As ‘unabated’ is in the spotlight at COP28, a little bit of history:
In April 2009, the UK gov announced that it would not allow multiple new coal power plants to be built.
This followed an extensive NGO campaign advice from the new Committee on Climate Change.

Neat new chart from the new @IEA CCUS report.
We may not yet have the real-world data we want for accurate cost estimates yet, but lead times are another valuable metric and are available for more projects. The variability looks typical of an early-stage, large industrial sector
27 Nov 2023
New policy & business approaches are needed to support scaling up of carbon capture, utilisation & storage to help reach net zero goals
Our latest report shows CCUS is seeing unprecedented momentum, but implementation is lagging behind.

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28
It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.
Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment.

The energy world will look very different by 2030, even under today's policy settings
🚗 Nearly 10 times as many electric cars
☀️ Renewables = 80% of new power
⚡️ Electric heating outselling gas boilers
🏭 Fossil fuel demand has peaked

My new @iea piece on the latest global energy innovation data for R&D spending and VC is out.
There's no shortage of risks but energy is remarkably resilient compared to VC in general.
🚨 Includes a bonus 50-slide deck of trends per sector and region.
