Amid the noise, there is a clear signal from the IEA’s World Energy Outlook: the energy transition is underway. Clean energy is surging – solar up 344% and wind nearly doubling by 2035 – and fossil fuel demand will peak around 2030 if governments stick to their pledges (1/7)

It's been an odd year in Asia so far. Stalwart #LNG buyers Korea and Taiwan are leading the way. Even Japan grew. Meanwhile, the headliners in every PowerPoint sales pitch dedicated to LNG demand growth, China & India, have temporarily lost their appetites. #ONGT @ColumbiaUEnergy

New analysis finds that Asian countries are most at risk from oil and gas supply disruptions if #Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, with #Japan most vulnerable. Read our analysis ➡️ zerocarbon-analytics.org/arc… (1/4)

Excellent thread explaining why the IEA sees global gas demand growth coming to an end "the burden of proof is on the bull case"
Is natural gas demand about to peak? This year’s @IEA World Energy Outlook helps shed light on this important question. A quick thread:

I've heard repeatedly that new members of parliament are being lobbied by the gas industry on hydrogen for heating which we all know is a terrible idea. Here are the facts about hydrogen, the reasons for the lobbying and what we must do - to a drum and bass soundtrack. 🕺🕺

What I'm seeing on my home island, Carriacou, must not become humanity's new normal. If governments everywhere don’t step up, 8 billion people will be facing this blunt force trauma head on, on a continuous basis. We need climate action back at the top of political agendas.

A major @IEA report out today shows that the transition to net zero emissions would mean lower energy costs globally than if we continue on our current path Scaling up clean technologies is good for affordability as well as for cutting emissions More: iea.li/4aM2zNn

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

1/3 There's a strong group of countries fighting at #COP28 to keep alive the 1.5c limit in the Paris Agreement - not just in words but with a clear pathway to deliver. With our friends in the @HACoalition we met @antonioguterres to present our views. We'll keep working together.

Projected #climate impacts from Gulf oil & gas extraction via @kjellkuehne + @LINGOInitiative Saudi @aramco oil / gas output could incur global damages of $44 trillion + cost lives of 24m by 2100. #COP28. drive.google.com/file/d/10hD…

On balance, investments required to avoid 1.5C warming + resulting impacts seem worth it, wouldn't you say? Via @climatepolicy
