Podcasts about World Energy Outlook

oday, we return to energy and AI. What will AI mean in terms of global energy consumption up to 2030 and beyond? And could that be offset by efficiencies and transformations generated by AI in our daily lives? Could AI even accelerating the energy transition? To do that, we are discussing International Energy Agency's latest paper -  Energy and AI (https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-and-ai). A comprehensive review and deep dive in AI's impacts on our world energy map. Our guests are the lead authors, Siddharth Singh and Thomas Spencer. Both are also part of the team that produce the World Energy Outlook annually.For more on our senior advisory network, Enco Insights visit - www.encoinsights.com For more on www.Hyperionsearch.com - our clean energy search firmFor commodities search visit www.hcgroup.global    

Enligt tradition avslutar vi året med en tillbakablick på de händelser och trender som präglat energi- och klimatåret 2024. Som följeslagare har vi med oss poddbekantingen och tillika vindkraftsmannen Daniel Kulin (som även gästade avsnitt 3, avsnitt 48 och avsnitt 84 av podden). Vi tar avstamp på hemmaplan där Daniel går igenom det turbulenta vindkraftsåret 2024, som bland annat präglats av tillståndstorka, regeringsbeslut såsom nekade tillstånd för havsbaserad vindkraft, och ett stort nationellt överskott av el. Daniel ger även sitt perspektiv på den nyligen presenterade utredningen Vindkraft i havet - En övergång till ett auktionssystem. Daniel ingjuter framtidstro i den svenska energiomställningen trots nyheter om Northvolts rekonstruktion och flertalet inställda eller uppskjutna industriinvesteringar. Vi pratar även om kärnkraftsutredningen, batteriutveckling i Sverige och i Kina, IEA:s senaste World Energy Outlook — och den globala kapplöpningen kring ny teknik. Vill du föreslå en gäst till ett framtida avsnitt? Har du ett förslag på hur vi kan göra podden bättre? Fyll jättegärna i vårt feedback-formulär.

The headline from this year's World Energy Outlook released by the International Energy Agency says, “The world is on the brink of a new age of electricity.” In the United States, electrification is set to transform the energy landscape, and the nation is expected to see a rapid rise in power demand.  Questions remain over how this demand will be met, and if this means increasing carbon emissions from the power sector. These questions are further complicated by the rise of artificial intelligence and an antiquated and fragmented electric grid. So how do efforts to decarbonize the century-old power system impact both reliability and the cost of electricity? And what does this new era of rising electricity demand mean for domestic manufacturing, AI data centers, and other industries?   This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Cheryl LaFleur and David Hill about the incoming Trump administration, its impact on FERC, and the status of permitting reform measures.   Cheryl is an advisory board member at the Center on Global Energy Policy. Previously, she was one of the longest-serving commissioners on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from 2010 to 2019, and served twice as FERC's chair. Since 2019, Cheryl has served on the board of directors of the Independent System Operator of New England (ISO-NE). David is a non-resident fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy. He served as general counsel of the U.S. Department of Energy during the George W. Bush administration. From 2012 to 2018, he served as executive vice president and general counsel of NRG Energy, Inc.

Rising electricity demand. Heightened geopolitical tension. Fragility in energy markets. These are some of the big stories shaping the energy transition outlined in the International Energy Agency's newest World Energy Outlook.  Even as the IEA says the world is shifting from the "Age of Oil" to the "Age of Electricity," we are still far from achieving net-zero targets. And the tensions highlighted in the latest Energy Outlook illustrate how difficult the transition will be.    This week, host Jason Bordoff talks with Tim Gould about the 2024 World Energy Outlook, published in October. They discuss the significant progress countries have made on the energy transition, and the structural shifts in economies and energy use that lie ahead.  Tim is the International Energy Agency's chief energy economist. As part of his role, he co-leads the World Energy Outlook. Tim joined the IEA in 2008 as a specialist on Russian and Caspian energy. Prior to joining the IEA, he worked on European and Eurasian energy issues in Brussels.

This week on the podcast, Peter and Jackie discuss what they are watching for from the upcoming 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, better known as COP29. The conference will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11th to 22nd, 2024. Next, they delve into the IEA's recently released World Energy Outlook 2024. This annual report is widely read and used for discussions on the future of energy. They review some key points that caught their attention, including an outlook for abundant energy supply in the latter part of the 2020s, peak fossil fuels by 2030, electricity's growing role, and the adoption of EVs.They also consider a few new EV labels: extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs).They also introduce Peter's recent article on the proposed cap on Canada's oil and gas emissions.Content referenced in this podcast:UN Emissions Gap Report 2024: No more hot air…please!

