In this episode of Energy Evolution, host Eklavya Gupte speaks with Tim Gould, chief energy economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA). Gould shares his insights on how the expansion of renewables, coupled with geopolitics and evolving economic policies, is reshaping energy security. Gould explains the need to adapt energy supply security measures as the growth of clean energy leads to new risks, such as those arising from critical minerals and supply chain vulnerabilities. He also tells us how the IEA is beginning to see some shifts in broader energy investment trends due to a “climate of uncertainty" exacerbated by escalating trade tensions. This interview was recorded at the Summit on the Future of Energy Security in London, where representatives from over 60 governments and several energy companies convened to collaborate on the key issues facing energy markets. Energy Evolution has merged with Platts Future Energy, and episodes are now regularly published on Tuesdays.

Group Head of Research, Harry Tchilinguirian,  is joined by Chief Economist at Argus Media, David Fyfe for a special episode of Oil Insights. David brings over 30 years of experience in energy market analysis, from the International Energy Agency (IEA) to Gunvor and now Argus Media, where he delivers deep insights into oil market dynamics, geopolitical risk, and macroeconomic fundamentals.With the election of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States, Harry and David explore the potential impacts on the oil market through both economic and geopolitical lenses. From sanctions on Iran and Venezuela to shifting alliances in the Middle East and implications for OPEC+, they delve into what a Trump administration could mean for global oil supplies and prices.David and Harry discuss the complex web of relationships involving sanctioned nations, including the evolving US-Russia dynamic and how Trump's rapport with Saudi Arabia and Israel might influence geopolitical stability. They also explore the ramifications of Trump's trade policies, especially with China, and the possible effects on global economic growth and oil demand.On the domestic front, they analyse the prospects for US oil and gas production under Trump's energy policies and whether we could see a revival of the "drill baby drill" mantra. Finally, Harry and Davis assess the current state of oil market fundamentals as 2024 nears its close, the ongoing debate around oil demand forecasts, and OPEC+'s options in managing supply amid an uncertain market outlook.#oott #oil #oilandgas #energy #derivatives  #economics #Trump #Election #Harris #2024Election

The long term demand outlook for natural gas continues to improve. India is likely to double its consumption by 2040, and much of that will rely on imports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This will offset coal consumption, lowering local pollution as well as CO2 emissions. The International Energy Agency (IEA), normally a tireless promoter […]

The International Energy Agency (IEA) released their 2024 World Energy Outlook last week. The IEA has become a renewables cheerleader in recent years, issuing projections of energy consumption that are frequently implausible. However, they still produce a Stated Policies Scenario (“STEPS”) which omits their more fanciful projections. Electricity demand from data centers has been a […]

For the world to meet its growing need for low-cost clean energy and achieve ambitious decarbonization targets, land-based onshore wind energy must be an increasingly large part of the electricity generation mix—potentially as much as 20-41% by 2050, according to BloombergNEF and the International Energy Agency (IEA). But there is a challenge: the most efficient and cost-effective wind turbines, currently applied only in offshore wind farms, have enormous blades—some longer than a football field. That makes them extremely difficult, if not impossible, to deliver and deploy, as bridges, tunnels, and road curves literally get in the way.To explore how the onshore wind industry can overcome these obstacles and drive further growth for the sector, Gil Jenkins spoke with Mark Lundstrom, Founder and CEO of Radia. Mark is a serial cross-industry entrepreneur and MIT aerospace engineer who has co-founded companies over the course of his career that seek to bring aerospace solutions to new sectors, including biotech, telecommunications, and materials science. With Radia, Mark is focused on applying these technologies to the low-carbon energy transition. Radia is in the process of building the world's largest aircraft, which will enable the deployment of the industry's biggest and best wind turbines to locations they could never reach before—creating more clean power at a lower cost.Links:Radia WebsiteMark Lundstrom on LinkedInRadia on LinkedInPress Release:Radia to Provide Low-Cost Clean Energy with the World's Biggest Wind Turbines Enabled by the World's Largest Aircraft (March 17, 2024)Press Release: Aerospace Leaders Aernnova, Leonardo and AFuzion Will Partner With Radia to Build WindRunner™, World's Largest Aircraft (July 16, 2024)Whitepaper: DeSolve Study: GigaWind has enormous economic and environmental impact (Princeton University researchers Dr. Jesse Jenkins and Dr. Nestor Sepulveda - September 1, 2023)Episode recorded August 22, 2024  Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, and Hilary at climatepositive@hasi.com or tweet them to @ClimatePosiPod.

