And we have about 6.6 GWh of projects under construction that will come online by January 2027.”</em></strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lots of policy changes are under consideration that will impact this market. From removing grid fee exemptions and setting up capacity markets to offering inertia services revenues. If Germany gets it right, the sector could boom. If it gets it wrong…&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><em>“Like with inertia, energy storage can be part of the solution, but you need to let us be part of the solution, by defining some kind of market mechanism that provides a price signal for energy storage. So it knows what to do, what not to do, in order to support the grid.”</em></strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Joining Sam on this episode of the Policy Dispatch is Lars Stephan, head of policy and market development at energy storage software developer Fluence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy the show!&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For more on storage, check out:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Rystad Energy’s global storage <a href="https://www.rystadenergy.com/insights/whitepaper-energy-storage-outlook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">outlook</a>;&nbsp;</li><li>‘<a href="https://foresightmedia.com/story/sAuMlmZt-me6kzga0-f86fd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Storage needs a loud revolution</a>’, an audio oped by SolarPowerEurope;&nbsp;</li><li>‘<a href="https://foresightmedia.com/story/sB9aYYnn-me6kzga0-71866" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Playing the long-duration storage game</a>’, episode of The Jolt&nbsp;</li><li>Stay tuned for a new in-depth article on storage as well!</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

Lars Stephan,” Senior Manager Policy and Market Development, Fluence.</em></strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Germany’s energy storage market has been up and running for a decade and is just now starting to really ignite and cross some exciting milestones.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More and more projects are starting to be announced, construction is beginning and the German grid is starting to feel the benefit of having power storage backup when it is really needed.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><em>“So if we look at the project scale at the moment, we have about 2 to 2.7 GWh of utility-scale energy storage projects deployed in Germany. And we have about 6.6 GWh of projects under construction that will come online by January 2027.”</em></strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lots of policy changes are under consideration that will impact this market. From removing grid fee exemptions and setting up capacity markets to offering inertia services revenues. If Germany gets it right, the sector could boom. If it gets it wrong…&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><em>“Like with inertia, energy storage can be part of the solution, but you need to let us be part of the solution, by defining some kind of market mechanism that provides a price signal for energy storage. So it knows what to do, what not to do, in order to support the grid.”</em></strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Joining Sam on this episode of the Policy Dispatch is Lars Stephan, head of policy and market development at energy storage software developer Fluence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy the show!&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For more on storage, check out:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Rystad Energy’s global storage <a href="https://www.rystadenergy.com/insights/whitepaper-energy-storage-outlook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">outlook</a>;&nbsp;</li><li>‘<a href="https://foresightmedia.com/story/sAuMlmZt-me6kzga0-f86fd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Storage needs a loud revolution</a>’, an audio oped by SolarPowerEurope;&nbsp;</li><li>‘<a href="https://foresightmedia.com/story/sB9aYYnn-me6kzga0-71866" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Playing the long-duration storage game</a>’, episode of The Jolt&nbsp;</li><li>Stay tuned for a new in-depth article on storage as well!</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Clean technologies are the indispensable hardware of the energy transition.

He was the first person to fly non-stop around the world in a hot air balloon and the first to do the same in a solar-powered plane.</p><br><p>Piccard is firmly of the belief that society has all the tools it needs to solve the climate crisis, but there is perhaps something currently missing: enthusiasm and the will to act. That is why his latest adventure involves piloting a hydrogen-powered plane around the globe, to show the world that it can be done.</p><br><p>One of the world’s greatest living explorers joins the Policy Dispatch to explain his thinking behind this latest endeavour and to inject a dose of hope into the climate and energy debate.</p><br><p>Enjoy the show!</p><br><p><strong>Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.

