s @KingsmillBond
and @SamButl3r share why solar power will outshine LNG as energy demand continues to grow.

The Electrotech Revolution will not be Fossilized. My conversation with Ember's Kingsmill Bond. Filmed live in Berlin at the October Cleaning Up Leadership Circle breakfast in Berlin. Not to be missed!

LATEST DATA | Strong solar additions and favourable hydro conditions in China pushed coal power down 5.4% in September compared to 2024 🇨🇳⚡️
Year-to-date, coal power remains down 1.4%.

China is shifting from a coal-fuelled powerhouse to a clean electrification leader 🇨🇳🌏
Solar, batteries and EVs are growing 3x faster than 🇨🇳's economy – driving change at home & abroad.
Tune in to @transitionshow with @ymymilan and @SamButl3r 🎧

“The magnetic centre is the electron: we are revolutionising how we generate, use, and shift electrons. Solar and wind are conquering electricity supply. EVs, heat pumps, and AI are electrifying major new uses. Batteries and digitalisation are connecting supply and demand.”
JUST DROPPED: Ember’s new slide deck from Kingsmill Bond and the Ember Futures team lays out how manufactured, modular technologies are rewriting the physics, economics, and geopolitics of energy.
A treasure trove of visuals and storytelling.

NEW | China’s clean energy boom and rapid electrification are creating the conditions for a FOSSIL DECLINE at home and abroad⚡
Fossil use in end-use sectors plateaued in 2015--while electricity use grew 65%, becoming central to 🇨🇳’s energy system.

Loved this piece by @KingsmillBond @DaanWalt3r @SamButl3r @ember_energy on electrification
Found this graphic striking - the amount of progress that has taken place in the last 25 years, unlocking electrification as a solution across a much wider range of sectors, is staggering.
Nice thread on our latest piece at @ember_energy
1. Electrifying the economy - shifting from using fossil molecules to using electrons - is an even bigger shift & larger market than cleaning up the electricity supply. Great insights from @KingsmillBond and colleagues at @ember_energy.

Time to rethink the energy debate
It is time to rethink the debate on the future of energy. This is a technology revolution driven by physics, economics and geopolitics, and galvanised by China.

> Solar and wind take 10 years to get to 5% deployment, 10 more years to get to 25%, and then 10 years to reach 50%
> EVs take 6 years to get to 5% of sales and 6 more years to reach 50%
The cleantech revolution is unstoppable

Awesome evening!
Shout out to @CarbonBrief @DrSimEvans @LeoHickman and the whole gang for a brill quiz, and kudos to @mikehemsley and @SamButl3r for helping ace an awesome picture round
Third place (out of 54) for @ETC_energy / @SYSTEMIQ_Ltd team at this year’s @CarbonBrief #CBQuiz
Fiendish as always.
Well done team.

"Global South is deploying cleantech faster than the Global North because they are rich in renewables but import fossil fuels. So they will not prop up the dying fossil fuel system, but ride the cleantech revolution to growth and prosperity"-@KingsmillBond

We’re about to make a big leap forward as we shift from fossil fuels to clean energy like solar, wind, and electric tech — almost doubling global energy efficiency in the process. Learn how: bit.ly/3XdEnPe

Two awesome straplines from @DaanWalt3r @KingsmillBond @SamButl3r in their latest piece on the shift away from a combustion and fossil-fuel based energy system:
"We've gone as far as fire can take us"
"Renewables get to work"
Love it!

Renewable energy is cheaper to scale, faster to deploy, better for our natural world and now accounts for 10% of global GDP growth. As @RockyMtnInst shares in a compelling report, the cleantech revolution is here and shaping our world for the better. rmi.org/insight/the-cleantec…
