No need for countries to issue new #oil, #gas or #coal licences, study finds https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/30/no-need-for-countries-to-issue-new-oil-gas-or-coal-licences-study-finds?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other “The world has enough #FossilFuel projects planned to meet global energy demand forecasts to 2050 and governments should stop issuing new oil, gas and coal licences, according to a large study aimed at political leaders.

If governments deliver the changes promised in order to keep the world from breaching its #ClimateTargets no new fossil fuel projects will be needed,”

"Coal seam fires, which can smolder underground for years before coming to the surface, pose a threat to firefighters due to the noxious gases they emit and the potential for burned ground below them to collapse. They are virtually impossible to extinguish and carry over from year-to-year smoldering under the snow cover. "

#ExtremeHeat is common in May. But not in April and March, both of which were the hottest across much of India for more than a century.

In the short term, experts say #India has no choice but to burn #coal to keep #fans and #ACs on. But in the long term, it must transition to #Renewables, to avoid a vicious circle of warming. #BurningPlanet #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

Tokyo stands alone in the Group of Seven. Far from shutting down polluting fuel plants, it’s opening them. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/02/japan/japan-coal-power/

#CarbonMadness in #Japan. After succumbing to #NuclearMadness and having that go tits up, they are doubling down on #coal with zero investment in #RenewableEnergy. JAP has #LostThePlot on both #Energy and #Transportation now. @thejapantimes

Bioenergy that depends on logging native forests is problematic

"We do not want to be cutting down native forests. Even using native forestry “residues” (by-products like bark and ends of trees that can’t be directly used) is problematic. The residues are made regardless of the bioenergy project, but tethering a power station to the native forestry industry, and creating a reliance on it continuing, is contentious. Some states have already flagged the end of native logging."

"#India is on track to meet its pledge to reach 50% clean power capacity by 2030, but for the foreseeable future, most of its total electricity will come from burning #coal. A more rapid transition away from coal would help India meet its climate goals and also vastly improve public health.

India needs $10 trillion to reach net-zero by 2070."
(That's over $200bn a year, or 7% of India's current GDP: $3.4 tn.)
