A recent UK Supreme Court decision will make it harder for new fossil fuel projects to gain approval across Europe and beyond. This ruling has already been used by campaigners to oppose a proposed coal mine in Cumbria for steel production. https://lnkd.in/djDQqumx #BeyondFossilFuels

To meet the UK’s Paris agreement target of cutting emissions by 68% by 2030, the gvt must rapidly scale-up wind, solar & heatpumps. Renewable energy addresses the climate crisis, lowers living costs and reduces dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets. https://lnkd.in/e6QZngPn

Good update from Montel Analytics: Fossil fuel power generation in EU fell 24% in Q2 2024. #FossilGas & coal declined by 27% & 28%, lignite fell by 12%. Gas-fired generation mostly declined in UK, Italy, France & Germany. While solar and wind rose by 15% & 9%. https://lnkd.in/d_myPdKK #BeyondFossilFuels #RenewableEnergy

“Wind & solar are low hanging fruit, & choosing renewables is a greener move that makes economic sense. But more political will is needed" - Z. Kozybay, researcher Global Energy Monitor https://lnkd.in/d6KdjU4B #BeyondFossilFuels
By 2028, the Western Balkans’ planned solar and wind capacity could generate 11 TWh annually -- rendering the dash for gas obsolete -- reveals a new Global Energy Monitor, REScoop.eu and Bankwatch report. The region has more than 23 GW of proposed utility-scale solar and wind projects—almost 70 per cent more than a year ago. If these projects become operational, they could replace all present and future gas power capacity in the region, avert 103 million tonnes in lifetime CO2 emissions, and save over EUR 9 billion in energy costs and stranded assets. Yet the region’s operating utility-scale solar and wind capacity currently accounts for just 7 per cent of the regional installed capacity, while only 6 per cent (1.3 GW) of prospective capacity is under construction and very likely to become operational. To increase the realisation rate, the report calls for political prioritisation of renewables over gas and rationalisation of permitting processes, while ensuring full application of EU environmental law.

'100% renewable' should mean a company is fully powered by renewable energy - but sadly, that's not the case. Amazon is merely buying cheap renewable ‘credits’ that are unrelated to their actual energy use. Meanwhile, the company’s emissions have risen by 34% since they first made this pledge. Offset purchases do little to address the soaring energy demand driven by AI and data centres. This is why we must keep carbon offsets out of corporate emissions accounting.

Europe is at a pivotal moment in its transition to renewable energy, reflecting a wider global shift. Solar and wind are setting records, but financial and infrastructure barriers are holding back progress. An estimated €584 billion is needed by 2030 to adequately upgrade and expand the grid to accommodate this influx of clean power. Without this vital investment, Europe's transition risks stalling, leaving its vast renewable energy potential untapped. Long read on the investment gap: https://lnkd.in/dazS49rz
