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

Decades of #temperature records show us how the earth is warming 🌡 In 2020, the recorded global temperature was 1.25°C warmer than preindustrial levels. Upper-ocean temperatures reached a record high in 2020, and 2021 is shaping up to be in the top 10 warmest years in history.

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

Despite the pandemic, 2020 marked the best year in history for the global #windindustry with 93 GW of new capacity installed – a 53% year-on-year increase 👏 Today, there is a total of 743 GW of installed wind power capacity worldwide, eliminating over 1.1 billion tons of CO2. https://t.co/nbgSYFgBfm

$131 trillion in #climate investments will be needed by 2050 to limit global warming 🌎 A hefty bill that needs to be divided across consumers, businesses, and governments. For more information on climate finance, check out @IRENA's report on https://t.co/GiFx0Vrrap

4% of electricity generation came from #solarpower this year, up from 1.4% in 2016. IHSMarkit's data shows that global installations of solar panels might meet 175 gigawatts of power by the end of 2021. That’s enough energy to power 35 million U.S. households for a year 🏘️ https://t.co/RCwv67cFpr

#Geothermal energy relies on heat from the earth’s mantle to generate electricity by using steam to turn a turbine ♨️ It supports the world's green energy transition agenda by supplying power to the grid around the clock without emitting any #greenhousegases. https://t.co/qgn46scSvB

We can transform bio-renewables into #aviation fuel ✈️ Organic biomass, such as forest trimmings and algae, stores energy from sunlight that can be converted into #biofuel through a chemical conversion process at a biorefinery. https://t.co/u2J7NutrA4

Commercial #nuclear electricity production is predicted to reach 35% by 2040, up from 10% today ⚛️ Check out @OECD_NEA's report on nuclear power for more information on the world's current nuclear capacity and its predicted future impact: https://t.co/GiFx0Vrrap https://t.co/eaOYQG0SNB

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

As automakers scramble to go electric, companies are betting on hydrogen 🚗🔋 Companies such as @Petronas and @nelhydrogen announced plans to slash the cost of green hydrogen production by 65% to $1-2 per kg by 2025. For more info on hydrogen production: https://t.co/xs6hi9bX6u https://t.co/Xprbh6uDVy

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

#Hydrogen, the fuel that supported humans on their way to the moon, has various production methods and applications 🚀 Take a look at its major production processes, which are typically differentiated by color in the CCE Guide's report on hydrogen: https://t.co/TRjz3NZyg4 https://t.co/t3HFn1iblG
