How do energy crises affect decarbonization? We show that 2022 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦 neither accelerated nor derailed EU's energy transitions. Despite lower subsidies for RE and higher support for fossils #Solar ↑, #wind, #gas, #oil →, #coal ↓ doi.org/10.3390/en19... @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social

Offshore will be vital after 2050 — but for getting to Net Zero proven land-based renewables remain key. 3/3

A study in @ScienceMagazine shows wind & solar in just 1% of coastal waters could generate 22 PWh/yr — nearly all global electricity. However ⚡ Floating renewables need years to mature ⚓ Sites at sea must compete with fishing, navigation & security 2/3 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The role of offshore wind and solar PV resources in global low-carbon transition

Offshore wind and solar PV could meet nearly 30% of 2050 electricity demand using only 1% of suitable ocean areas.

Building #renewables on land is getting harder as good sites run out 🌊 What if we build wind and solar at sea? I, @jdjewell.bsky.social & Tim Kazlou argue in @uk.theconversation.com that only a small share of the vast offshore potential can be used by 2050 theconversation.com/just-1-of-co... 1/3

Just 1% of coastal waters could power a third of the world’s electricity – but can we do it in time?

Offshore wind and solar have tremendous potential but still face many challenges – new study.

Sure. But as soon as a solution is "on the list" we should be able to do a feasibility assessment similar to that we did for CCS here.

That's true, but neither of those can support negative emissions or contribute in other niche CCS applications. So we need CCS even if all renewables and related tech develop astronomically fast.