A net-zero world would require 306 million tonnes of green hydrogen to be produced annually by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). That would require something in the region of 3,000GW of electrolysers and 6,000GW of renewable energy, based on current technology. Considering the world had only installed 3,371GW of renewables by the end of last year (according to the International Renewable Energy Agency [Irena]) — and that the planet will need about 30,000GW of renewable energy to decarbonise the global electricity supply, that's a fairly tall order. Based on the notion that economies of scale would reduce the cost of green hydrogen production, several developers have announced massive and extremely ambitious projects that aim to meet much of the world's future demand for clean H2. But what is the current situation? Is the strong expansion of green hydrogen projects succeeding worldwide? Do we even need them for a sustainable, future-proof energy industry? We talk about this with Dr. Thomas Hillig, Founder of THEnergy. Timeline 02:13 Hydrogen seems to be all about Gigawatt projects – if we read the latest news. Is this true or fiction? 04:00 Less than one percent of the hydrogen produced worldwide still comes from renewable sources and can therefore claim to be "green". Can green hydrogen even be economically viable in the long term? 06:09 Why are so few projects being realized? A few years ago, we read in the media about numerous major projects in the hydrogen sector; it seemed to be the next big thing? 10:13 Is hydrogen comparable to solar 15 years ago (when it was still more of a niche product)? 15:18 Which are the most promising applications for green hydrogen? 19:13 Where will green hydrogen be produced? And what about electrolyzers? Questions or suggestions? Then send us an email to podcast@thesmartere.com

Angela Wilkinson, Secretary General of the World Energy Council, emphasized the importance of a systems thinking approach, noting that these transitions are multifaceted and involve significant societal changes. She highlighted the necessity of collaboration and practical action, pointing out the differing approaches between the U.S. and Europe in addressing energy challenges. Dr. Wilkinson stressed that energy transitions are not merely about replacing technologies but require a deep understanding of socio-economic contexts and overcoming social opposition to achieve progress.Concerns were raised about the feasibility of energy transitions within democratic societies, with critiques of certain energy policies as authoritarian and calls for nuclear energy as a sustainable solution. Dr. Wilkinson responded by advocating for an inclusive approach considering diverse regional needs and the importance of managing energy transitions across generations. Using the metaphor of the "Energy Olympics," she illustrated the need for sustained, intergenerational effort and diverse capabilities to achieve successful energy transitions.Highlights of the Podcast00:47 - Purpose of the World Energy Council04:01 - Challenges in Energy Transition08:06 - Role of the International Energy Agency (IEA)13:01 - System Costs and Social Challenges in Energy Transition16:17 - Realism of Energy Transition18:15 - Future Projections and Practical Action19:04 - Oil and Gas Decarbonization20:20 - Energy Transition Challenges in Democratic Societies22:42 - Comparing US and European Approaches24:20 - Licensing Delays and Property Rights25:12 - Adapting to Climate Change Realities28:03 - Energy Transition as an Olympic Pentathlon Relay29:34 - Closing Remarks

The International Energy Agency (IEA), which polishes its progressive credentials every time Executive director Fatih Birol speaks from his ivory tower, is forecasting fossil fuel use to peak within a decade. Down at ground level, evidence continues to mount that fossil fuel consumption will continue to grow, led by natural gas. Williams Companies CEO Alan […]

The warning label linked to a United Nations website that highlighted what it described as “Facts” and “Myth Busters” on climate energy (here). In reviewing the 16 “facts,” we find that 2 we would agree are definitively facts, another 2-3 are factually true but start the U.N. down the road of advocacy and weaponizing the topic of climate, and the other 10-11 are a mix of opinion, advocacy, and in some cases outright falsehoods. Our concern with what the U.N. presents as “facts” is that it is the organization that oversees the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is widely (universally?) considered the authority on so-called climate science.We have spent considerable time in prior posts and videos discussing our concerns with institutional advocacy under the pretense of sober analysis from groups like the International Energy Agency (IEA), Glasgow Financial Alliance For Net Zero (GFANZ), and within bank and asset manager ESG/Sustainability groups. Frankly, we have been late to taking a closer look at the U.N. itself, most likely because we have not relied on its data directly and it has otherwise not been within the purview of our “Wall Street” approach to discussing energy and climate. The U.N. and IPCC clearly deserve greater scrutiny given their massive influence on how the world understands climate.

