“Energy Revolution”
“A new global energy revolution which would completely transform the way we produce and use energy”. Yes, Yes, Mr. Tanakan we’re on it!
The Executive Director from the International Energy Agency (IEA) wasn’t talking about bike power on the 6th of June, but how we use a wide range of other revolutionary technologies to meet the most ambitious IPCC scenario aimed at keeping temperature increases below 2.4°C.
To achieve only a 2.4°C increase, a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions from todays levels will be required by 2050. The lowest cost route, known as the (Energy technology Perspective) ETP BLUE route, explores the technologies and the investment required to achieve this goal. It focuses on four main areas; energy reduction, CO2 capture and storage, renewables and nuclear energy.
MR thanks Mr. Tanakan for highlighting to a large number of powerful people just how much trouble we’re in and for giving them some recommendations for scraping through on the cheap.
MR are looking forward to hearing about the ETP GREEN route which hopefully will be following shortly, be ultra revolutionary, and will at least make passing comment to bike power!
