The poorer [victim] countries say:
'We' need time. Don't put us to account.
You rich polluter countries try to put the shame on us while it is you that caused the problem in the first place.
By exploiting us, our people, our resources and the planet.

India's development goals include meeting its climate commitments for 2030 and beyond. The coal-powered thermal power plant (TPP) sector, a bulwark of the country’s economy, is also the largest contributor to its emissions portfolio -- and hence, urgently requires a decarbonization roadmap. The sector must modernise to balance rising energy demand with climate goals, and address challenges around demand forecasting, fleet efficiency, alternate fuel co-firing, power purchase agreements, merit order dispatch and renewable integration through flexibilization.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is convening a day-long Round Table to initiate discussions on this critical issue, and present its own guidelines for decarbonizing the sector. A new policy report will be released on the occasion.
Expected to bring together experts, and stakeholders from the government, industry and civil society, the Round Table will aim to support the development of a strategic framework for decarbonizing coal-based power, while ensuring energy security.
Down to Earth is Science and Environment fortnightly published by the Society for Environmental Communication, New Delhi. We publish news and analysis on issues that deal with sustainable development, which we scan through the eyes of science and environment.

Yeah, #PGE, I use more energy than the average person because I actually charge my #PHEV. (unlike the average owner ).

You shouldn't shame people for reducing their carbon footprint.

Is #Oregon's next big #orLeg transportation package going to write ODOT another blank check while failing to make any serious effort toward #decarbonizing, maybe sprinkle some subsidies on #electricCars? I can't believe we're still operating under some assumption that there are adults in the room who understand how #transportation actually works, and people trying to get somewhere without a car will just have to wait for the entire world to be rebuilt in some other future investment package.

…@uwmadisonphysics…constructing and testing fusion energy device known as #WHAM (Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror)…transitioned to operations mode, a major milestone for the yearslong #research project that’s received support from #USDoE.

“The outlook for #decarbonizing our energy sector is just much higher with fusion than anything else,” so Cary Forest, @UWMadisonphysics prof… “#FirstPlasma is a crucial first step for us in that direction.”

#Decarbonizing the #IndustrialSector is a noble undertaking, but most are treating it as another opportunity to #grift. #DOE does itself and the taxpayers no favors by throwing largesse at every possible solution imaginable, hoping that one will work. How about some #Leadership instead?

👉Pour se souhaiter la bonne année, c'est toujours intéressant de se rappeler les bonnes pratiques... sans détourner les informations essentielles (=greenwashing 🌏).
On parle de tous les côtés de "décarboner" et le graphisme ci-dessous est assez clair à ce sujet. 🚗 Une voiture électronique, par exemple, reste un moyen de transport très impactant.

Qu'en pensent-ils nos élus ?

This is fantastic, and not before time (and yes, I also subscribe to view that the answer needs ebikes/bikes, high speed rail, transit and 15minute cities, but they will not be fully realised across Canada by 2035)

Negotiators at #COP28 decide whether the world commits to a "phase out" of #fossilfuels or a "phase down." Remember that your business can decide for itself immediately! Great @bcg report showing the benefits of #decarbonizing. #smallactionsbigdifference

"These findings pose a two-fold challenge for #decarbonizing the #steel & #cement industries..governments need to expand essential infrastructure rapidly; on the other hand, industries need to prepare for the risk of deployment failures, rather than solely waiting for large-scale #infrastructure to emerge. Our feasible supply scenarios provide compelling evidence of the urgency of demand-side actions & establish benchmarks for the required level of #resource efficiency"

Getting Rid of #Gas #Stoves Could Lead to Mass Renovictions
#Fossilfuel #emissions from buildings account for 10-15% of California’s #carbon emissions, and building industry as a whole accounts for a quarter of state’s emissions. #Decarbonizing #California's housing stock could have some serious unintended consequences for #renters. Another bill seeks to curb “renovictions” by increasing the relocation costs that #landlords are required to pay when #evicting #tenants. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxj7wq/getting-rid-of-gas-stoves-could-lead-to-mass-renovictions-advocates-say