Hey Strangers, #ai #power #technology Late last week, both Bloomberg and The Washington Post published stories focused on the ostensibly disastrous impact artificial intelligence is having on the power grid and on efforts to collectively reduce our use of fossil fuels. The high-profile pieces lean heavily on recent projections from Goldman Sachs and the International Energy Agency (IEA) to cast AI's "insatiable" demand for energy as an almost apocalyptic threat to our power infrastructure. The Post piece even cites anonymous "some [people]" in reporting that "some worry whether there will be enough electricity to meet [the power demands] from any source." Digging into the best available numbers and projections available, though, it's hard to see AI's current and near-future environmental impact in such a dire light. While generative AI models and tools can and will use a significant amount of energy, we shouldn't conflate AI energy usage with the larger and largely pre-existing energy usage of "data centers" as a whole. And just like any technology, whether that AI energy use is worthwhile depends largely on your wider opinion of the value of generative AI in the first place. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/06/is-generative-ai-really-going-to-wreak-havoc-on-the-power-grid/ ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) issued a report forecasting an oil glut by 2030, with 113.8 Million Barrels per Day (MMB/D) of supply capacity versus demand of only 105.4 MMB/D. They expect oil demand to plateau over the next few years. By contrast, OPEC sees continued demand growth, albeit slowing to around 1 MMB/D by […]

The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its 2024 iteration of its flagship World Energy Investment (WEI) report this week, with a wealth of insights into the latest investment trends across the global energy landscape that aims to support corporates and investors in assessing risks and opportunities across the energy ecosystem. In this week's podcast, Ehsan Khoman, Head of Research – Commodities, ESG and Emerging Markets (EMEA), evaluates the key findings of the WEI 2024 report with specific reference to transition finance tools that are emerging as a promising means to drive more capital into hard-to-abate sectors.

In this episode of Energy Transition Talk, we talk about the future of the energy workforce and how we can recruit and prepare the next generation energy workforce for the energy transition.  The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates that adopting clean energy technologies will create 14 million jobs by 2030. However, many students, concerned about the fossil fuel industry's role in climate change and its job security risks, are turning away from careers traditionally associated with the fossil fuel industry, like petroleum engineering and mining. This can create a shortage of positions needed for the energy transition. The energy transition will depend on engineers, electricians, plumbers, and mechanics—just to name a few—to build the infrastructure needed for the energy transition (think power lines, heat pumps, and wind turbines). So if you're thinking about pursuing a career in STEM or energy more broadly – we need you!  How can we manage this critical transition in the energy workforce? To talk about this challenge, Justine chats with Dr. Barbara Ransom, an internationally known geoscientist at the National Science Foundation. They discuss current trends in the energy workforce, the broad range of skills we'll need for the energy transition, the implications of artificial intelligence (AI), and the challenges and potential solutions to increasing interest in STEM and green jobs.  Jim then speaks with Abhinav Vishal, a petroleum engineering student at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology in India, about the role that petroleum engineering can play in the energy transition.  02:33 Interview with Dr. Ransom 37:51 Interview with Abhinav Vishal  53:57 Concluding Remarks  Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast so you can automatically get access to our new episodes – you can find us on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the market size of key energy transition minerals has doubled over the past five years. The IEA predicts another doubling of demand for those same minerals by 2030. What are the environmental, social, and governance impacts of a ramped up critical minerals sector? Join Maria Knapp, Yadaira Orsini, and Rob Bailes as they dissect how companies can best approach a sector that is evolving at a rapid pace, but which comes with significant risks, including pollution, poor working conditions, and increased regulation. Explore our take the critical minerals sector here.  

In recent years the International Energy Agency (IEA) has moved from providing objective forecasts to championing the world's shift away from fossil fuels. In embracing a liberal political stance they've lost relevance to companies and governments making investment decisions to meet future demand. For example, the IEA projects peak oil demand within the next few […]

This year will see a significant milestone: renewable sources are poised to constitute over a third of global electricity generation, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). With the ambitious pledge set out at COP28 - to triple renewable capacity by 2030 - still high on the agenda of global energy policy, much focus is on the capability of electricity grids to deliver on increased demand. What infrastructural and regulatory frameworks need updating as we move toward 50% renewable generation, and towards the ultimate goal of 100%? As electrification increases, a modern grid is essential to handle the load.So how can countries continue the significant progress that's already been made in increasing renewable generation, and evolve our grids for the future?In this episode, Laura and Carolyn are joined by National Grid's Reihaneh Irani-Famili (VP capital delivery, project management and construction) and Sara Habib (Head of future price controls) to discuss the tripling of renewable energy generation. How will it happen and how do make sure the grids can cope? China's huge solar deployment has created competition globally in manufacturing as well as research and development, so the discussion naturally revolves around policy planning in the UK and US, grid modernisation and the balance between energy security, affordability and decarbonisation. What are the plans to modernise the grid to keep up with forecasted clean energy demand? Find out on The Clean Energy Revolution.Discover more about National Grid at www.nationalgrid.com

Hear from Dr. Jakob Thomae, Project Director for the Inevitable Policy Response, as we discuss their latest forecast and what it means for the transition to net-zero. Scenario analysis is the natural tool for anyone wanting to understand how climate-related risks might evolve over coming decades. The vast majority of climate scenarios, regardless of who produced them or what level of warming they predict, tend to report similar levels of physical risk over the next couple of decades or so. However, predictions about transition risk tend to be quite different between scenarios. This episode focuses in on the transition, and in particular the extraordinary work being done by the Inevitable Policy Response (IPR) to figure out the most likely course of the transition to net zero. We'll explore: ·         The IPR's surprisingly optimistic forecast, and they believe the world might look like by the end of the century; ·         The methodology behind their forecast, and how it differs from the scenarios produced by other groups; and ·         What this forecast means for risk and finance professionals.