			<description><![CDATA[New Zealand Aotearoa is infamous for its breath-taking scenery, remote location in the Pacific Ocean, all-conquering rugby team and being the backdrop for the Lord of the Rings. 'The Land of the Long White Cloud' is, like every other country on Earth, presented with some difficult and complex energy transition hurdles that will have to be overcome.Governments have attempted to address these climate and energy issues by launching an emissions trading system, establishing carbon budgets and aiming for a completely clean power grid. This is all with a 2050 net-zero target firmly in mind.Are the policies in place enough to get New Zealand on track? Or are they insufficient to hit that mid-century benchmark? Where must the heavy lifting be done and why is climate neutrality such a difficult prospect for what is comparatively a small country? Internationally-recognised climate expert Dr Christina Hood joins Sam for this Policy Dispatch episode to explain the true scale of the job facing New Zealand.Enjoy!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Dr Christina Hood: https://twitter.com/cjhood71Sam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15FORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Transport in the Balkans leaves a lot to be desired. Badly connected and lacking investment, the region sorely needs a mobility policy boost. This week, one of the top officials tasked with doing just that joins the show.In Europe’s southeast, the Balkan peninsula has a transport dilemma. Relatively short distances between cities take hours to navigate and what should be a well-connected region is anything but. Motorway expansion is the go-to government option while rail and waterways often only get the scraps. Given transport’s substantial contribution to our emissions surplus, this makes for an interesting climate policy case study. If the Balkans gets its transport act together, who knows what other green objectives the region could achieve?As six countries vie for EU membership, one international body, the Transport Community, aims to help integrate those nations into the pan-European bloc to both accelerate their membership applications and make the transition a smoother ride. That means helping governments adopt EU standards and rules so that they can tap into funding, as well as making recommendations on what kind of policies should be prioritised.This week Sam is joined by the Transport Community’s director, Matej Zakonjšek, to discuss the difficulties the region is facing, what kind of transport options the Balkans should focus on and why these EU-hopefuls could actually outstrip their northern neighbours if the right decisions are made soon.

			<description><![CDATA[Decarbonisation is happening across sectors, and although the pace may at times be less than required, the direction of travel is generally the correct one. Industries and businesses are all starting to actively engage with the energy transition in one shape or another. That means there is a role for firms to help other companies clean up their act.This week, Sam is joined by Gwenaelle Avice-Huet – who at the time of recording was chief strategy and sustainability officer at multinational company Schneider Electric – to discuss what her employer is doing to turbocharge the green transition. From labour market changes to energy-saving digitalisation, this week’s episode takes a peak at what kind of policies private companies are deploying.

			<description><![CDATA[2023 has been a big year for energy and climate developments already even though we are only just over the halfway point. From the fallout of the energy price crisis to the beginnings of a ‘green gold rush’, there has been plenty of energy transition news to report on and analyse. How is industry actually going to decarbonise? What is going on in transport? And what can we expect from the end of year COP summit?These are just some of the points considered in this week’s show.To round up these big talking points and look ahead to the big milestones ahead, Sam is joined this week by fellow Foresight journalist Kira Taylor.

