Land-use (including mining) for various electricity generation technologies from @OurWorldInData: midpoints between 1 and 25 m2/MWh.yr Further benchmarks: * residential electricity use in EU: ~3.5 MWh/yr * in an all-electric home: ~10 MWh/yr ourworldindata.org/land-use-…

There is still low-hanging fruit to conserve energy. #energyefficiency

Join us on March 23rd for the 4th webinar of our Electrification Academy with @RegAssistProj. In this event, @nh_nikos and Iony Patriota de Siqueira will present their new @CIGREWorld Green Book on electricity systems of the future. Register at copperalliance.zoom.us/webin…

In short, a world with a 100% #WindWaterSolar system will be a much better place.

Great webinar today with @mzjacobson on 100% Wind-Water-Solar for everything. Watch the recording or download the slides at youtu.be/XmRAxB9MTyU #RE100 #renewables #energyefficiency #energytransition #decarbonization #airquality

From a material efficiency perspective, a second life for car batteries is highly preferrable and could cover demand for utility-scale storage by 2030. Very little is however written/known about the energy efficiency of this solution. greentechmedia.com/articles/…

With renewable energy industries rapidly maturing, more data on lifetime and reliability is becoming available. Trends are moving in the right direction - photovoltaic power plants today operate a decade longer than they did a decade ago. greentechmedia.com/articles/…

It doesn't suffice to 'go renewable' on an annual basis. Matching demand with renewable supply on a weekly or daily basis will solve a lot of issues. It doesn't have to be 24/7 though. greentechmedia.com/articles/… @DEvercooren

Another frontier for emobility is being passed, according to a new paper from ACEEE on electric trucks: models with longer ranges (up to 500 miles) are scheduled to enter the market in 2020 and 2021. aceee.org/blog/2020/01/elect… #decarbonisation #electromobility

Via our colleagues from @ThinkCopperAsia: today is national energy conservation day. Think about the greenest kWh 😎👍🏻. beeindia.gov.in/content/nati…