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, hosts Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss top headlines. They start with the Biden administration's consideration of banning natural gas exports to China, aiming for a climate win but potentially harming the U.S. energy industry.

Bridging the gap and overcoming barriers in CCS expansionIt's no secret that achieving net-zero emissions requires a significant reduction in the use of fossil fuels. As the world looks to alternative energy sources to combat climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS) emerges as a key technology enabling industries to decarbonize. By capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at their source and storing them underground, CCS can significantly mitigate the environmental impact of industries that are otherwise hard to green, such as cement production and power generation.The International Energy Agency (IEA) has set an ambitious goal for CCS, expecting it to capture around 6 billion tons of CO2 by 2051 with notable advancements within the coming years. Innovations in CCS technology aim to address concerns of scalability and cost, making it more accessible and financially feasible for industries to adopt. Aker Carbon Capture is a provider with some major projects underway, and they've signed an MoU with Microsoft to pursue joint innovation in the space. David Banmiller sits down with Microsoft's Ole Henrik Ree, and Aker Carbon Capture's Hanne Rolen, and David Phillips, to discuss the crucial role played by CCS in achieving a more sustainable future.We conclude with a discussion about the 'Carbon Capture as a Service' (CCaaS) model, a shift aimed at enhancing accessibility and practicality, and the journey towards achieving net-zero emissions.Subscribe to the Interchange Recharged so you don't miss an episode.

As the G20 host, India deftly managed geopolitics, especially Russia-Ukraine, while driving energy and climate discussions. Topics like renewable energy, critical minerals, and sustainable finance took center stage, likely impacting the upcoming COP summit. India's challenge is finding unity among diverse priorities, addressing resource nationalism, and aligning nations in various green energy stages. The G20 Leaders' Summit underscores the quest for consensus on issues like fossil fuel abatement amidst complex political landscapes. To understand what the key themes of energy and climate are in the G20, what the sticking points are, and how they will shape the global dialogue on energy transition, we interviewed Swati D'Souza, India Lead Analyst and Coordinator at International Energy Agency (IEA), who provides insights into India's efforts and the key points of discussion during the G20 summit.

Frank is out of the office, so I (Daniel) am taking the reins on today's show.   The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is in—and the sharp rise in energy prices is dominating the report. I break down what's behind the surge… and why the situation creates a big problem for the Fed.   Speaking of energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects oil demand to peak before 2030 as clean energy replaces fossil fuels. I explain why I don't believe this will happen… and why you'd be wise to have exposure to oil & gas right now. And I highlight a report from over 1,600 scientists on why climate change isn't as dire as the media makes it sound.   The Wall Street Journal recently ran a story about how amateur investors are piling into risky option bets. I recap the article… and explain why this strategy has worse odds than the casinos in Vegas. But that doesn't mean you can't use it to your advantage. I share a few tips on how to turn the odds in your favor… and a brokerage firm benefiting from the trend.   In this episode Energy prices are dominating the CPI [2:05] Why I don't think we'll see peak oil demand by 2030 [8:25] Over 1,600 scientists say not to worry about climate change [15:00] Amateur investors are making risky option trades [19:45] A brokerage to add to your watchlist [25:50]   Enjoyed this episode?

