#Netzero

2026-03-16

2023: Got solar and home battery
2024: Replaced ICE car with electric
2025: Replaced gas boiler with heat pump
2026-: Reap the benefits
Everyone's situation is different and we are very fortunate.
What is your energy transition journey going to look like?

Concrete that stores more carbon than it emits. Holcim UK and Canary Wharf Group produced the UK's first net-zero concrete using biochar from spent coffee grounds.

Net GWP: -14 kgCO₂e/m³. These were full-scale pours on real construction sites — not lab samples.

14 billion m³ of concrete poured globally each year. Even modest biochar adoption would mean meaningful carbon removal.

I consider the balancing of economic growth and environment protection a logical fallacy. While we cannot change the laws of nature, we define the rules of our economy. Nevertheless, it is nice to see that the #NetZero costs are, compared to the alternatives, lower than many seem to suspect and may actually result in a net gain... #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction

“Not for the first time, Wales is producing energy for export but its people are yet to see the benefits – whether it’s the historical exploitation of coal or the modern equivalent of wind, solar and hydro renewable energy.”

#Netzero can not perpetuate the same extractive energy model with renewables, if it’s to succeed. Enable renewable energy communities to see significant savings. This is the social licence needed for energy’s net zero.

N.B. Power pitches a premium 'net-zero' rate while its greenhouse gas emissions surge
Information filed with the Energy and Utilities Board shows the utility burned more fossil fuels over the past 12 months than it has in over a decade.

The only way to protect ourselves from oil and gas price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets and onto clean homegrown power.

That’s the mission of this Labour Government.

Here's the real misconception: we can afford to wait.

Every year without removal = more legacy CO₂ = harder correction later.

Delaying CDR deployment doesn't protect the climate. It guarantees we'll need MORE of it, at HIGHER cost, with LESS time.

This won't be front page news, but it should be.
And we all know WHY it won't be front page news too.

⬆️ Regardless of #NetZero making economic sense, the story & actions of Net Zero still have to halt the extraction of communities resources - wealth. Historic global community wealth extraction has led to authoritarianism, plutocracy & the nature & climate crises - wars & energy spikes!

The net zero story & transition, has to be seen to ‘fairly’ rebuild community, wealth, wellbeing & resilience; & meaningful democracy, to be successful.

The global #food industry drives agricultural intensification, extracting wealth from community & country.

The energy transition is perpetuating the existing energy model, of wealth extraction, it has no social licence. Renewable communities can be the energy generators. Energy companies buy the energy & intelligently redistribute, sell it on.

The successful story of #NetZero is preventing wealth extraction & plutocracy.

Create #Energy & Food Sovereignty & #community democratic empowerment.

Really interesting interview, well worth a view.
Spoiler, the answer is no.

theguardian.com/environment/20. 2050 is too late, & is just kicking the can down the road, when we ALL need to stop extracting & burning them a lot sooner, & will pay a very high price for not doing so. We cannot depend on sinks that won't BE carbon sinks, but carbon , by 2050. We don't need , but REAL - &, more than that, not just zero annual , but NEGATIVE ones.

Headline says it all, making the UK a green, energy independent nation is cheaper than one 'oil shock'