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 […]

Bis 2030 wird mehr als die Hälfte des weltweiten Stroms aus emissionsarmen Quellen erzeugt (Autorin: Janina Schreiber)

Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—have been a dependable and efficient energy source for over a century. However, their combustion releases greenhouse gases, making fossil fuel emissions the primary driver of climate change. Reducing fossil fuel consumption is imperative to mitigate global warming.In this episode, hosts James and Daisy delve into the contentious debate surrounding fossil fuels. Are fossil fuels essential for meeting current and future global energy needs? How might we transition away from our reliance on fossil fuels? Should fossil fuel companies play a role in our green future?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Carbon Tracker: Follow this independent financial think tank for comprehensive analysis on the energy transition.  Make My Money Matter: Learn how to align your UK pension with sustainability goals.   OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES: IPCC (2022): “Fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes represent the single largest source of CO2 (85%) and overall greenhouse gas emissions (64%) worldwide.” The Guardian (2024): ‘Smoking gun proof': fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show The International Energy Agency (IEA) – an intergovernmental organisation specialising in sustainable energy.

För tredje året i rad avslutar vi med en tillbakablick med fokus på de händelser som präglat energi- och klimatåret 2023. Som ciceron denna gång har vi med oss Chalmersprofessorn Björn Sandén (som även gästade avsnitt 1, avsnitt 28 och avsnitt 67 av podden). Vi tar avstamp i en följetong som Björn följt från första parkett i sin roll som vice-ordförande i det klimatpolitiska rådet: svensk klimatpolitik. Vi pratar om statusen för svenska klimatmål, om tidöpartiernas avsiktsförklaring kring klimatpolitiken och om nationalekonomen John Hasslers idéer för hur svensk klimatpolitik kan anpassas till EU:s klimatpaket Fit for 55. Vi får även höra om Björns egna forskning kring teknikspecifika visavi teknikneutrala styrmedel och om hur perspektiven kan appliceras på regeringens satsningar på ny kärnkraft.  Från minut 51 zoomar vi ut och pratar om den globala solcellsutbyggnaden. Vi resonerar kring huruvida det ens finns historiska exempel på tekniker som vuxit i liknande omfattning och Björn resonerar kring solenergins roll, både i Sverige och globalt, under kommande decennier.  Vad mer? Vi pratar batteriutbyggnad och tillståndsprocesser, IEA:s senaste World Energy Outlook och klimatmötet i Dubai. Och avslutningsvis bjuder Björn på ett boktips i sann julanda.

Episode 57: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about senescent cells and fisetin.  When normal cells get too damaged (as in accumulating too much DNA damage), they could turn into cancer cells. To prevent this, these damaged cells change to where they cannot divide anymore, so in that way, they cannot become cancer cells. Rather, they became senescent cells.  A bad thing is that. these cells secrete substances that damage the healthy surrounding cells, contributing to aging.  Fisetin has been shown to be good at clearing out this senescent cells.  Now turning to the environment. The 2023 UN Climate Conference, COP28, concluded on December 13th. While some think it was an improvement over other conferences, others thought it did not go far enough and left loop holes. The deal calls for transitioning away from (not phasing out) fossil fuels  in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner ... so as to achieve net zero by 2050. There was an agreement to triple renewables and double energy efficiency by 2030. There is hope, but definitely more to be done.   References Carbon Brief. https://www.carbonbrief.org/cop28-key-outcomes-agreed-at-the-un-climate-talks-in-dubai/ Children of the Earth. https://www.childrenoftheearth.org/seigelman.htm IEA (2023), World Energy Outlook 2023, IEA, Paris https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-outlook-2023, License: CC BY 4.0 (report); CC BY NC SA 4.0 (Annex A) Life Extension.

-House Republicans approved legislation to slash the EPA budget by 40 percent -Crete has unusual November heatwave and extreme weather -Three Basins Summit to discusses collaboration ending deforestation -plastic waste leads to a bears demise -Cattle play a colossal role in climate change -World Energy Outlook 2023” declares that the fossil fuel era is now in decline

The International Energy Agency last week published its World Energy Outlook, which is its big annual review of everything that is going on in the world of energy.One of the headlines that has been attracting a lot of attention is the forecast that, on current trends, demand for all three fossil fuels – that is, oil, gas and goal – will peak before 2030. The IEA's report states that the pathway to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C, the objective the world set in the Paris Agreement, is still open. Although if we carry on as we are, by 2030 it won't be.Joining Ed Crooks to discuss the IEA's views and progress in the transition away from fossil fuels are Dr Melissa Lott and Amy Myers-Jaffe. Regular Energy Gang guests, Melissa is Director of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. Amy heads up NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab. They debate whether this decade might witness the arrival of peak fossil fuel demand. What are the forecasts saying, and are they believable? The gang weigh up the recent tide of bad news about electric vehicles. Should we be preparing for an abrupt turn away from EVs? What could it mean for oil demand if it happened? And how should we interpret the two recent mega-deals in the US oil industry?Plus: offshore wind is in trouble. Rising interest rates and supply chain issues are driving up costs, and big projects in the US are being cancelled. Can the industry find a way out of its predicament?And finally, China's share of global production of spherical graphite, used in battery anodes, is over 99%, putting it in a strong position in global supply chains. Now China has announced new export restrictions on several forms of graphite, raising questions about whether a new vulnerability has been exposed for US and European battery and EV manufacturers.It's a packed show, and as always we are keen to hear your thoughts and comments.

