Offshore wind power is one of the fast-growing #renewable energy sources in Europe. New European Environmental is targeting an installed capacity of 100 GW by 2030, up from 25 GW today. The increased power output demand is evolving into bigger and more powerful #windturbines. https://t.co/hr92PFZIGP

There are two main types of #carbon pricing: emissions trading systems (ETS) and carbon tax: 1. ETS caps emissions and allows industries to buy and sell their CO2 allowance. 2. A carbon tax puts a tax rate on emissions or – more commonly – on the carbon content of fossil fuels. https://t.co/nDS6vsHEdE

This decade is our make-or-break chance to halve #carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve deep #decarbonization by 2050. Leaders and industries must accelerate systemwide transformations across nearly all major sectors to avoid a warming of 3.3-5.7°C above preindustrial levels. https://t.co/fc1cImyLUu

Thanks to investments in renewables, #solarpower efficiency increased by 30% in 2019. This led to a cost decrease as solar farms were able to produce the same amount of power while taking up less space. The next generation of PV panels is likely to be even more efficient ☀️ https://t.co/HJ8zJv1QrO

A circular carbon economy will connect the dots between industries and climate change. Check out the CCE Guide to explore how industries can tackle hard-to-abate emissions from carbon-intensive sectors such as transport, manufacturing, and agriculture. ➡️https://t.co/xs6hi8UmeW https://t.co/z4aglNLeUK

Countries are adopting renewables at an unprecedented pace, and solar power has been leading the way. This year, the cost of #solarpower dropped to about $45 per megawatt-hour, from $381 in 2010. That makes solar power the cheapest form of electricity, yet, on a global basis 👀 https://t.co/MdwhREIAh5

Hydrogen is already produced on a global scale, but according to @IEA, its production is guilty of annual CO2 emissions equal to those of Indonesia and the United Kingdom combined. The world has to increase #hydrogen production from renewable sources to achieve 100% clean fuel. https://t.co/UHlCHQM3Yn
