Cost estimate for UK's next nuclear power plant to be increased by 90%, already before start of its main construction phase. Now to €44 billion, that's €13,700 per kW, hardly lower than Hinkley Point C.

Theoretically, the paper adds a geographical dimension to the (otherwise) quite aspatial literature on transition pathways.

We analyse the feasibility of implementing CCS, including how this varies significantly across different plants. Core policy implication: investment support for CCS in waste-to-energy should not be reserved exclusively for pioneer projects, as there are limits to learning across plants.

New paper out on #CCS in waste incineration. With expected large increases in waste incineration for the coming decades, we urgently need to address emissions from #waste-to-energy plants. 🏭

Dutch government will found a state energy company to build and operate the nuclear power plants it's aiming for. The Minister: "Market parties are not willing to build and operate a nuclear power plant at own risk. Even with far-reaching state support they do not want to carry this responsibility."

As expected, producing and distributing enough low-carbon electricity is considered a key challenge. But there are also notable differences between the two countries; for example, Norwegian participants are more skeptical towards the possibility of reaching climate goals.

Do policies have a scalar orientation? Yes they do! And it matters for whether specific technologies are deemed as relevant for receiving support. We develop a novel framework depending on the focus on domestic/global challenges and whether domestic/global policy effects are prioritised

Government documents β€˜blow gaping hole’ in its case for Cumbrian coalmine Michael Gove said UK needed coal to make steel, but business department papers drafted around same time say it will not

officials predicted with β€œhigh certainty” that technology such as electric arc furnaces would lead to successful decarb of UK steel production by 2035

The Cumbria coal mine was clearly pointless

Govt by virtue-signalling. Or should that be vice-signallling?

The world has made real progress in bending down the curve of future emissions.

While we remain far from on track to meet our climate goals, the positive steps we’ve made should reinforce that progress is possible and despair is counterproductive.