			<description><![CDATA[The Energy Charter Treaty has been referred to as a “relic of the past” and “a chimaera of the energy industry” during the three decades it has been in force. Many see it as a crutch for the fossil fuel sector and an unnecessary weight that is dragging down the green transition. Some countries have signalled their intent to leave the agreement, Italy has already left and others are in the process of considering their options. In July, the executive branch of the European Union proposed that the 27-member bloc should exit the treaty en masse. So what is going on?This week, Fabian Flues, investment policy lead at PowerShift, joins the show to explain why the ECT is so divisive and why the green transition could accelerate by consigning the agreement to the past. He also suggests that this might be a death knell for the ECT, as it might not be able to survive without EU countries as members. Could this be an important milestone in the journey towards net-zero?Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:PowerShift: https://twitter.com/PowerShift_eVSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Australia’s industries are thirsty for power and its energy exporters supply a lot of the world with cheap coal and gas. But as the world changes, Australia’s way of doing business will have to as well. Long-accused of being a laggard in the shift towards green energy systems, Australia has a net-zero goal and a 2030 emissions target, but little else besides in terms of meaningful climate policies. Renewable energy investments have stalled this year, despite the country’s immense potential for clean power, and a new instrument meant to decarbonise big polluters has faced heavy criticism and been accused of greenwashing. Coal and gas dominate the domestic energy mix and there is little appetite to meet climate goals, let alone increase their ambition.There are signs of encouragement though: a new net-zero authority aims to help chart a course for fossil fuel industries to transition their workforces and help communities survive the shift to green and thrive afterwards. Plus the very fact that Australia’s emissions problem is so heavily skewed towards power generation, means that there is a rather simple solution available.To delve deeper into how the Land Down Under is approaching the transition and what policies are — and more importantly are not — in place, the Policy Dispatch is thrilled to welcome Ketan Joshi, an Australian analytics and communications professional who helps climate groups advance climate action.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Ketan Joshi: https://twitter.com/KetanJ0Sam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[When the United States unveiled its Inflation Reduction Act and showed off the billions of dollars in financing that it is offering for industries like renewable energy, carbon capture, clean mobility and more, the first question was: how will Europe respond? Not long after Joe Biden’s administration debuted the IRA, the European Union published its Net-Zero Industry Act, in a bid to make it easier for homegrown manufacturers and developers to compete.Lacking the pure financial firepower of the US, the EU has instead attempted to grant extra perks like streamlined regulation, permitting reform and procurement benefits.But as the act makes it way through the labyrinth of the EU legislative machine and lawmakers decide what should and what should not be given priority, it is important to remember that there is more at stake than just turbocharging European industry. A whole host of other actors, from civil society to academia, have a vested interest in seeing a well-designed net-zero act make it into EU law at the end of the process. However, their voices are not being heard.This week WWF Europe’s Camille Maury, an expert in industrial decarbonisation, joins the Policy Dispatch to explain why the EU risks missing an opportunity with the NZIA.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Camille Maury: https://twitter.com/CamilleMaury3Sam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[People on average spend 90% of their time in buildings, be it at home, at work or using public services like schools and hospitals. That explains why such a large portion of energy demand is soaked up by buildings and why such a huge chunk of emissions are produced by them. To decarbonise our edifices, several policies have to work harmoniously together, including but not limited to, energy efficiency standards, building codes, renewable energy rules, construction best practices and clean mobility targets. It is not an easy challenge to face but an all-important one if the energy transition is to be realised.This week, director of the Renovate Europe campaign and former practising architect Adrian Joyce joins the Policy Dispatch to chat about how Europe is trying to clean up its building stock. Adrian discusses with Sam where the money for renovations is going to come from, what legislation is waiting in the pipeline and how politics might impede progress. There is also a round of fact-checking and disinfo-busting of some of the more outlandish claims that have been made about the sector in recent months.

That explains why such a large portion of energy demand is soaked up by buildings and why such a huge chunk of emissions are produced by them. To decarbonise our edifices, several policies have to work harmoniously together, including but not limited to, energy efficiency standards, building codes, renewable energy rules, construction best practices and clean mobility targets. It is not an easy challenge to face but an all-important one if the energy transition is to be realised.This week, director of the Renovate Europe campaign and former practising architect Adrian Joyce joins the Policy Dispatch to chat about how Europe is trying to clean up its building stock. Adrian discusses with Sam where the money for renovations is going to come from, what legislation is waiting in the pipeline and how politics might impede progress. There is also a round of fact-checking and disinfo-busting of some of the more outlandish claims that have been made about the sector in recent months.