“Coal demand reached a new all-time high in 2022.” That was the headline of the International Energy Agency's annual coal market update, released in July of this year. In fact, 2022 was the third year in a row that global coal consumption has increased.  This growth occurs against the backdrop of an ever-worsening climate crisis driven by energy sector emissions, of which coal accounts for 40%, and it's why the IEA's own executive director Fatih Birol called for an end to new coal power plant construction in a recent op-ed. But despite coal's impact on the climate, it remains a vital source of energy for much of the world, particularly in Asia.  What is the outlook for coal in the years to come? What will it take to move away from the fuel? And what would phasing it out mean for emerging and developing economies? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Carlos Fernández Alvarez about the findings of this year's Coal Market Update. Carlos is a senior coal analyst at the International Energy Agency, and recently served as the acting head of the Gas, Coal, and Power Markets division. He was the lead author on this year's Coal Market Update and has contributed to many other IEA reports, including the organization's flagship publication, the World Energy Outlook. Carlos has 25 years of experience in the energy sector, serving as an energy consultant, an energy advisor for the Spanish Government, and later as the director of the Spanish Coal Agency.

This week, the International Energy Agency published its flagship report: The World Energy Outlook. It's hundreds of pages long and makes some bold claims. It says in the year 2030, there will be 10 times as many electric cars on the road as today, 80% of all new power generation will be solar or wind, and demand for fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – will have peaked. The report is dominating climate news because what the IEA says makes a big difference to how governments tweak their energy policies. But how did an organization formed by a handful of countries in response to the 1973 oil crisis come to hold so much influence over our response to the climate crisis? For the answer, this week we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes: an interview with Fatih Birol, the head of the IEA. As we approach COP28, hosted by an oil power and led by the CEO of an oil company, it's good to understand how international organizations can be successfully transformed in the face of climate change.

Liesbeth pluist het langverwachte verkiezingsprogramma van Pieter Omtzigts Nieuw Sociaal Contract door, Kees onderzoekt wat er aan de hand is bij Viaplay: het bedrijf heeft de publicatie van de kwartaalcijfers op het allerlaatste moment uitgesteld.  Ander nieuws uit The Daily Move: De prijs van Bitcoin is omhoog geschoten naar boven de 34 duizend dollar. Dat heeft te maken met de goedkeuring van een ETF door de Amerikaanse toezichthouder. Dat is goed nieuws volgens Daniël Mol van BNR's Cryptocast:  De wereldwijde vraag naar fossiele brandstoffen zal naar verwachting in 2030 een piek bereiken. Dat meldt het Internationaal Energie Agentschap in de jaarlijkse World Energy Outlook. Het IEA denkt dat het groeiende aantal elektrische auto's, de langzame groei van de Chinese economie en het overschakelen van China op schonere energie ervoor zorgt dat het hoogtepunt in 2030 is bereikt.  De Republikeinse partij stemt achter gesloten deuren over haar nieuwe parlementsvoorzitter moet gaan worden.

Die Nachfrage nach Kohle, aber auch nach Öl und Gas erreicht ihren Höhepunkt noch vor dem Jahr 2030. Das ist früher als erwartet. Zu diesem Schluss kommt die Internationale Energieagentur IEA in ihrem neuen Ausblick, dem World Energy Outlook 2023. Weitere Themen in dieser Sendung: * Die Wahlsiegerin, die SVP, will die Gesundheitspolitik auf einen bürgerlichen Kurs trimmen. Machen die anderen Parteien mit und was sagt die SP dazu? * Die Ständeratswahlen in Bern sind entschieden, weil von den Kandidierenden nur noch die ersten Beiden des ersten Wahlgangs übrig bleiben. Flavia Wasserfallen von der SP und Werner Salzmann von der SVP sind damit «still gewählt». * Die radikal-islamische Hamas hat zwei weitere Geiseln freigelassen. Sie sind gemäss Angaben Israels zuerst nach Ägypten gebracht und dann der israelischen Armee übergeben worden.

