Siemens Energy’s Post

🌍 It was inspiring to discuss the future of climate technologies during New York Climate Week. Here are my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Over the past decade, renewable energy scaled by 10x. The next wave of climate technologies needs to scale by 100x in the coming decade. 2️⃣ This next wave of climate interventions is maturing and commercializing, poised to deliver ~45% of the required decarbonization. To succeed, we need accelerated timelines for offtake as scaling deployment by 100x can reduce unit costs by ~70%. 3️⃣ Innovative collaborations are forming to deliver solutions, such as environmental outcome-based bonds and cross-value chain partnerships. These initiatives will unlock the full potential of emerging technologies, which are expected to become economically viable within ~5 years. Let's continue to drive these innovations and partnerships forward! 🌱💡#ClimateWeekNYC #McKinseySustainability

Hi LinkedIn Community! Are you curious about how sustainable energy practices help with climate change mitigation? Well, I have some really interesting findings to share with you today! I am Haozhe Liu, an enthusiast of sustainable development. Recently, I researched sustainable energy practices and climate change mitigation in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action). With regard to “World Development Indicators” from The World Bank Group, I analyzed the relationship between CO2 emissions per capita and renewable energy use. Against some skeptics’ views, my research shows that indeed there is a positive correlation between increased use of renewable energy and less carbon dioxide emission as well—this indicates that we are moving in the right direction towards creating a stable future consistent with SDG 7 & SDG 13. During the course time, I learnt much about data visualizations and communication. If I were to give it a score now on reflection, it would be eight out of ten. It has been not easy though fruitful experience that will enable me apply this expertise to my upcoming professional goals. Watch my three minute presentation on this topic please. @Poon Leung @ Mr Z Gong #ClimateChange #SustainableEnergy #SDG7 #SDG13 #DataAnalysis#unswDataVisComm 

IESVic Energy Brief 💡 Shifting Perceptions on Net Zero: Growing Awareness, Polarized Views by Truzaar Dordi, Katya Rhodes, Basma Majerbi, and Madeleine McPherson. Key messages ▪ News media coverage on net zero and across key stakeholders is increasingly polarized ▪ Policy design should consider the interests of different stakeholders ▪ Tailored communications strategies can help build consensus ▪ Researchers and policymakers should engage with media outlets to promote balanced narratives What would you like to see in the next brief?

Exciting news from the EU! ✨The European Parliament has passed the Net-Zero Industry Act, aimed at boosting decarbonization technology manufacturing. This initiative will enhance the EU's capabilities in solar, thermal tech, and renewable solutions, paving the way towards climate neutrality. 🎓 The Act also introduces Net-Zero Industry Academies to train professionals, ensuring well-prepared team to drive forward these innovative technologies. This move not only boosts the EU's competitive edge but also aligns with its 2030 climate and energy targets, marking a significant step towards sustainable industrial development. 🌱 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dP9HScUz #Sustainability #ESG #EUClimateAction #CleanTech #ESGFlo

Energy, cleantech, and climate innovators, leaders, and researchers CALL FOR PROPOSALS now open for the May 2024 Global Sustainable Islands Summit in Prince Edward Island. See below if you are interested in presenting, and/or please share with colleagues and industry associations that might be, in one of these areas: - Renewable Energy Implementation. - Energy Efficiency Advancements. - Green Technologies. - Climate Change Mitigation. - Transitioning to a Low-Carbon Future.

"Beyond the conventional definitions of energy projects, which typically focus on large capital expenditures, there is a burgeoning recognition of the value in projects aimed at operational efficiency. Engineers might traditionally define efficiency in terms of cost-savings, but in the age of climate change, using fewer resources to achieve greater outputs translates directly into reduced carbon emissions. The beauty of energy efficiency projects is their minimal upfront carbon cost, virtually eliminating the risk of exacerbating emissions." Vicki Knott, P.Eng Knott's article with ADIPEC Exhibition and Conference discusses the challenging landscape of global decarbonization and the complex terrain involved in reducing carbon emissions worldwide:

🌍💡 I am happy to share my latest article for illuminem on the topic of Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) technologies! 🌱 Following the IPCC's discussion of the technology, public financing can supercharge DACCS by backing research, pilot projects, and market creation. This support is key to refining these technologies and achieving significant climate goals. Key Points: 🔹 DACCS captures CO2 directly from the air, storing it in safe geological formations. 🔹 Public funds can de-risk early investments, encouraging private sector participation. 🔹 Key benefits include potential contributions to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and developing new industrial bases. 🔹 Major challenges include high costs, political and economic stability, and balanced climate strategies. The path forward requires a coordinated effort among public and private sectors to ensure DACCS reaches its full potential in combating climate change. 🌎🔧💰 #ClimateAction #Innovation #Sustainability #DACCS #PublicFunding #GreenTech #ClimateChange #CarbonCapture Maria Rugamer, Sophie Rose, emlyon business school Xavier Blot, Guillaume Coqueret, Sophie Meritet, Christophe Bonnery https://lnkd.in/eTjQ4b_p

About 97 percent of scientists agree that humanity contributes to #climatechange, but that is not the case among the non-empirically inclined larger society. Only 12 percent of #US citizens are aware of these facts most surely believed among scientists, the percentage awareness is a bit higher in #Europe. In this article published in Conversation, Manel Poch Espallargas and Gonzalo Delacámara attempt to close the gap. Co2nversions works closely with businesses and organisations to identify and implement projects that reduce #greenhouse gas emissions such as renewable energy installations, energy efficiency upgrades and #deforestation prevention initiatives. We embrace #innovation by empowering cutting edge technology, supporting pioneering in #cleantech, from carbon management to #renewable markets.

The latest United Nations #SDGReport reveals a critical moment for our planet, with just 17% of targets for the Sustainable Development Goals currently on track for 2030, and over one third stalled or regressing. ⚠ While some positive progress has been made, including the growth of renewable energy and internet access, change is not yet happening fast enough or at the scale we need. The science is clear, and the solutions are within reach. Now it's time to act with urgency and optimism to deliver on these vital promises. ⏳ As a member of the UN SDG Media Compact, we’re committed to supporting progress on the #SDGs through providing free access to credible, high-quality footage of the major issues and solutions.