Last month we learned from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that investment in clean energy is now significantly outpacing investment in fossil fuels. But as the IEA's top man told us, the scales need to tip much farther toward renewables, and around 90% of spending is currently being done by richer nations and China. What's needed is some kind of global financing pact perhaps to ramp up investment in poorer parts of the world which need support to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis, while ensuring they also have access to cleaner energy in the future. Right now, more than 100 heads of state and government leaders, policy makers, and institutions -- including the UN, the IMF and the World Bank -- are meeting in Paris to talk about just that. Immersed in these critical discussions is former Secretary of State John Kerry, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. He joins Julia to discuss. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Narendra Taneja serves as chairman of the Independent Energy Policy Institute, a think tank based in New Delhi, and is a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. He presides over the World Energy Policy Summit and was president of the World Oil and Gas Assembly from 2001 to 2011. With expertise in energy policy, transition, geopolitics, governance, and energy security, Taneja is recognized as a powerful voice on energy and climate, especially in the context of the Global North and the Global South. Currently surpassing China as the world's most populous country, India is the world's fifth-largest economy and the third-largest electricity producer. Despite the country's vulnerability to climate change impacts, its historical cumulative emissions account for a relatively small portion, standing at 3.4%. This places India as the seventh highest emitter among nation states, according to Carbon Brief, with the United States and China leading at 20.3% and 11.4% of emissions, respectively. Taneja sheds light on India's energy landscape, leading our discussion from statistical insights to a dynamic exploration of global collaboration for the energy transition and climate change. His compelling arguments are highly engaging and thought-provoking, and will likely cause almost every listener of this podcast to stop and think.In this episode, we cover: [03:13]: Recent developments in India's energy economy[04:49]: How India views climate and energy as two sides of the same coin[07:02]: Overview of India's energy grid infrastructure[08:29]: India's energy mix and new government incentives[10:05]: The current grassroots solar revolution[12:52]: India's history with coal and energy security challenges[18:46]: The Global North bias in climate narratives[25:15]: Risks of excluding developing nations from global climate conversations[31:13]: The need for a new democratic climate governance order[33:45]: The risks and reasons for a lack of global energy governance[36:16]: The International Energy Agency (IEA)'s exclusion of India and China[39:59]: The need for a new global bank for climate finance[46:32]: What it takes to create a new global organization[48:01]: India and China's history and return to the global center of gravity[52:15]: The Global North's resistance to change and how global power dynamics will shift in the next 30 years[54:42]: Narendra's thoughts on the European Union as a project[57:56]: India's investments in Russian oil[01:04:00]: Decentering the US and the "us or them" worldviewGet connected: Narendra TanejaCody SimmsMCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on May 12, 2023

According to a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global investment in clean energy is on course to rise to $1.7 trillion this year. In fact, investment in solar power is set to exceed oil for the first time ever. But there's still major concern about the unevenness of that growth. The IEA points out that more than 90% of that increase comes from advanced economies and China. Joining Julia to discuss is IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.  Also on today's show: World Bank President David Malpass, who's stepping down on June 30 after serving more than four years. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Former Ford CEO Mark Fields believes that Tesla is one generation ahead of its competitors in the EV race, despite its stock dropping around 7% after its investor day presentation failed to confirm any new car models. Tesla's keys to winning the EV race come down to product appeal, software or user interface, controlling cost, and consistent execution. Tesla has started installing its fourth-generation Supercharger posts in Europe with longer cables to reach charging ports of different EV models, according to Tesla's Head of Global Charging Infrastructure, Rebecca Tinucci. The company's charging network is now the world's largest global fast-charging network with over 40,000 Superchargers in 46 countries. Tesla has opened up its Supercharger network in North America to non-Tesla EVs at 8 Supercharger locations in New York and 2 in California, fitted with the new "magic dock" interface. Ccharging costs vary by location but Tesla offers a membership for reduced charging rates. Tesla has been granted over $330 million in tax incentives by the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development board for the company's new electric semi truck and battery manufacturing facility, as part of an expansion of Tesla's Nevada Gigafactory. In return, Tesla has committed to investing $3.6 billion over 10 years and hiring 3,000 new employees with an average wage of $33.49 per hour. Ford has announced plans to resume production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck on March 13 after a battery issue caused one of the vehicles to catch fire. The resumption of production will be watched closely as Ford seeks to compete in the growing electric vehicle market. Polestar, the EV brand owned by Volvo Cars and Geely, announced an 84% increase in revenue for 2022 and halved its net loss to $466m. The company aims to launch two new EV models this year and increase its deliveries by nearly 60% to around 80,000 cars. Vietnamese automaker VinFast has delivered the first batch of 45 vehicles to US customers amid doubts about the company's corporate health. CleanTechnica confirms VinFast's assembly process is on track and the company has delivered over 4,278 EVs to local customers in Vietnam. Buick China has revealed the interior of its upcoming battery-electric crossover, the Electra E5, which boasts advanced technology such as a 30-inch EyeMax curved OLED screen and wireless charging. The vehicle is expected to launch in China before mid-year and in the U.S. for the 2024 model year. LG Energy Solutions and Honda have broken ground on a new joint venture battery plant in Ohio, representing a $4.4 billion investment and the creation of 2,200 new jobs. The plant will produce lithium-ion batteries to power Honda vehicles for North American consumers, with the goal of shifting to 100% EV sales by 2040. Aston Martin is set to reveal a future model lineup that includes a new full-electric car at a capital markets day for investors this summer, according to Chairman Lawrence Stroll. The luxury carmaker is currently overhauling its three core front-engine sports cars, the DB11, the Vantage, and the DBS, with the first to be delivered to customers this autumn. First Bus has ordered an additional 117 electric buses from Wrightbus to operate in four UK cities, with additional funding from the British government. This order, along with the previous one, will enable First Bus to operate over 600 electric buses by March 2024 and supports the company's goal of being CO2 neutral by 2035 Redwood Materials has completed its first year of recycling electric vehicle (EV) batteries and has recovered over 95% of lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and other metals from 1,268 battery packs weighing over 500,000 lbs. The company says the cost driver is logistics, which will reduce over time as end-of-life pack volumes increase. Daimler Buses is transforming its Mannheim plant into a center for electric city buses, and it will invest around €150m in both its German plants by the end of the decade. The company plans to offer CO2-neutral vehicles in all segments in Europe and Latin America by 2030, and it aims to sell only fully electric vehicles for city buses in Europe. Renewable energy sources in the UK generated more electricity than gas during the winter season, producing enough energy to power every home in the UK. The progress was made through the use of wind, hydro, and solar energy, and is in line with the UK government's goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that while global carbon dioxide emissions have increased, the growth has been tempered by a surge in renewable energy. The growth in renewable energy is driven by an increase in wind and solar installations and more supportive government policies, and the IEA emphasizes the need to accelerate the transition to renewable energy to achieve a sustainable future. A new study from the European Heat Pump Association and the European Heat Pump Network shows that heat pumps are significantly cheaper than green hydrogen for producing heat in Europe. Decarbonizing heating is a critical part of the EU's goal to reach net-zero by 2050, and the study highlights the role of heat pumps in achieving it.