In this episode of Energy Transition Talk, we explore the broader topic of energy supply and demand.  Justine and Paulina start by speaking with Dr. Don Paul, an engineering professor at USC and Executive Director of the USC Energy Institute. They talk about energy demand and supply trends globally and in California, what it takes to fully electrify our power grid, the impact of renewable energy on energy prices, the implications of the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic for the global energy ecosystem and energy security, the role of intelligent energy, and the behavioral changes that we as a society will be challenged to make in a changing energy landscape.  Jim then speaks with Dr. Junyi Lv, a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Center for the Study of Contemporary China at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Lv describes her comparative study of two communities in eastern Kentucky and northern China whose economies have focused on coal. She explains the challenges that both communities are facing but also the ways they are building resilience as they transition away from their coal-dominated past, and concludes by commenting on the opportunities for cross-collaboration among local communities.  2:12 Interview with Dr. Paul 37:29 Interview with Dr. Lv  1:00:04 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.

This week on O+O, our hosts, Christiana, Tom and Paul delve into the latest International Energy Agency report which sounds the death knell on the fossil fuel era and welcome award-winning investigative journalist Amy Westervelt onto the show. With the IEA's publication of their World Energy Outlook report, Christiana, Tom and Paul assess what this means for the fossil fuel industry, national governments and the companies continuing to push the exponential growth of the renewable energy markets. The IEA report still offers us an opportunity, a very, very slim opportunity to act unitedly and decisively to keep within our global targets - can we heed this advice before the door finally closes on this opportunity? We're extremely excited to welcome Amy Westervelt as our guest this week. Amy is an award-winning investigative print and audio journalist, loved by our team for her true crime climate podcast Drilled. Join us as she shares her journey to launching Drilled and Critical Frequency, her podcast production company, and why she's dedicating her time to unearth the nefarious actions of a few PR firms that enable incumbents to keep a stake in the climate crisis narrative. Music this week comes from Nick Nuttall and his debut album, Just Because Some Bad Wind Blows, which draws on rich life experiences between his eccentric upbringing in the North of England, to his nearly two decades of work at the UN fighting the climate and environmental crises across the globe.   NOTES AND RESOURCES   GUEST Amy Westervelt, Investigative climate journalist and Head of Drilled Media Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram   THINK TANKS Story: Meet the Shadowy Global Network Vilifying Climate Protesters MUSIC Nick Nuttall Website | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter  Album ‘Just Because Some Bad Wind blows' can be purchased here, or here Watch the music video for ‘Just Because Some Bad Wind Blows'   Learn more about the Paris Agreement.   It's official, we're a TED Audio Collective Podcast - Proof!

This week's guest is Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency and one of the world's foremost energy economists. Fatih has been in-post since 2015, and is a returning guest to Cleaning Up, having appeared on Episode 28, all the way back in January 2021. Under Fatih's leadership, the IEA has expanded its mandate to become a leading voice on clean energy technologies, energy efficiency and net-zero pathways.Few people have as clear a view on the entire energy sector as Fatih, so Michael headed to Paris and IEA HQ to hear insights on surging EV sales, the urgent need for grid modernization and expansion, and a reality-check on hydrogen's role on the path to net-zero. Make sure you like, subscribe, and share Cleaning Up.

He has been named in TIME's annual list of the world's 100 most influential people and by Forbes as one of the most influential people in the world of energy. He chairs the World Economic Forum's (Davos) Energy Advisory Board. As Chief Economist at the IEA, he oversaw the World Energy Outlook series, the authoritative source for energy analysis and projections and flagship publication of the IEA. Fatih holds a BSc in Power Engineering from the Technical University of Istanbul, and an MSc and Ph.D. in Energy Economics from the Technical University of Vienna. Fatih is the recipient of numerous state decorations, including the French Legion of Honour and the Japanese Emperor's Order of the Rising Sun. 

2022 was a landmark year for the energy transition. The world added a record amount of renewable energy, expanding the global installed capacity by nearly 10%. Electric vehicles also had a record year, reaching 10 million sales worldwide, a stunning 55% increase over the previous year. Yet despite this tremendous progress, the world is still not on track to meet its climate goals, with oil and gas demand predicted to be higher in 2030 than today. Meanwhile, volatility in global energy markets is continuing to drive uncertainty over the future of the energy transition. Imbalances between supply and demand drove energy prices to dizzying heights last year, and 75 million people around the world lost access to electricity as a result. What will it take to bring clean energy deployment in line with climate goals? What does the energy transition mean for the future of fossil fuels? And how can world leaders protect energy reliability in the transition to net zero? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Fatih Birol.  Fatih is the executive director of the International Energy Agency, the intergovernmental organization tasked with providing data and policy analysis regarding the global energy sector. He spent more than 20 years at the IEA prior to becoming executive director. Most recently, he served as chief economist, in charge of the organization's flagship publication, the World Energy Outlook. Before joining the IEA, Fatih worked for OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. This episode of the Columbia Energy Exchange is a recording of a live, in-person conversation that took place on April 12th during the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2023. 

