Decarbonising heavy industry can’t be done without large-scale CCS effort
How Shell’s new Sky scenario achieves net zero emissions
Shell’s new SKY scenario shows how to meet the goals of the Paris agreement
Paris Agreement: it’s all in the numbers
The decarbonisation will require a profound transformation, writes David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Shell. Shell’s Sky climate scenario shows it can't be done without large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS). A new initiative should boost progress on CCS. … [Read more...]
In Shell's recently published Sky climate scenario, the energy system reaches net zero emissions by 2070 using several technologies that are at an early stage. David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Shell, explains how this would work and why Shell regards this scenario as plausible. Courtesy David Hone’s Shell Climate Change blog … [Read more...]
Shell has launched a new scenario that illustrates a "technically possible but challenging pathway" for society to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The Sky outlook sees a rapid energy transition taking place over 50 years reaching net-zero emissions in the energy system by 2070. Courtesy David Hone’s Shell Climate Change blog. … [Read more...]
The Paris Climate Agreement is based on voluntary pledges (Nationally Determined Contribution, NDC), which will have to be translated into verifiable emission reduction efforts. Countries aim to agree the details of such a “Rulebook” at the upcoming climate change conference, COP24, in Poland at the end of the year. David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor, discusses what kind of quantifications we may demand from countries. He argues that unless … [Read more...]
In a timely reminder for the national negotiators at the Climate conference in Bonn (COP23), PwC recently released their annual Low Carbon Economy Index, which showed yet again that current emission reduction plans for the global economy do not match the goal of the Paris Agreement, writes David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Shell. According to Hone, the task that confronts the negotiators is to turn the Agreement into a set of effective … [Read more...]
Are solar-powered cars the future? According to David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Shell, solar augmentation, for example in the form of solar roofs, may become widespread by 2030. By 2050 a vehicle fleet requiring little to no net energy becomes a real possibility. Courtesy David Hone's Shell Climate Change blog. … [Read more...]
Shell scenarios show that the rate of electrification of the energy system needs to triple over the coming years to achieve the Paris goals. This is a much more challenging task than most people realize, writes David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor for Shell. … [Read more...]
A new book by David Hone, Chief Climate Change Adviser at Shell, takes the reader on a journey through the transition in the energy system that must be undertaken to address the climate change issue. The book, Putting the Genie Back: Solving the Climate and Energy Dilemma, deals with a wide range of topics, including carbon pricing, electric cars and solar power, and even ventures into areas such as the somewhat taboo subject of geo-engineering. … [Read more...]
CO2 emissions have stopped growing – thanks to renewable energy, some say, but according to David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor of Shell, there are other factors at play as well, such as coal-to-gas substitution and limited demand growth. … [Read more...]
The energy industry is increasingly interested in carbon capture and use (CCU) as an alternative to carbon capture and storage (CCS), writes David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor at Royal Dutch Shell. But according to Hone, these are two quite different processes, and work still needs to be done to establish the climate credentials of CCU. … [Read more...]
The Paris Agreement will lead to important changes in the way greenhouse gas emissions are accounted for and how they could be traded internationally. David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor with Royal Dutch Shell, looks at the implications of the Paris Agreement and concludes that it will probably lead to a more robust and enduring carbon market. … [Read more...]
Some argue that the world can be 100% powered by solar energy, but this is too simplistic, writes David Hone, Chief Climate Change Advisor for Royal Dutch Shell. He points out that solar PV delivers only electricity, which makes up just 20% of final energy use, and argues that other energy demands are better served by other low-carbon options, such as hydrogen and synthesis gas. A recent Shell publication indicates that 30% solar power by 2100 is … [Read more...]