Today I wanted to expand on a theme I have been writing about for a while: that the green energy revolution is anything but green. In fact, the amount of metal required and the amount of fossil fuel needed to be burnt to make it happen means it will be extraordinarily damaging to the environment, while unprecedented amounts of CO2 will be released into the atmosphere.Moreover, unlike the inflation that resulted from Covid and the Ukraine war, which might yet prove temporary, Net Zero will produce inflation that will be prolonged and entrenched. In other words, Net Zero is not only deluded, but it will also be extremely damaging, both to the planet and to people's lives.Here we explain why - and what to do to protect your wealth.How much more metal do we need to achieve Net Zero?I stumbled across a super talk this week by Mark Mills, author and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, called "The Energy Transition Delusion: Inescapable Mineral Realities". He argues that the current energy transition to renewable is based on a flawed understanding of the resources required to make it happen. Most of the evidence cited here is cited from that talk.Today the world gets a little under 4% of its total energy supply from wind and solar. That's one-third as much energy as it gets from burning wood. I couldn't believe that stat when I read it - are we still burning that much wood? - but that's what the International Energy Agency (IEA) says. Wood still provides 350% more energy to the world than all the world's wind turbines and solar power combined.To get to this 4% level the world has directly spent something like $5 trillion (more than double UK GDP) in the last 15 years, and probably the same amount again in indirect spending, says Mills. An electric vehicle requires 400% more metal than a conventional car. To build a machine to replace a gas turbine, you need 1,000% to 2,000% more mineral to deliver the same unit of power. To deliver the same mile of driving, the same hour of heat, the same hour of lighting or the same hour of computer time the extra minerals required amount to anything from 2,000% to 7,000%Overall this amounts to an increase in mineral demand in the order of 700% to 4,000%. “Not to put too fine a hyperbolic a point on this,” says Mills, “this would be the largest single increase in demand or supply of metals in all of human history. It's never happened.”Where is all this metal going to come from?Mining cannot increase output whether by 700% or 4,000%, not in the next decade, nor in time for the Net Zero deadlines.We are thinking in terms of kilowatt hours instead of in terms of tonnage - and tonnage is what's required to get those kilowatt hours. Mills says, “It requires both the extraction and movement of a quantity of materials equal to or greater than the quantities of materials that humanity extracts and moves and grows for all other purposes combined. The world's not capable of doing that with the technologies that exist.”Where is all this new metal going to come from? To take a mine from exploration and discovery to production takes 16 years. Even if you relax regulation (unlikely) and accelerate investment (not so easy) you are only at best going to shave a few years off that. To go out and explore for mines and develop them requires investment, which the industry has been starved of since 2011. What's more, there's no guarantee you will ever get a payback: exploration has a success rate of about one in a thousand. Let's say you do discover something and start building a mine, what if commodity prices come down? You lose a lot more than your shirt.Then there's the political risk, whether from activists campaigning to get your mine closed (many mine plans in Chile, for example, which is supposed to be a mining hub, have lately been ditched because of such objection) or from governments seizing the produce. Burkina Faso's energy & mines ministry issued a statement on Tuesday saying it had "commandeered" 200kg of gold from Endeavour Mining's operations for "public necessity". The company will be compensated for its value, the statement added without providing further detail. Mining is starved of finance yet “the mining industry needs to deliver new projects at a frequency and consistent level of financing never previously accomplished,” says energy research company Wood McKenzie. Currently, the world is not even investing 10% of what's required. Then there is the issue of refining. This is a major geopolitical and strategic issue. China dominates refining. 40% of the global copper supply is refined there, 35% nickel, 65% cobalt, 87% rare earth, 58% lithium. Never mind the strategic questions of handing China that much power, how environmentally friendly do you think Chinese refining is going to be? Chinese coal production for power generation hit a record last year. What will happen to energy and metal prices in all of this? Currently metals prices are a whisper in the broader inflation clamour. A sustained increase in the price of metals and energy of 300% or 400% will push up overall inflation. There is only so much you can hide with subsidies. Now let's look at another cost, the environmental cost.As humans have extracted natural resources from the earth, they have become increasingly difficult to find and extract. A hundred years ago average copper grades were 4%. That is to say for every hundred tonnes of ore you process you might get four tonnes of copper. Today average grades have fallen to 1%. Other rarer metals require much more ore to be processed.“A half tonne battery,” says Mills, “requires 250 tonnes of ore to be processed somewhere”.  How the energy transition leads to pollution and climate changeTo produce the materials needed to realise Net Zero “will see the world consume fuels and emit carbon dioxide at levels that are unprecedented in mining history”, says Mills. Just nuts.Every time someone buys an electric vehicle (EV), they are essentially purchasing the previous consumption of 25 barrels of oil equivalent - half oil, half coal and natural gas. These hydrocarbons will have been burnt before even the first electron moves into its batteries on the road. By the time the electric vehicle first makes it to the parking space outside your home, it has already emitted 14 tons of CO2, compared to the 5 tonnes for the conventional vehicle. It's not until the vehicle passes 60,000 miles that you end up with a net reduction. Humans require more and more energy as we grow more sophisticated. The Industrial Revolution increased energy demand. The automobile increased energy demand. The aeroplane increased energy demand. Computing increased energy demand. Drones and robots and AI are all going to increase energy demand. Surely, the answer is not to turn our backs on fossil fuels. The focus should be on developing cleaner and more efficient fossil fuel technologies, as well as improving renewable technologies.Unfortunately, the focus on renewable energy technologies has diverted attention and investment from the development of the cleaner and more efficient fossil fuel technologies we need.How to invest in the Net Zero transition So how to play all this? Do you think Net Zero diktats are going to change? I don't. Governments are too scared of the environmental lobby to change tack. The way to protect yourself, I'd say, is to be long energy and long commodities. The likes of BHP or Glencore at the safer end of the market to juniors at the riskier end.However, what I have described above is not currently being displayed in energy and metals prices. Either the market has already digested and discounted the story, or it feels it is too far away to matter, or it thinks that governments will pivot, or it is not yet priced in.