Luisteraars! Ik (Jesse) dacht altijd: de energietransitie duurt een eeuwigheid en kost een fortuin. Een eeuwigheid, want een overgang naar andere energiebronnen is nooit eerder snel gegaan. Van kolen naar olie, van olie naar gas, van gas naar hernieuwbaar – er gingen decennia, zo niet eeuwen overheen. En het kost een fortuin, omdat hernieuwbare energie nu eenmaal duurder is dan gestolde energie (kolen, gas, olie) uit de grond peuren. Maar: ik ben bekeerd! Wie nu ziet hoe snel zonne-energie zich ontwikkelt, kan niet anders dan optimistisch zijn. Inmiddels is het omslagpunt zelfs bereikt: zonne-energie is goedkoper dan fossiele energie. In 2000 kostte zonne-energie zo'n 610 dollar per megawattuur over de levensduur van een paneel. Een prijs die ongeveer tien keer hoger lag dan die van een moderne gascentrale (in normale tijden: rond de 60 dollar per megawattuur over de levensduur van de centrale). Maar in 2021 was de mediane prijs van zonne-energie wereldwijd al gedaald tot zo'n 48 dollar per megawattuur (en nog lager in zonnige oorden). Een verrassend onstuimige opmars Eigenlijk alle experts zijn verrast door deze onstuimige opmars. In de rapporten van het IPCC, het orgaan dat de stand der klimaatwetenschap samenvat, werd en wordt steevast gerekend met pessimistische technologiekosten. Zelfs het meest gunstige IPCC-scenario uit 2014 ging er bijvoorbeeld van uit dat een geïnstalleerd zonnepaneel in 2050 zo'n 885 dollar per kilowatt ging kosten. In 2021 – dertig jaar voor de deadline – waren de installatiekosten al gedaald naar 820 dollar per kilowatt. Terwijl zelfs de meest optimistische klimaatscenario's het tempo van kostenmindering onderschatten, krijgen de meest pessimistische klimaatscenario's van het IPCC (RCP 8.5) steevast de meeste aandacht. Wie de wetenschappelijke publicaties achter vrijwel elke schokkende krantenkop leest, zal dit extreme klimaatscenario terugvinden. Maar dit scenario is volstrekt onrealistisch. Het zou een inktzwarte energiepolitiek vergen: alle windmolens en zonnepanelen zouden moeten worden afgebroken, de prijzen van zon en wind zouden – om onverklaarbare redenen – weer moeten stijgen, en het kolenverbruik zou voor het einde van de eeuw verveelvoudigen. Zelfs onze auto's zouden op kolen moeten gaan rijden (door synthetische brandstof te maken van kolen). Toch wordt dit scenario steevast in de media (en helaas ook in veel wetenschap over de impact van klimaatverandering) beschreven als business as usual, als het scenario dat uitkomt als we niks doen. Maar business as usual is juist dat de kosten van zon, wind en batterijen kelderen. Business as usual is dat hernieuwbare energie nu al goedkoper is dan fossiele energie. Kortom, goed nieuws! De meest pessimistische scenario's over een onleefbare planeet zijn in toenemende mate onwaarschijnlijk, terwijl zelfs de meest optimistische scenario's vaak nog niet optimistisch genoeg zijn over de snelheid van technologische ontwikkelingen.

