Emission reductions are the primary way to address climate change. But if the international community is not able to slash greenhouse gases quickly enough or if leftover emissions persist, then the climate may still need a helping hand. That is where geoengineering may eventually come into play. Potential solutions include mass tree planting, capturing carbon, making clouds and the oceans more reflective, covering deserts in white plastic and other unconventional technologies. The scope for temperature reduction is huge but so is the risk of unleashing unpredictable side-effects. Researchers have to proceed with caution in order not to fail in their well-intentioned missions or even make the climate crisis worse. Lisa J.

Farming emissions are not falling at the same rate that they are in sectors like power generation or industry. Complex factors like land-use change and livestock emissions make agriculture’s carbon footprint a difficult beast to tame. Factors like food production, geopolitics and strong cultural ties almost make an already complex decarbonisation challenge even more difficult. Carbon markets have helped bring down the emissions of power grids and manufacturing centres. In Europe, sectors like shipping, road transport and buildings are now set to get the same treatment.

Grids are a key part of Europe’s energy system but they need a massive overhaul to be ready for the growth in renewables and electricity demand expected up to 2050. Kristian Ruby joins the Policy Dispatch to look at the current situation and what is needed to make the change happen. Europe’s grids need a major revitalisation to be able to support the energy transition. As more renewables and electric vehicles are rolled out, they will need to be bigger and smarter than ever. Grid industry group Eurelectric has come out with two new reports, one on investment and supply chain needs and one on digitalisation , to look at the current state of Europe’s grids and what is needed for the energy transition to be a success. The shift comes with a big price tag – Eurelectric estimates that it needs €67 billion every year until 2050 to keep up with the doubling of electricity consumption. But that could be reduced to €55 billion a year if the rollout is done efficiently and is supported properly.

Heating soaks up a huge amount of energy demand and is responsible for an equally significant amount of carbon emissions. Technology likes heatpumps and more efficient buildings are starting to have an impact on both accounts. Bankwatch Network’s Morgan Henley, the group’s head of EU heating decarbonisation campaigning, joins the Policy Dispatch to lift the lid on district heating in Central and Eastern Europe. The region is a district heating heartland thanks to its legacy Soviet infrastructure. A lot of decarbonisation still needs to be done but it appears that it has all the tools needed to make a big dent in heating’s carbon footprint. Morgan provides plenty of insights on which countries are leading the way, what policymakers need to bear in mind and why Europe should realise that district heating is potentially an industry that it could lead the world in.

Emission pledges, new alliances, policy agreements, informal deals and various other announcements flooded the airwaves and email inboxes. Add in the emotional aspect that is now a hallmark of top level climate talks and you would be forgiven for finding the whole thing an overwhelming ordeal. That is why more than a month on from the summit, Sam is joined by Linda Kalcher, executive director of pan-European think tank Strategic Perspectives, to look back at what happened in the United Arab Emirates. Linda shares her thoughts on the big issues that were dealt with at the summit and what it all means for policymakers as 2024 gears up to be yet another defining year for the energy transition.

Methane is the greenhouse gas that often lives in the shadow of its more infamous cousin, carbon dioxide. But methane is a massive problem nonetheless due to its fast-acting impact on the climate.Global action is starting to take off and will be on the agenda at the COP28 summit. The European Union recently agreed on new rules that will aim to reduce leaks and ensure that imported fossil fuels adhere to strict standards.The Environmental Defence Fund’s senior director for the EU energy transition, Flavia Sollazzo, joins this edition of the Policy Dispatch to discuss those new rules and explain why it is essential that everybody does more to reduce methane emissions.Thanks for listening, enjoy the show!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Flavia Sollazzo: https://twitter.com/SollazzoffSam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15FORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

Policy Dispatch: The FORESIGHT podcast on the policies underpinning the energy transition
New Zealand Aotearoa is infamous for its breath-taking scenery, remote location in the Pacific Ocean, all-conquering rugby team and being the backdrop for the Lord of the Rings. 'The Land of the Long White Cloud' is, like every other country on Earth, presented with some difficult and complex energy transition hurdles that will have to be overcome.Governments have attempted to address these climate and energy issues by launching an emissions trading system, establishing carbon budgets and aiming for a completely clean power grid. This is all with a 2050 net-zero target firmly in mind.Are the policies in place enough to get New Zealand on track? Or are they insufficient to hit that mid-century benchmark? Where must the heavy lifting be done and why is climate neutrality such a difficult prospect for what is comparatively a small country? Internationally-recognised climate expert Dr Christina Hood joins Sam for this Policy Dispatch episode to explain the true scale of the job facing New Zealand.Enjoy!If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Dr Christina Hood: https://twitter.com/cjhood71Sam Morgan: https://twitter.com/SamJamesMorgan@Policy Dispatch: https://twitter.com/PolicyDispatchKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15FORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Policy Dispatch wherever you get podcasts.

Policy Dispatch: The FORESIGHT podcast on the policies underpinning the energy transition
Transport in the Balkans leaves a lot to be desired. Badly connected and lacking investment, the region sorely needs a mobility policy boost. This week, one of the top officials tasked with doing just that joins the show.In Europe’s southeast, the Balkan peninsula has a transport dilemma. Relatively short distances between cities take hours to navigate and what should be a well-connected region is anything but. Motorway expansion is the go-to government option while rail and waterways often only get the scraps. Given transport’s substantial contribution to our emissions surplus, this makes for an interesting climate policy case study. If the Balkans gets its transport act together, who knows what other green objectives the region could achieve?As six countries vie for EU membership, one international body, the Transport Community, aims to help integrate those nations into the pan-European bloc to both accelerate their membership applications and make the transition a smoother ride. That means helping governments adopt EU standards and rules so that they can tap into funding, as well as making recommendations on what kind of policies should be prioritised.This week Sam is joined by the Transport Community’s director, Matej Zakonjšek, to discuss the difficulties the region is facing, what kind of transport options the Balkans should focus on and why these EU-hopefuls could actually outstrip their northern neighbours if the right decisions are made soon.
