The Postgraduate Factual – Short Form award goes to Leave Only Footprints. @QUBelfast student Philip Denvir’s film had “beautiful shooting and editing”, and was “excellently executed”, the jury said. #RTSAwards

🚨 New 24/7 report for Europe! 🚨
Companies moving from *annual* to *hourly* clean power matching get:
- lower emissions for them *and* system
- reduced backup needs for system
- only small cost premium for 90-95% hourly matching
- stimulation of new tech for final 5-10%

A 24/7 carbon free grid is our mission.
⚡We're investing in clean energy technologies
🌍Partnering around the globe
🔌To make the transition to zero-carbon electricity systems easier for others.
Glad to be at @Eurelectric's #GameChangers Power Summit in Brussels. #GoCarbonFree
Great thread (and paper!) on the energy policy needs to get to decarbonized grids as fast as possible, nice work @DevonSwezey @CarolineBGolin 💚⚡️
At @Google we’re committed to a 24/7 carbon-free future. But we wont't get there without policy change. Today, we’re releasing a new policy roadmap- working together we can see a clean future for everyone. More from me @googlecloud +🧵 cloud.google.com/blog/topics…

Join this event tomorrow to learn about the steps @Google is taking to operate entirely on carbon-free energy every hour, every day, and everywhere by 2030. Register at bit.ly/3Frfll0 #GoCarbonFree
Outstanding thread from @JesseJenkins on the grid impacts of 24/7, hour-by-hour clean energy matching strategies...
🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨
"System-level of 24/7 Carbon-free Electricity Procurement" is the first study to examine the grid-level impacts of this new strategy in clean energy procurement using a sophisticated electricity system planning model.

I am excited to unveil a new 6-part podcast we made with @Google about the hidden world of data centers, called "Where the Internet Lives." We take you to places very few people ever get to see. Plus, a whole episode on how 24/7 zero-carbon energy works. bit.ly/3gAWnxf

News on #vaccines against #COVID19 is very encouraging. Its timely to remember the fantastic impact that other vaccines have had over the last 200 yrs in Ireland - apart from clean water, vaccines have saved more lives than any other public health intervention @HSEImm @RCPI_news

🇪🇺 Europe needs more ambitious energy planning!
In October, @Google joined 50 other signatories in our call for very high-RES energy scenarios & balanced stakeholder engagement to be included in the #TYNDP ✍️
Want to join them? Get in touch!

1. Excited to share Google’s most ambitious clean energy goal yet: Operating entirely on carbon-free energy by 2030: blog.google/outreach-initiat…
Brian Denvir retweeted
As of today, Google is the 1st major company to eliminate our entire carbon legacy, including before we became carbon neutral in 2007. We’re also proud that by 2030, we aim to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy in our data centers & campuses worldwide.

Musicians @peterjmccauley & @OwenDenvir have been working in care homes for two years. This inspired the beautiful album 'Music & Memories' where they recorded residents' party pieces & produced them into modern/experimental works ❤️ #BBCMusicDay bbc.in/2mONuZt

!Subsidy-free UK offshore wind!
UK just contracted for 5.5GW of offshore wind at avg £41/MWh.
Delivery 2023-2025.
That's nearly £10/MWh *below expected wholesale price* so billpayers will be *paid* 100s of millions of pounds each year.

Which countries reduced their fossil CO₂ emissions the fastest (over a 10 year period), while still maintaining positive economic growth (& outside of economic crises)?
I am often asked this question, so let’s check the data…
I went full energy geek on this month's @selfbuildire Podcast talking about residential solar PV, feed-in-tariffs and Ireland's Climate Action Plan - have a listen here or on Spotify @madclaff @ire_isea soundcloud.com/selfbuild-ire… soundcloud.com/selfbuild-ire…
This anthology is a brilliant read for anyone interested in fresh ideas about the EU (and 🇮🇪's role within it).You can read my contribution on making ‘fairness’ a non-negotiable attribute in climate change policy design here: bit.ly/2XaWB36 🇪🇺Chapeau @iiea @cianfmccarthy