För andra året i rad avslutar vi med en tillbakablick med fokus på de händelser som präglat energi- och klimatåret 2022. Och som ciceron denna gång har vi poddbekantingen Daniel Kulin som även gästade avsnitt 3 och avsnitt 48.  Vi tar avstamp på Daniels hemmaplan: vindkraftsbranschen. (I år tog han klivet från branschorganisationen Svensk Vindenergi till det norska energiföretaget Cloudberry där han jobbar med havsbaserad vindkraft.) Vi får en sammanfattning av var vindkraften är: hur mycket byggs? Vilka utmaningar präglar vindkraftsprojekten — och hur bedömer man att den nya regeringens slopande av utbyggnationen av stamnätet till havs påverkar förutsättningarna framöver? Från minut 37 pratar vi om läget på elmarknaden som redan i januari såg ansträngt ut, bl.a. till följd av höga priser på bränslen. Sen kom Rysslands invasion av Ukraina och en energisituation som sett allt mer prekär ut för varje månad som gått. Vi pratar om hur prognoserna för elpriserna ser ut och Daniel resonerar kring vad denna “perfekta storm” innebär för samhället i stort.  Läget på energimarknaderna har inte bara lett till skyhöga kostnader för privatpersoner och företag; det ledde även till en valrörelse som i allra högsta grad präglades av energifrågor. Från 1 h 7 min pratar vi om resultatet av valet: ett regeringsskifte och ett Tidö-avtal med tungt fokus på kärnkraft. Daniel delar både sina farhågor och förhoppningar kring vad den politiska inriktningen kan innebära för investeringsklimatet inom energibranschen och för möjligheterna att nå våra energi- och klimatmål överlag. Avslutningsvis (från 1 h 28 min) zoomar vi ut och pratar om vad 2022 innebar för klimatomställningen på ett globalt plan. Vi utgår från IEA:s World Energy Outlook 2022 och hittar både nedslående och hoppfulla signaler kring världens omställning till fossilfria energikällor. Bland de hoppfulla signalerna återfinns bland annat stora statliga satsningar på en ökad energisäkerhet och industriell uppbyggnad kring tekniker som ska möjliggöra omställningen — inte minst USA:s Inflation Reduction Act där motsvarande tre svenska statsbudgetar ska investeras i fossilfria energikällor.

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.

Global solar capacity continues to rise and solar PV is becoming ever more popular among homeowners as costs fall. As its role in the energy transition becomes more prominent, new technologies and business models developing. Our guest this week is Alexandra Sombsthay, vice president for external relations at renewable energy developer Akuo Energy. In this episode, we discuss new, innovative possibilities and solutions for solar energy, including agrivoltaics and progress in storage technologies. Prior to joining Akuo, Alexandra previously worked at the European Commission in the directorate-general for energy. Alexandra was posted between 2006-07 at the EU delegation in Beijing, where she initiated the Euro-China Clean Energy Centre. She has previously worked as an adviser on European affairs for the Belgian Minister for Environment and Energy. Enjoy the show!

Published each year, the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World Energy Outlook (WEO) is a leading source of scenario-based analysis of global energy demand and supply. This year's WEO explores the impact of both short-term volatility in energy markets and the long-term trend of decarbonization.What do the analysis and insights tell us about potential pathways for the world's energy future and the implications for Canada's natural resources? How is government action and technological development changing the shape of these pathways and what are the major sources of uncertainty? And what can Canada do to prepare for these potential futures?On Season 4 Episode 4 of Energy vs Climate David, Sara, Ed, and the International Energy Agency's Chief Energy Economist, Tim Gould discuss the 2022 World Energy Outlook and its implications for Canada.EPISODE NOTES: @2:25 – International Energy Agency's: The World Energy Outlook Report@6:40 – Shell's Energy Modeling@8:00- Key findings of the World Energy Outlook@8:29 – Extreme Heat & Global Food Insecurity@9:46- Europe's Fit for 55 Package @13:18 Improving the way we think about projecting future energy use and emissions of carbon dioxide@24:15 Global Energy crisis can lead to a cleaner and more secure future@29:05 New energy-security paradigm @32:14 Designing the mid-transition: A review of medium term challenges for coordinated decarbonization on in the U.S@34:20 Doyne Farmer's Empirically Grounded Technology Forecasts and the Energy Transition@35:40 Canada's LNG exports to Asian market and what it means for emissions@46:50 Russia's role as global energy supplier will continue to shrink@54:54 China's pledge to promote low Carbon energy developmentenergyvsclimate.com@EnergyvsClimate

This week on the podcast, Peter and Jackie talk about the news from the Federal Government's Fall Economic Statement 2022.  The Government announced new incentives that will come into force in 2023, including credits for green electricity, clean hydrogen, energy storage and heat pumps, and a new fund to support private investment in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). They also introduced plans to develop incentives for manufacturing competitiveness.  These incentives increase the opportunity for clean energy investing in Canada.   They also weighed in on President Biden's recent threats of a windfall tax on oil and gas producers in the United States if they do not start using their profits for growing oil and gas production.  Next, they talk about the IEA's latest World Energy Outlook.  The agency has revised down its outlooks for natural gas demand due to the events of the past year.    Finally, COP 27 has kicked off in Egypt this week. Do these meetings actually make a difference in reducing emissions? What will be the topics of discussion this year?  Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/   