ENVIRONMENT AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND IEA PLAN TO UKThe Environment Audit Committee, from Parliament, has recommended the UK Government implement the ideas from the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s ten-point plan to reduce oil usage. Some of the suggestions are reducing the speed limits by at least 10km/h, allowing cars to enter cities on alternate days of the week, encouraging working from home and more. Click here to read the article on Autocar. For the IEA plan, click this link here. FUEL STILL TOO EXPENSIVEWhilst the wholesale price of oil has dropped, particularly in December, the retail price has not matched the same pace. This comes as no surprise to anyone, mind you. There has been seemingly constant calls on the big retailers, including supermarkets, to drop their prices more than they have, but to no avail. Click here to learn more, from a Motoring Research article. POTHOLE DAMAGE UP 34% SINCE 2016In another piece of news that is not surprising in any shape or form, we find out that damage to cars from potholes has risen 34% since 2016. The suggestion is that due to the cold and the wet, which this winter has treated the UK to, the quality of roads will deteriorate further, meaning even more claims. Sunday was ‘National Pothole Day', as promoted by Admiral insurance. Click here for more, from Motoring Research.

Another year of explosive growth for the Solar Industry: production above 300GW, +45% yoy. What's behind this staggering growth? How are the supply chain evolving? What are the “Fab four” and what new technology are they pursuing? Why are the prices not going down? How can the development of ESG in supply chain be assessed? How will the industry look in 5 years?So many questions for this booming industry and it is just starting: Solar PV capacity is expected to almost treble over the 2022-2027 period, growing by 1.5TW and surpassing coal as the largest source of power capacity worldwide, according to a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). In its “Renewables 2022” report, the IEA expects renewables to grow by 2.4TW over the next five-year period, with an acceleration of installations in the residential and commercial rooftop market globally to help reduce energy bills. We needed answers; that's why we brought Finlay Colville on the show. Finlay is Head of Research PV-Tech and Solar Media and the most widely admired expert around the world for his insights. (Especially now that we are wondering about the fate of our Queen of Solar, Jenny Chase, who gave up the Head of Solar at BNEF. Jenny told me she is still active. We send her our love and respect).Finlay strongly believes that the Solar industry will reach a 1TW capacity in this very decade, which is a total gamechanger than the incumbents are totally oblivious to.Gerard and Laurent agree 100%. “The incumbent energy industry has literally no idea what's coming for them”-------Find more of Finlay Colville analysis herehttps://www.pv-tech.org/https://www.solarmedia.co.uk/--------A warm salute to our friends of Solar Power Europe.https://www.solarpowereurope.org/-------We thank the Green Recruitment Company for supporting the show.

