NEW DATA TOOL | Coal mines are a major source of methane. The big culprits could be vastly underreporting their CMM emission.
Ember’s new data tool allows you to explore where official data is lacking: ember-energy.org/data/coal-m…

Already today with the current electricity mix in the UK heat pumps reduce fossil fuel consumption 4x compared to gas boilers.
Nice visual from @ember_energy.

Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power
Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released
Here's the story of how that all came to an end:

NEW: IT'S NOT JUST THE UK!
🟢The UK is 14th OECD country to become coal-free.
🟢OECD coal power falls to less than HALF of its peak in 2007.
🟢All but 5 OECD countries have seen falls of at least 30% from peak coal power

Still so much work to do when it comes to decarbonizing the US power grid.

NEW: The rise of global solar this year was significantly underestimated. AGAIN.
Of the 6 major forecasters out there, all of them have been scrambling to update their forecasts through this year..

The UK closes its LAST coal plant at the end of this month, marking the beginning of its coal-free era.
How did the home of the world’s first coal-fired power station finally phase it out? Read more in our latest report 👀

Combining solar panels and crops could nearly TRIPLE renewable electricity in Central Europe ☀️
Agri-PV can bring benefits to farmers, such as
🌾 increased crop yields
🚜 maximised land use
💶 additional profits