Today's missive comes to you from the Galapagos Islands out in the eastern Pacific, where two stories of noble energy initiatives reflect the broader realities of energy policy around the world. We tell these stories with a specific question in mind: how much gas, so to speak, is left in the tank of this energy bull market?The Galapagos population is only around 30,000, but, as a fully functioning society, the same dynamics observed in this small ecosystem occur elsewhere, even if less visibly, so it serves as a useful case study.So we come to the first of our two stories.Not so green transport in GalapagosIn order to limit traffic, protect the environment in this most ecologically delicate of places and protect the taxi industry, the local government made it extremely difficult to get a vehicle licence. All sorts of problematic bureaucratic hurdles had to be jumped, and most people ended up using bikes or public transport.But then in 2016 the powers that be, with a brighter, greener future in mind, decided that anyone could get a licence to own a vehicle, no permit required - as long as it was an electric vehicle. There was just one condition. The buyer had to have a family. Given that most people on the islands have relations, that was a pretty easy condition to meet, even for the single folk. There was a great deal of PR and fanfare about this new initiative: clean, green, sustainable - all that stuff - and a blind eye was turned to the increase in traffic, or of roadkill to the many tame birds on the streets of the island (this is a major problem).At this point it's worth reminding ourselves that there are, around the world, three main areas of energy consumption - transportation, heating and electricity. While cleaner forms of energy, such as nuclear or wind, might be increasing as sources of electricity, 84% of global energy still derives from the burning of fossil fuels, as the graphic below from Our World In data shows.Even electricity, despite its green credentials, still relies on fossil fuels. The burning of the fossil fuel may be out of sight and, therefore, out of mind, but over 60% of global electricity still derives from it, as our second graphic shows. Wind and solar between them account for barely 10%.Sign up to The Flying Frisby.As we are all now discovering to our cost, despite many years of considerable investment, some might say over-investment, in green energy, there have, simultaneously, been many years of underinvestment in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, nuclear power (the use of which in electricity has, on a relative basis, been declining since the 1990s) and public grids. Hence the current energy shortages especially in Europe. The Galapagos Islands followed the international trends in this regard - which is one reason this story makes for such an interesting case study.Here on the Galapagos Islands, the majority of electricity, despite what you may read, is produced by burning diesel. And at this point we deviate to story number two.The Galapagos wind turbines.There were, once upon a time, some wind turbines built by a consortium of overseas energy corporations, looking to advertise their green credentials to the world. Said corporations conducted a one-year study of wind on the island and concluded that next to the airport (where they would also conveniently be seen by everyone arriving at and leaving the islands) was the best place to erect the turbines. The turbines were duly installed, the publicity was had - here is the world's first airport that runs 100% on wind and solar, all that stuff - and the energy companies retired back to their nation states.It turned out that year of the study had been an outlier for winds, and they hadn't built the turbines in anything like the windiest spot. Then the wind turbines stopped working, but nobody on the islands knew how to fix them. Nor was it clear whose responsibility they were. Ever since, the turbines have sat there, stuck - even when the wind is blowing up a storm. Ask a local for the story, and you'll get a wry shake of the head and a smile at the stupidity of it all. Lord knows how much fossil fuel was burnt mining the necessary materials, manufacturing the turbines, transporting them to the islands and erecting them, only for them not to work, but that is, despite the good intention, what has happened. There they remain, motionless, like statues from a fallen empire. But how now to get rid of them?The episode is neither clean, green nor sustainable.Tell the world about this amazing articleSo back to story number one and the attempt to make the islands greener with electric vehicles (EVs). With the easing of regulation in 2016, the locals who had previously wanted a vehicle but couldn't get one (a lot) piled in and bought electric vehicles, much to the benefit of the EV manufacturers.But as diesel is the major source of electricity on the islands, so more diesel than ever was now burnt. Again, neither clean nor green. In fact so much diesel got burnt, and so much electricity was consumed, that the shortcomings of the grid and the lack of investment therein were exposed. Power outages soon followed. Multiple and regular. The power outages got so bad that just three years after the EV fanfare, in 2019 a moratorium on electric vehicles was discreetly declared - no fanfare this time - and the islands went back to their old ways.I can't help thinking that the West is travelling a similar path. As consumers,, encouraged by the green credentials, adopt more electric vehicles, has there been a concomitant investment in power grids to meet the new demand? In many - dare I say most? - countries there hasn't. What proportion of this rising new electricity demand will entail more burning of fossil fuel, coal especially? Will there be power outages as a result?It's stupid to expect us to consume less energy. As civilisations progress, they consume more energy. They also get better at consuming energy. A civilisation that consumes less energy is a civilisation in recession and decline. We should not be advocating the consumption of less energy, but advocating the better and more efficient consumption of energy, and that means we have to invest in the exploration and production of fossil fuels. How else is the developing world to pull out of poverty without the benefits of fossil fuels? The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast in 2020 in its World Energy Outlook that growth in global oil demand will only end in 10 years and that “global natural gas demand growth might stop around 2040”. Those two landmark years - 2030 and 2040 - are not when we stop using oil and gas, just when the demand for them stops increasing. (And they are probably optimistic forecasts).That means that, to meet demand, not only do we have to maintain oil and gas production at current levels, we have to increase them - or prices will go a lot higher. That means greater investment in coal, oil and gas is required. And that means this bull market is far from over.The whole narrative needs to change, as it is slowly starting to do.There have been at least ten years of underinvestment in coal, oil and gas - partly because of the excesses of the last secular bull market and partly because of the powerful anti-fossil fuel story. That now needs to be corrected.There is also now a strong case for a reversion to traditional auto manufacturers, as opposed to the likes of Tesla.