War. Inflation. Supply shortfalls. The global energy system looks much different than a year ago, thanks to a confluence of disruptive forces for oil and natural gas. Ever-cheaper renewables, electric cars, and stronger climate policies are putting peak fossil fuel consumption in sight.  How will these competing factors play out in the coming decade and beyond?  This fall, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published the latest version of its flagship report, the World Energy Outlook (WEO). It examines the state of the global energy system and maps out a variety of decarbonization scenarios for the future.  This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Laura Cozzi. Laura is the chief energy modeler at the IEA . She also serves as the head of the demand outlook division, and is responsible for producing the annual World Energy Outlook. Laura has been with the IEA for more than 20 years and has co-authored multiple editions of the WEO.  Jason talks with Laura about this year's analysis – and the various scenarios outlined in the report. They discuss the prospect for a peak in fossil fuel consumption, the impact of increased investments in clean energy, and the long-term impacts of today's supply crisis.

One of the highest consumers of electric power are data centers. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the data center industry, accounts for approximately 4% of global electricity consumption and 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To top it off, the carbon dioxide emissions of data centers are comparable to that of the aviation industry.The data center industry is responsible for more greenhouse gases than commercial flights  

This week on Babel, Jon speaks with Ali al-Saffar, the Middle East and North Africa program manager at the International Energy Agency (IEA). They talk about the state of electric grids in the Middle East; renewable electricity and the energy transition; and why some Middle Eastern countries have too little electricity, why some have too much, and why that matters. Then, Jon continues the conversation with Will Todman and Lubna Yousef about subsidies and reform in the region.

We start off this edition of the World Business Report podcast with a look at the European Central Bank's third interest rate hike of the year. At 1.5% interest rates are at their highest level since the global financial downturn of 2009. Maria Demertzis, Deputy Director of the Bruegel, an economic think tank in Brussels, joined us to discuss the immediate and long term effects of this strategy. Next, we hear from Chin Le-Chewin, the boss of China's development bank about why they keep lending to countries with already crippling debt. In its annual report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the first truly global energy crisis may be on the horizon as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Our presenter Sam Fenwick speaks with the Chief Energy Economist at the IEA, one of the co-lead authors of the report. Emma Wall is the Head of Investment Analysis at the UK brokers Hargreaves Lansdown and joined us for the latest on the markets. And finally, we end the programme with some good news. India's men's and women's national cricket teams will be paid the same appearance fee to represent their country. The announcement came from the India's top Indian cricket official, Jay Shah: who said, 'Pay equity was my commitment to our women cricketers". Diana Edulji, Indian's first woman cricket captain spoke joined the programme to discuss the significance of this milestone. This edition of World Business Report was presented by Sam Fenwick.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman was found not guilty in the Trump-Russia collusion case after a DC jury ignored direct evidence. It's been a month since Justice Alito's draft on Roe v. Wade was leaked. While few questions have been answered, officials are now requesting personal cell phone information from clerks in an effort to narrow down the culprit. Days after DHS' failed Disinformation Governance Board dissolves, their leader Nina Jankowicz implied that the board could have stopped the Uvalde, Texas school shooting. Finally, chief economist to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol announced that the U.S. summer fuel shortage has the potential to be worse than the 1970s oil crisis with some gas stations prepping for $10 per gallon.Here's your Daily dose of Human Events with @JackPosobiec Save up to 65% on MyPillow products by going to MyPillow.com/POSO and use code POSO To get $500 of free silver on a qualifying purchase go to https://allegiancegold.com/POSO/ with code POSO  

The globalist International Energy Agency (IEA) is calling for energy lockdowns as the price of gas and oil skyrockets.  The multinational agency introduced a 10-Point Plan to cut oil use, including banning cars on Sunday and only allowing certain license registered vehicles on the road on certain days.  This could be the beginning outline for the seemingly inevitable "climate lockdowns."    Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has won the women's 500-yard NCAA title.  This has sparked controversy as observers have questioned the fairness of biological males competing against biological women.  Any opposition to transgender athletes has been instantly labeled as "transphobic," but discussions are needed to identify the potential long-term implications of competition between transgender women and biological women.   Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suspended activities of 11 political parties who have ties to Russia. The largest of them is the Opposition Platform for Life, which has 44 out of 450 seats in the country's parliament.  Zelenskyy's announcement follows the introduction of martial law which places a ban on parties associated with Russia.
