In 2022, coal was responsible for 60% of the U.S. power-sector’s carbon emissions, yet only provided 20% of our nation’s power. By replacing coal with clean, affordable, and reliable #NaturalGas, we can cut emissions in half! Learn more about how embracing the partnership between natural gas and renewables can lead us on a pathway to reducing our global emissions faster: https://lnkd.in/eu8V7JAj

Today marks a historic milestone for our planet, as the UK becomes the first developed nation to quit coal. ‘Net Zero by 2030’ is becoming a reality as green tech scales up at speed, like so many transformational technologies before it, offering us all cleaner options to run our businesses and our lives. Reasons to be cheerful on a Monday! Good write up here of the critical issues, and opportunities, facing the sector. #energy #utilities #renewables https://lnkd.in/eUMgAstt

LABOR IS COSTING YOU MORE 💡 The Coaltion has a balanced energy plan, which will deliver cheaper, clean and consistent power. In contrast to Labor’s renewables only approach, which is destroying our Australian landscape and economy. #nuclearenergy

I am sure this is true, however, the problem is that the reliable generation is being deemed redundant by the truly redundant wind and solar. If you take wind and solar out of the equation it would be coal is 60% of the power sectors CO2 emissions and only provided 60% of the nation's power. If natural gas fully replaces coal, we will have the same ratios but less CO2.

As of tomorrow, 1st October, the UK's power sector will be officially coal free ✨ Coal power shrunk from 40% of UK generation in 2012, to just 2% in 2019, and now zero. In the same time period, renewables have grown from 6% to 34% of UK generation. We can repeat this success with gas, enabling more renewables with long-duration storage, but changes are needed to allow us to get there. Let's hope the UK government can apply the same rules of success (supportive policy frameworks, carbon pricing, clear targets) to the next challenge.

💚A historic moment for the UK: Yesterday, the last coal plant shut down, making the UK the first G7 nation to fully end its reliance on coal. This milestone fulfills a 2015 pledge to phase out coal by 2025. It’s a full-circle moment for the country where coal-fired electricity originated—Thomas Edison’s first coal plant in London, under contract with the UK, lit the streets in 1882. Renewables now provide 50% of the UK’s power, up from just 7% in 2010. While natural gas still accounts for a third of the grid, this progress brings us closer to a sustainable energy future. #sustainability #power

Renewables are more environmentally destructive than coal, from the point of view renewables destroy vast tracks of Wilderness, National Parks, Farmlands and Seascape. https://lnkd.in/gzkWTeqi

The energy landscape is shifting rapidly, putting unexpected pressure on the grid and delaying the retirement of fossil-fuel plants. At Unison Energy, we believe that #CHP-based microgrids offer a resilient, efficient, and sustainable solution to these challenges. By generating power on-site, #microgrids reduce reliance on the grid, cut #CarbonEmissions, and help facilities meet their #ESG targets—all while saving on energy costs. #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Microgrids #CHP #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters #EnergyEfficiency #Resilience #RenewableEnergy #UnisonEnergy Read the full article here:
