How modular renewables can reduce the costs of relying on carbon capture
The most important international climate conference is around the corner. COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan will be especially important because next year countries will submit their five-yearly national climate plans – or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – as set out under the Paris Agreement.
Solar Power Alone Won't Save Us
Ideas By Daniel Quiggin August 24, 2024 7:00 AM EDT Daniel Quiggin is a senior research fellow with the Environment and Society Centre at Chatham House. He specializes in the analysis of how national and global energy systems will evolve out to 2050. Solar power continues to break record after record. If solar continues its current 5-year compound growth rate of 23%, then by the end of 2046, it could be supplying all our global energy demand at 2023 levels.
Whether 1.5°C is ‘alive’ or ‘dead’, a new climate plan will be required
The target of limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels has been a totemic threshold ever since the 2015 Paris Agreement, indicating whether climate change is within manageable limits, whatever the political rhetoric. In June 2023, the global temperature temporarily passed the threshold, with heatwaves, wildfires and flooding affecting every part of the world.
Opinion: COP26 Offers a Chance for Governments to Start Taking Climate Change Seriously
At their recent meeting in Tianjin, China’s special envoy on climate Xie Zhenhua and the U.K.’s President of the upcoming U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26), reportedly held “candid, in-depth and constructive” talks regarding arrangements for the meeting, and cooperation on climate change between the two nations.

Green Industries Can Accelerate a True Jobs-Focused Recovery
23 June 2020 If stimulus packages target low-carbon sectors, the global economy will see a faster jobs-based recovery as well as significant movement towards averting the global climate catastrophe. Daniel Quiggin Senior Research Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources Programme As of the beginning of May, 33 million Americans had lost their jobs in the preceding seven-week lockdown - equivalent to a 14.7% unemployment rate, and quadrupling the 2019 rate of 3.5%.

Scrapping the combustion engine: the metals critical to success of EVs by Daniel Quiggin
In 2016, EV sales grew by 55 per cent – twenty times greater than ICE vehicles. That said, an unsubsidized Tesla Model 3 that will be rolling off the production lines within days, still costs $35,000, which for a medium-sized car is still beyond many consumers’ budgets., So how near is this inflection or tipping point and what could stand in the way? Looking forward, one unknown is the price of critical metals needed for EV batteries.