The International Energy Agency says we’re experiencing the first global energy crisis. But the United Nations says we’re also falling way short of meeting our climate goals and need to do more to reduce our demand for fossil fuels. We’ll talk about a pair of reports and what they mean for the clean energy economy. Plus, will Twitter become a free-for-all hellscape? And guest host Andy Uhler and Kai make a bet. Here’s everything we talked about today: World Energy Outlook 2022 – Analysis from the International Energy Agency UN emissions report: “World falls ‘pitifully short' of meeting climate goals” from The Washington Post “Treasury Says Orders for I Bonds With 9.62% Rate Might Not Be Completed by Deadline” from The Wall Street Journal “Elon Musk Says Twitter Won't Be ‘Free-for-All Hellscape,' Addressing Advertisers' Concerns” from The Wall Street Journal Tweet from @lizrhoffman on Elon Musk’s Twitter deal “LAFC vs. Austin FC: How to watch & stream, preview of Western Conference Final” from Major League Soccer “More than a debut: Angel City FC's home opener felt like the start of a new NWSL era” from The Athletic Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap. The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific/6:30 Eastern. We'll have news, drinks, a game and more.

In the past year the number of companies committing to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 has exploded. With the fifty largest companies by value accounting for 28% of global GDP, corporate action is critically important if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. But what does a net zero commitment for a company mean in practice? What distinguishes the good from greenwashing, and can we even tell from the outside? What are the risks and opportunities for a company making a net zero commitment in the first place?Join David, Sara, Ed, and special guest Dr. Gabrielle Walker, Founder and Director of Valence Solutions, as they journey to net zero on Episode 28 of Energy vs Climate.EPISODE NOTES:@1:10 Dr. Gabrielle Walker, @GabrielleWalk3r@4:20 Offshore wind farms could double as electric charging…@6:20 BMW Group significantly increases use of low-carbon steel@6:39 Fact Sheet: Biden-Harris Administration Advances Cleaner Industrial Sector@7:00 Biden launches ‘Buy Clean' task force to boost greener manufacturing@7:11 EU set to race ahead of UK in green steel production@8:03 Volvo's Dump Truck Takes Shape From World's First Green Steel - Bloomberg, Mercedez-Benz to use low-carbon steel@16:11 Microsoft announces it will be carbon negative by 2030 - Stories@16:27 Race To Zero Campaign | UNFCCC@28:00 Energy Transitions Commission | Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050@31:02 Carbon Emissions Factor Into Major Oil Sands Shakeup | Climate Central@33:00 IEA says ending new oil and gas exploration today is the only viable climate path@37:16 Fuels: old and new – World Energy Outlook 2021 – Analysis - IEA@38:01 BP's Strategic Shift To Renewables@41:44 Europe Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism@44:20 Gabrielle Walker | Speaker | TED@45:27 The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

For full show notes, see www.buildbigideas.com/post/cost-of-energy-solar-is-king-podcast-ep-007 The cost of generating solar electricity has dropped by an order of magnitude over the last decade. Solar is now least expensive option for generating electricity, beating out natural gas, coal, wind, and nuclear on an unsubsidized basis. This is a world-changing fact that is very optimistic for the future development of human civilization around the world. The biggest remaining challenge is that energy storage still costs almost an order of magnitude more than solar electricity generation. "Solar becomes the new king of electricity," according to the "World Energy Outlook 2020" report published by the International Energy Agency. The report goes on to say, "With sharp cost reductions over the past decade, solar photovoltaic (PV) is consistently cheaper than new coal or gasfired power plants in most countries, and solar projects now offer some of the lowest cost electricity ever seen." The average cost of utility-scale Solar PV has dropped from 359 $/MWh in 2009 to 37 $/MWh in 2020, according to the report "Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis - Version 14.0." This is an order-of-magnitude drop in cost in just one decade. Interestingly, solar energy requires energy storage and the cost of storage remains very high. The cost of wholesale energy storage averages approximately 200 $/MWh, according to "Lazard's Levelized Cost of Storage Analysis - Version 6.0." This is almost an order-of-magnitude more expensive than the cost of solar PV generation.