			<description><![CDATA[Reducing agriculture emissions is a big part of climate action and the wider energy transition. ‘Greenhouse gases’ may well be a term straight out of the farmyard but the sector is struggling to rid itself of those polluting emissions, despite attempts to clean up farming. Unlike power generation and transport, where much of the progress will be made simply by electrifying as much as possible and making sure there is enough renewable energy to fuel everything, agriculture has many more complex issues to contend with. Replacing one pollution-generating process often means a trade-off with other environmental concerns, meaning farmers are often damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Add in factors like slim margins, inflation and cultural concerns and you realise the difficulty of the task ahead. But improvements have been made and policies are being implemented to reduce farming’s climate impact. Progress may be slow but as initiatives like Europe’s Green Deal dig ever deeper footholds in how society goes about its business, focus is gradually shifting to the farmyard.Expert journalist Gerardo Fortuna, who has spent years covering the EU’s attempts to regulate agriculture and co-hosts a weekly podcast on the farm and food sector, joins Sam for a chat about where farming fits into the energy transition puzzle. Topics include the Ukraine war, a shift in who wields political power in agriculture and how policies like the ETS and CBAM will affect farming’s future.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Gerardo Fortuna: https://twitter.com/gerardofortunaSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Think about the United States’ relationship with cars and the first thing that comes to mind is probably gas-guzzling SUVs and gigantic pickup trucks roaring down an arrow-straight freeway.However, that may soon be an anachronistic impression of US transport now that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has tabled a new plan that would scrub billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from transport’s pollution docket.If adopted as it stands, the EPA’s standards would go some way toward putting the US on a more even footing with the likes of China and Europe when it comes to zero-emission mobility, especially when coupled with the financial firepower offered by the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act and its billions of dollars in green subsidies.But what does the plan actually mean for the automobile industry? How will this coexist with other vehicle standards and regulations? And how feasible is the EPA’s proposal?To answer these questions and more, Sam is joined by special guest Stephanie Searle from the International Council on Clean Transportation.

