Explore 100s of options for European carbon neutrality & energy self-sufficiency in our recent paper led by @bryn_pickering - see his nice thread, and the TU Delft news story: tudelft.nl/en/2022/tu-delft/…. Want to do work like this? We are hiring a PhD student: tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/wer…
As promised, I'm back with more details! Check out our new @Joule_CP paper and accompanying interactive web tool to explore the diversity of options to reach climate neutrality in an energy self-sufficient Europe. 1/9 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2022… 🔍 explore.callio.pe/

New exciting #PhD position in our group at TU Delft about energy system modelling and weather-dependent variability, with great flexibility in deciding the specific research direction autonomously (1/n)

A new paper in @OneEarth_CP provides wider context to our recent #SPORES paper (tinyurl.com/y5vyekcl). I thank a lot V.M. Nick and A.T.D. Perera for this very welcome discussion of our findings! -->

Planning highly renewable power systems involves compromise across diverse stakeholders. Is it possible to balance techno-economic feasibility with social and political goals? Read our new @Joule_CP study w @bryn_pickering @EmyColomboPOLI @stefpf 👇 bit.ly/2QkEBSL

Thread and new research on whether Europe would be better off building renewables locally everywhere, or only in the best locations and then providing more interconnection capacity. TLDR: could do it either way, costs not vastly different, think about resilience.
Continental or local? 100% renewable electricity supply in Europe can be both. But cost and especially required infrastructure differ. Read our new @Joule_CP study: doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2020…. With @JLilliestam @stemarelli @stefpf @IASS_Potsdam @ETH. HIGHLIGHTS BELOW👇

Not good. Clearly those subsidies have to go.
Countries are failing to curb emissions. A new report lays much blame on government subsidies for fossil-fuel industries econ.st/2OttplC

We know how to save the climate in mathematical models but is it possible in the real world? @acherp & I propose a new method to explore feasibility of climate mitigation @WIREs_Reviews bit.ly/2rsBfE1, a sequel to my exchange w/ @KevinClimate go.nature.com/2qE2zie. /1

Phlippe Tulkens (EU Commission, DG RTD) at the Emp-E conference: "Black box models are no longer science. Science need to be accountable, verifiabe by scientific peers". Good to heat that #OpenSource and #OpenData for energy models will be part the next Horizon programme

Hey @NewYorker, I fixed the headline for you: "What if we stopped pretending that false prophecies of unavoidable doom are anything other than crypto-denialist narratives that favor an agenda of inaction?" (see: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…) newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

OK comparison of travel option emisisons, but misses the key point: flying accelerates emissions by its very high emission intensity/time. U could never do 4 intercontinental car trips a year. "Flying is the fastest way to cook your children" @BBCNews bbc.com/news/science-environ…

Excellent @TheAtlantic article on the exposés we've been publishing about Bolsonaro's Minister of Justice, the corrupted investigation he led that resulted in Lula's removal from the election, and the fallout in Brazil from our reporting, by @Vinncent: theatlantic.com/internationa…
