On World Wind Day, let's harness wind power for a sustainable future and a healthier planet! Celebrate the benefits of wind energy and discover its potential to transform our world. When the gavel fell at COP28 in late 2023, a historic milestone was reached: nearly 200 governments agreed on the need to triple global renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency improvements by 2030, moving towards a pathway that limits global warming to 1.5°C. Wind energy was recognized in the final decision text as a key technology. And not without reason. In 2023, a record 117 GW of new wind power was installed worldwide, a 50% increase over the previous year. #worldwindday #2024 #saveplanet #climateaction Source: activesustainability.com 

We're committed to being a sustainable business which is why we've recently expanded our renewable energy capabilities ♻️ We have installed two 15-kilowatt wind turbines to generate electricity at our headquarters in Cumbria and we're beefing up solar capacity and battery storage to enable us to supply up to 90% of our energy needs from renewables. As AI becomes ever more capable of tackling increasingly complex tasks, the energy requirements increase exponentially, so this is our way of making sure we're not contributing to global warming. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability

The industry's rapid evolution is undeniable. With a pressing need for climate change solutions, wind energy stands as a key contributor. By 2050, renewables are expected to make up two-thirds of global energy, with wind power playing a significant role at 25%. This shift requires a significant ramp-up in wind turbine installations. The industry has already achieved a landmark with over 1 terawatt (TW) of capacity, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 1.3 billion tonnes yearly – akin to eliminating South America's emissions. This marks just the start of a larger quest towards net zero and maintaining global warming below 1.5°C. #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction #NetZero Covestro

COP conferences often begin with high ambitions and sometimes conclude with results falling short of expectations. However, it's inspiring to note that there are companies, managers, and individuals working tirelessly every day to progress towards the goal of decarbonizing the economy effectively. In the words of Margaret Mead, paraphrased, 'Never doubt that a small group of mindful and committed citizens and businesses can change the world. In fact, it's the only way the world has ever changed.' 💚🌍 #COP28 #Decarbonization #MargaretMead"

Our vision at #COP28🌍: combining renewables and digitalized power grids to tackle climate change. Discover how we are investing in renewable technologies and smart grids to accelerate this journey. 👇

The Global Energy Perspective 2023 explores scenarios for a sustainable energy future, emphasizing electrification to reduce global emissions. With solar and battery technologies needing significant scaling, companies like tesa offer innovative adhesive solutions for automotive and industrial sectors, overcoming bottlenecks and supporting the shift toward green, carbon-neutral power generation. The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need to mitigate climate change and transition to sustainable energy sources. The Global Energy Perspective 2023 outlines various scenarios for the energy transition, aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with a preference for a pathway that keeps temperature rise within 1.5°C. #energy #solar #renewables #sustainable #climate #adhesive #greenenergy tesa PES Solar Szilvia Owolabi Julian SOAVI Gabor Kiss Claudia Rosing-Glasow Brady Hanson Lise Juhl Kelkal

Thank you to everyone who participated in our December poll which asked "What technology do you think will fast track the energy transition and slash emissions before 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5°C?". With 48 votes overall, here's a glimpse at the results 🔍. Renewable Energy Sources: 63% Electric Vehicles / Transport: 10% Carbon Capture / Storage (CCS): 19% Other (Please Specify): 8% It's heartening to see strong support for renewable energy sources 🌍. This aligns with our commitment to providing low-carbon solutions. Electric vehicles and carbon capture/storage also garnered significant interest 🚗. #MitsubishiElectric #EnergyTransition #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #LowCarbon #CarbonReduction #EnergyEfficiency

The latest Rystad Energy Report calls for a $3.1 trillion investment in grid infrastructure by 2030 to meet the demands of a sustainable energy transition and keep global warming in check. At Norden, we understand the importance of a robust and modern grid system to support the surge in renewable energy development. With the need for an additional 18 million kilometers of grid network to power our future, we are poised at the forefront of innovation, ready to tackle the challenges and contribute to this monumental development. It's not just about extending the grid's reach; it's about smart investments in battery storage and digitalization to create a resilient and efficient energy system for all. Together, we can build a grid that's as boundless as our ambition for a greener planet. Let’s empower the change. #WeTheNorden https://lnkd.in/dmk2Gaph