			<description><![CDATA[China is the latest country to get into emissions trading, launching a nationwide market in 2021 and using several regional and local pilot projects as a springboard. Many of the details still need to be hashed out, and the low price means that it is far too soon to see any actual decarbonising impact. But we have been here before: when Europe launched its emissions trading system nearly two decades ago, the early years were plagued by low prices, a glut of pollution permits and a regulatory system that did not extract the full potential from the market. Subsequent reforms have patched loopholes and dragged the price of carbon into a window where industries are now being forced to adopt greener technologies not to fall foul of the polluter pays principle. China has taken inspiration from the EU ETS and hopes to iron out the kinks in a shorter time span.Yan Qin, an expert in all things carbon market from Refinitiv, joins the Policy Dispatch this week to share her insights into China’s nascent effort, how it stacks up against the EU’s, and what the future holds for the promising policy. The discussion also dips into what China will hope to avoid as it develops its market, what other countries might be influenced by this development and to what extent Chinese efforts to price carbon are an attempt to defuse Europe’s new climate and trade superweapon, the carbon border adjustment mechanism. Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Yan Qin: https://twitter.com/yanqinyqSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[More clean power is being added to energy mixes on a daily basis, but it does not matter how many wind turbines or solar panels are installed; the electrons still need to reach homes and businesses. Supply cannot always match demand, either in quantity or timing, so that is where storage comes in. Whether it is hydropower dams, grid batteries, molten salt or the power of gravity, storage — both conventional and innovative — is gearing up to play an absolutely fundamental role in decarbonised energy systems.The road ahead is by no means a smooth one, though, as many hurdles stand in the way of 24/7 on-demand green electricity. Developers need to establish strong business cases to support their storage ambitions, and some policies are already helping to make that a reality. More changes are needed to unlock a storage boom and also establish the technology as a safeguard against the price spike crisis that happened towards the end of 2022. Helping to turbocharge this week’s Dispatch is Thomas Lewis from the European Association for the Storage of Energy.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Thomas Lewis: https://twitter.com/_thomaslewis?lang=enSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[India is poised to become the most populous country on Earth, with energy demands and climate concerns set to grow in step. Air pollution has long been a significant health concern in many of India’s cities, in particular in the capital of New Delhi, which regularly tops global pollution indexes. Given that air quality is intrinsically linked to the energy transition through sectors like transport, power generation, agriculture and more, India is a fascinating testbed for policies that can work on a broad scale. Whether that means shifting vehicles towards e-mobility, setting new industrial standards or making big investments in cleaning up the heating sector, India is slowly but surely making progress. But is it fast enough? What other policies must be taken seriously by the government to solve this problem? And what can India learn from other countries that struggle to keep air quality high?To tackle the pollution-climate issue, Sam is joined this week by Pallavi Pant from the Health Effects Institute, a US-based research group where she leads the global health programme.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Pallavi Pant: https://twitter.com/pallavipnt?lang=enSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Europe’s emissions trading system is considered to be the backbone of EU climate policies. After very nearly 20 years of service, the carbon market plays a substantial role in cutting emissions and driving demand for green technology by enforcing the polluter pays principle. Late last year, EU negotiators brokered an agreement on how to update the ETS, so that emissions are cut even further and more emitting sectors are finally introduced to the world of carbon pricing. The reform promises much but with more rules, comes more complexity.To understand more about the mammoth ETS deal, Policy Dispatch caught up with one of the negotiators that helped get the agreement over the line. Emma Wiesner, a Swedish MEP, chats with Sam live from her Parliament office in Strasbourg about what the future holds for the ETS, what aspects of the agreement disappointed her and how pricing pollution is just the start.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Emma Wiesner: https://twitter.com/emmawiesnerSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Gas heating is not an affordable heating option anymore. Instead, the demand and uptake of heat pumps in Europe’s building stock have seen a major surge in the past few months. Global heat pump sales rose 15% in 2021. In Germany alone, demand rose by 25% in the first half of 2022 year-on-year. And in Finland, by as much as 80% year-on-year.Heat pumps bring multiple benefits. So much so the European Commission and the International Energy Agency (IEA) have praised the technology: it saves emissions from heating (and cooling), it is proven that it can be installed in existing buildings and it brings multiple advantages for our grids in helping to electrify faster. Russia’s unprovoked war on Ukraine has had a huge impact on a market that has been in constant development for the past ten years.In this episode, we discuss the present and future of heat pumps in Europe—and dispel the myths around it—with Thomas Nowak, Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) in Brussels. Before working for the EHPA, he worked on several projects on the economic and social benefits of renewable energy. Thomas holds a university degree in business administration and economics.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Thomas Nowak: https://twitter.com/ThomasNowakEUSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[The European Green Deal must put consumers at the heart of its policies. The European Commission has put strong emphasis in the social dimension of its energy and climate policies, and the energy price crisis has made it more evident that our most vulnerable consumers must not be left behind.But even when Brussels and EU capitals have some exciting ideas to democratise and make clean energy affordable for all consumers, Europe needs to put the means and the structural measures to ensure those who need it the most can benefit from the energy transition.In this episode, we discuss with Marine Cornelis on questions around energy poverty, consumer rights and access to clean and affordable energy as a fundamental right. Marine Cornelis is the executive director and founder of Next Energy Consumer, a policy consultancy focused on the social aspects of the energy and climate transitions. Previously, Marine served as the Secretary General of NEON, the European network of energy dispute resolution services and ombudsmen in Brussels.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Marine Cornelis: https://twitter.com/marinecornelisSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[The European Commission’s climate chief Frans Timmermans said before leaving to COP27 that the EU’s emissions reduction target “can be increased to 57%”. This news came as EU legislators concluded the revisions of two key pieces of the EU’s climate legislation, the Effort Sharing Regulation and the LULUCF Regulation.Why are these two pieces of legislation so relevant and what is the state of play of many of the files that are still under negotiation?

