Siemens Gamesa’s Post

The next Blue Sky Series Seminar is coming up next Wednesday evening, and we are glad to be hosting Professor Hiroshi Ohta (Waseda University), presenting on “Japan’s Green Transformation (GX): Its Potential and Limitations”. Presentation Synopsis:  Japan has seemingly caught up with European countries and other frontrunner countries in a climate change mitigation and decarbonization race by setting an ambitious greenhouse gas reduction target and carbon-neutrality policy under the Suga administration in the runup to the UN climate conference (COP21) in 2021. The successor Kishida administration launched the Green Transformation (GX) policy to articulate Japan's net-zero carbon neutrality policy further. However, when we scrutinize the GX policy, we find discrepancies between it and the decarbonization objective. The author demonstrates this inconsistency by comparing GX core policy items and desirable policies to pursue decarbonization, especially shedding light on Japan's renewable energy policy and renewable energy's potential. Japan is abundant in renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, and among them, wind power is a relatively untapped natural energy. So, the author pays extra attention to the status of wind power development and a way to accelerate it. Finally, he briefly analyzes why Japan is still a laggard in renewable energy development even though it can simultaneously mitigate climate change and energy insecurity and reduce energy costs.

Was excited to be part of the Uralsk Green Forum on 20 September. I've always dreamed working for a company that developes alternative sources of energy. In Kazakhstan, we have so much sun and wind, which can be used for generation of renewable energy. And here we are at KPO developing wind, sun and thermal energy generation projects! The energy challenges that we all face globally is not a fiction anymore, it's not somewhere out there in other countries or continents, it is real here and now. The future of our children depends on us, what we do now, how we address the climate change issues. Everyone's input does matter. You can choose to contribute or not, these changes in climate will impact you anyway. www.ugf.kz #greentechnologies #climatechange

🔋 2050: A World Powered by 100% Renewables? 🔋 Can we really achieve a world powered entirely by renewable energy by 2050? In the fourth article of “The Future of Energy Systems and Global Energy Trends,” we explore the technological, political, and economic factors that could make this vision a reality. 👉 https://bit.ly/4g5dq90 #RenewableEnergy #2050Goals #Sustainability #ClimateAction

🌍 To understand how companies in the energy sector expect the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) market to grow, here is a report by DNV and findings reveal that CCUS is one of many tools set to play a vital role in several important areas but needs to expand much more rapidly than currently forecasted. 📒 The report discusses: · Why CCUS is one of many tools needed in the race for net zero · Why CCUS needs to grow faster than currently forecasted · What role policy support plays in CCUS deployments · Which sectors are major drivers of CCUS deployments · Which sectors are planning to increase investment in CCUS in the year ahead 🛑 To keep global warming under 1.5°C the world needs to significantly expand the scale of technological solutions that capture, utilize, and store CO2 (CCUS).

What are the effects of solar geoengineering on lowering emissions with renewable energies? Check out my article on CarbonBrief where I discuss my two latest publications. #SolarGeoengineering #RenewableEnergy #SRM #CarbonBrief

Solar power, form of renewable energy generated by the conversion of solar energy (namely sunlight) and artificial light into electricity. In the 21st century, as countries race to cut greenhouse gas emissions to curb the unfolding climate crisis, the transition to renewable energies has become a critical strategy. Virtually nonpolluting and abundantly available, solar power stands in stark contrast to the combustion of fossil fuels (namely coal, petroleum, and natural gas) that are driving global warming and has become increasingly attractive to individuals, businesses, and governments on the path to sustainability. The potential for solar energy conversion is enormous, since ...(100 of 914 words)

[ANNIVERSARY] 🔔📣📢 November 18th 1974...Happy Birthday International Energy Agency (IEA) 🎁🎂🥂🍾 💡🧐🔎 Throughout its 50-year history, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has evolved from focusing primarily on oil security to addressing broader energy issues, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and climate change mitigation. Today, the International Energy Agency (IEA) plays a crucial role in shaping global energy policy and providing data and analysis on the entire energy sector 💧🔋⚡ #TogetherForOurPlanet #COP29 #NetZeroTargets #CleanEnergyTechnologies #CleanSustainableSolutions #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

"No new fossil fuel projects needed" - who would have guessed? 🤔 Peer-reviewed paper clearly states that future energy demand does not need new fossil fuel generation - Renewable energy additions can cover all new demand. This is an important conclusion, which should be vocalised more, especially at a time when rhetoric over the role of fossil fuel in addressing climate change is escalating.
