As ‘unabated’ is in the spotlight at COP28, a little bit of history:
In April 2009, the UK gov announced that it would not allow multiple new coal power plants to be built.
This followed an extensive NGO campaign + advice from the new Committee on Climate Change.

NEW dataset for exploration and download:
The HATCH, Historical Adoption of TeCHnology, dataset
Massive effort by @jennagreen22 +others @UWLaFollette @MCC_Berlin @IIASAVienna to assemble 1000s of country-level time series on adoption of 200 diverse technologies.

Neat new chart from the new @IEA CCUS report.
We may not yet have the real-world data we want for accurate cost estimates yet, but lead times are another valuable metric and are available for more projects. The variability looks typical of an early-stage, large industrial sector
New policy & business approaches are needed to support scaling up of carbon capture, utilisation & storage to help reach net zero goals
Our latest report shows CCUS is seeing unprecedented momentum, but implementation is lagging behind.

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28
It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.
Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment.

The energy world will look very different by 2030, even under today's policy settings
🚗 Nearly 10 times as many electric cars
☀️ Renewables = 80% of new power
⚡️ Electric heating outselling gas boilers
🏭 Fossil fuel demand has peaked

🗣 “Government & corporate spending on energy research & development hit record highs last year, as did venture capital bets on clean energy technologies”
More from @sijbennett on how energy R&D spending remained resilient to shocks in a turbulent 2022 👉 iea.li/460oRtI
My new @iea piece on the latest global energy innovation data for R&D spending and VC is out.
There's no shortage of risks but energy is remarkably resilient compared to VC in general.