			<description><![CDATA[Carbon dioxide removals (CDR) are, in essence, the opposite of carbon emissions: their goal is to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, ideally permanently. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sees an increasing role of removals in reaching net zero and limiting global warming.However, the concept of CDR is often misunderstood and confused with other storage and usage methods. To discuss this, we sat with Mark Preston Aragonès, a policy manager for carbon accounting at NGO Bellona Europa.Together with Mark, we will find out what CDR is and what isn’t, as the European Commission expects to put forward a proposal on the certification of carbon removals that should bring more integrity and accountability to the system.Enjoy the dispatch!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week's episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Mark Preston: https://twitter.com/markprstnSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Aviation has shortened distances across continents and connected people and cities all around the globe. However, it has also made our planet warmer. With a carbon footprint comparable to that of several countries – as well as a significant non-CO2 environmental impact – cleaning up aviation will be crucial to achieving our climate goals.In this episode, we dive deep into the outlook for ‘green’ aviation after the COVID-19 pandemic: which sticks and carrots are needed to decarbonise air transport, and why international organisations have been so slow in taking action? How can we incentive airlines to switch to sustainable alternatives to kerosene?To answer these questions, we sat with Jo Dardenne, Aviation Director at NGO Transport & Environment (T&E). Jo joined T&E in 2019 and manages their sustainable aviation campaigns which aim to address the impact of one of the transport sector's fastest growing greenhouse gas emitters. Her focus includes aviation taxation, the EU emissions trading system, and sustainable fuels.Enjoy the dispatch!Disclaimer - This episode was recorded on 7 October – just a few hours before the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) formally adopted a net zero by 2050 objective for global aviation.If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Jo Dardenne: https://twitter.com/dardennejo?lang=enSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Sky-high energy prices have threatened to bankrupt households and businesses alike, prompting governments and the European Union to dig into their pockets and design new energy and economic policies meant to quell the crisis.There is a lot of uncharted territory to cover. Governments have never had to replace energy supplies at such short notice and so comprehensively before. The EU has never had to build policies that skim off the huge revenue profits made by energy companies. Sacred cows like electricity market rules are suddenly on the chopping block.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Sky-high energy prices have threatened to bankrupt households and businesses alike, prompting governments and the European Union to dig into their pockets and design new energy and economic policies meant to quell the crisis.There is a lot of uncharted territory to cover. Governments have never had to replace energy supplies at such short notice and so comprehensively before. The EU has never had to build policies that skim off the huge revenue profits made by energy companies. Sacred cows like electricity market rules are suddenly on the chopping block. It is an exciting time to track these developments.Business as usual also continues to some extent for legislators and policymakers. How has the current situation affected work on issues like long-term renewables deployment and energy savings targets?

			<description><![CDATA[As the United Nations’ COP 27 in Egypt approaches, Africa’s energy and climate transition is in the spotlight.The African continent has an opportunity to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Its main hurdle, however, is the need for cheap resources and access to financing to achieve its decarbonisation, and the need to incentivise participation from local companies and investors in its energy markets.The untapped potential is vast: solar and wind investments aren’t happening at the scale needed, but its onshore wind power in Africa could match the region’s electricity demand 250 times over. Moreover, COP27 is expected to bring new commitments from African nations to phase out coal and just transition partnerships with developed countries.We are discussing these topics with Saliem Fakir, Executive Director of the African Climate Foundation. Prior to establishing the ACF, Saliem served as the Head of the Policy & Futures Unit of WWF South Africa for 11 years. Saliem has worked as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Public Administration and Planning and an Associate Director for the Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy at Stellenbosch University.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Saliem Fakir: https://twitter.com/AfricanClimateF + AfricaEuropeFdn: https://twitter.com/AfricaEuropeFdnSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[Buildings are a crucial piece in the jigsaw of the energy transition, one that is often overlooked. The EU’s building stock is responsible for as much as 40% of the bloc’s energy consumption, and for 36% of its greenhouse gas emissions.The EU is updating its rules on energy performance of buildings at a critical time, since Russia’s war on Ukraine is putting EU’s gas supply at risk. In the first episode of Policy Dispatch, FORESIGHT Climate & Energy’s new podcast, we take a deep dive into these questions with MEP Ciarán Cuffe, the EU lawmaker responsible for the revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).We will look into the need for Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), possibly “the most important part” of this revision according to Cuffe, as well as how he is ensuring that the review of the EPBD aligns with other key EU legislation currently under revision.Enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Ciarán Cuffe: https://twitter.com/CiaranCuffeSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorganAnna Gumbau: https://twitter.com/AnnaGumbau@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkShow notes:FORESIGHT Policy Section: https://foresightdk.com/category/policy/TRY FULL ACCESS TO FORESIGHT CLIMATE & ENERGY FOR €1 A DAYJoin over 100,000 policymakers, energy experts in business, finance, and academia, city leaders, and leading NGOs in having access to FORESIGHT Climate & EnergyGET YOUR 30 DAY TRIAL: www.foresightdk.com/subscribe/.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
