NEW | Renewables reached a RECORD 30% of global electricity in 2023, kickstarting the fall in power sector emissions 🌪️☀️ Driven by rapid solar and wind growth, the world is moving towards a new age of falling fossil fuels. But how quickly emissions can fall will depend on the pace of the renewables' revolution. The world needs to reach 60% renewable electricity by 2030 to stay on track for 1.5C.

Renewables will be able to power 83% of India's electricity during the daytime in 2032, up from just 34% in 2023 ☀️⚡️ However, to meet growing power demand around the clock, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) costs must fall significantly for renewables to expand beyond daylight hours 🔋📉 #IndiaBattery👇 https://lnkd.in/e4w_2yrD

The UK's largest hotspot for #methane emissions is its last coal mine 🏭 🇬🇧 Coal mines are major emitters of methane (CH4) - a greenhouse gas that is up to 80x more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) #CMM https://lnkd.in/eYc5-Hgt

Unlocking just 9% of agri-PV potential is enough to cover ALL electricity needs of farming and food processing in Central Europe ⚡☀️ Why does it matter? Because 🇨🇿🇭🇺🇵🇱🇸🇰 supply 20% of the EU’s wheat, 29% of oats, and a whopping 57% of berries. https://lnkd.in/ehm7KJs5

Gas prices are rising again, reminding us that reliance on fossil fuels is a risky business. Countries that have the most gas in their electricity mix will be the hardest hit by this volatility. Dig into the data using our new European energy prices tool 📈 https://lnkd.in/dapFf7ay

„Česko nedávno schválilo novelu, ktorá podporí rozvoj agrovoltaiky. Bolo by skvelé, ak by sme mohli motivovať k podobným krokom aj v iných krajinách stredoeurópskeho regiónu.“ Tento úvodný rozhovor s Paweł Czyżak, PhD pred pár mesiacmi odštartoval detailný výskum témy agrovoltaiky, analýzu údajov o potenciáli krajín pre tento typ technológie a štúdium legislatívnych zmien, ktoré môžu vytvoriť kvalitné zákony pre región strednej Európy. A výsledky sú skvelé: 👩🌾 agrovoltaika môže zvýšiť výnosy plodín až o 16 % a zvýšiť zisky poľnohospodárov ☀ stredná Európa by mohla takmer strojnásobiť svoju súčasnú výrobu elektrickej energie z obnoviteľných zdrojov pomocou agri-PV 💡 stredoeurópske krajiny by mohli inštalovať 180 GW agri-pv ak by to umožnili ich právne predpisy. Chceli sme tiež zdôrazniť, že zmeny v legislatíve musia uľahčiť život poľnohospodárom a mala som veľkú radosť z využitia Česka ako krajiny s dobrým prístupom k tejto téme. (A taktiež z toho, že máme krásne Ember infografiky k dispozícii aj v češtine:)). Pre viac informácii - https://lnkd.in/eKmqWqRw Za cenné rady ďakujem Jiri Bim Solární Asociace. #agrovoltaics
