The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy highlights the importance of "A Roadmap for Industrial Decarbonization in Pennsylvania,” a Strategen report prepared for Ohio River Valley Institute, which offers the first Pennsylvania-specific decarbonization plan to achieve significant emissions reductions as soon as 2030. The report reveals how five critical #decarbonization levers could decrease emissions by 21% by 2030 and 84% by 2050, with an estimated investment of $30-35 billion. Additionally, the report emphasizes how industrial decarbonization creates #jobs, improves #PublicHealth, and increases competitiveness for Pennsylvania industries. 📄Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gAwacPvX  📈 Download the report: https://lnkd.in/e7wNHSdD     #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition

Done well, the renewable energy transition should improve the lives of First Nations Australians. The clean energy sector promises new employment opportunities in regional and remote areas. Mandated employment targets can create demand for First Nations workers. But for industry to meet the targets requires having enough people with the right skills. A new report by the First Nations Clean Energy Network released today puts forward a 12-point plan recommending a mix of “supply” measures (such as training) and “demand” measures (industry job commitments), many which can be implemented immediately to get the outcomes we all need. You can view the report here, including the recommendations and actions: https://lnkd.in/e2F3UCjp A First Nations clean energy jobs plan developed and implemented by industry, government and First Nations communities is essential if we are to ensure renewable energy delivers jobs for First Nations Australians – and break with the past, writes co-authors Ruby Heard and Chris Briggs in this piece published in The Conversation Australia + NZ. Co-authors of our report come from a variety of organisations including University of Technology Sydney, Electrical Trades Union of Australia, Alinga Energy Consulting, SGS Economics and Planning, and Indigenous Energy Australia assisted by a steering group including Mint Renewables, TAFE NSW and Powering Skills Organisation.

This week in the UK, the energy and logistics sectors are moving forward with initiatives that aim to address the challenges of decarbonisation and the transition to net-zero emissions. Here are two key developments that are shaping the future of these sectors: 1. Logistics UK is spearheading Work Stream 1 (WS1) of the Department for Transport’s Freight Energy Forum, which is a collaborative effort between the government, industry, and senior representatives from the freight and energy sectors. The focus is on supporting the freight sector's transition to net zero by assessing the energy infrastructure required for a fair transition. This initiative is crucial for mapping out plans and understanding the current energy demand, as well as identifying the data and sources needed to inform key decisions moving forward. 2. National Grid's report highlights the need for recruiting 400,000 jobs between now and 2050 to help the UK reach its net zero emissions target. These jobs span a diverse range of skills, from engineering to data analysis, emphasising the urgent need for a skilled workforce capable of transforming the UK's energy sector. This initiative reflects the broader commitment within the UK to tackle climate change, with a focus on increasing low carbon electricity generation, developing carbon capture technology, and enhancing the infrastructure for electric vehicles. Additionally, there is a growing focus on the integration of hydrogen infrastructure at airports and the adoption of hydrogen vehicles within the logistics sector, as part of the broader effort to decarbonise transport. These developments signify the UK's proactive approach in embracing innovative technologies and sustainable practices to meet its environmental goals, providing a template for other sectors to follow in the quest for a greener future. https://lnkd.in/ep_MpgcZ https://lnkd.in/eJQsqmmC

A fantastic guide which breaks down the key elements of the energy transition and includes a deep dive into generation & storage, transmission & the future of the grid, decarbonisation & emissions regulation, and ESG and modern slavery.

How do we accelerate progress to ensure that we can meet ambitious targets for 2030 and beyond? BCG has studied the energy transition in depth to build a blueprint that outlines ways to scale new low-carbon technologies, the global implications of the shift, and critical actions that policymakers, energy users, infrastructure providers, energy producers, and investors can take to move the needle.

Today we've released 'Seizing opportunities in the energy transition', a guide for corporates to help navigate the elements of energy transition. We break down the complexities of the key areas of transition, actionable steps to take and some solutions to overcome current challenges. See below to download the guide!

Wanting to know more about the energy transition? We have published a guide that takes a deep dive into four key areas (generation and storage, transmission and future grid, decarbonisation and emissions regulation, and ESG and modern slavery), sets out actionable steps you can take, and discusses possible solutions for some of the present hurdles. Take a look here #energytransition #greenenergy #allens

Great to be involved in the preparation of our guide to seizing opportunities in the energy transition. As we note in the guide, financial institutions are increasingly rewarding decarbonisation with access both to equity and debt finance. In our view, project proponents should view decarbonisation and renewable energy solutions as potential drivers of future value, and not simply as appendages to a larger product. Always keen to talk with businesses about this trend and how it impacts them.
