The G7’s Communique does not embrace a balanced, pragmatic and responsible approach to energy policy. FutureCoal CEO Michelle Manook said the official Communique is ambiguous in its aims as “many of the G7 countries do not rely on coal for baseload electricity anymore. The ones in the G7 that continue to use coal, namely Germany and Japan, have publicly stated that they still need coal to keep the lights on.” These forums must acknowledge our Sustainable Coal Stewardship roadmap, which unveils existing abatement and commercial opportunities for the coal value chain to align with the 1.5°C goal.

Some good news on #CliamteAction, the UK has shut down their last coal power station. Generating electricity from coal is the worst way in terms of carbon emissions. That's why this is so important, especially coming from a country which development has been historically fueled by coal. #Coal #CarbonEmissions #CO2Emissions #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #sdg13 #Sustainability #Electricity https://lnkd.in/d_Ut2Q-t

As of today, the UK's energy landscape is changed forever. The last coal plant in the country ending its operations marks the end of an era and is a strong signal towards the adoption of more sustainable energy that will reduce our impact on climate change. Great to read from the article that battery technology is the big game changer that will support this energy transition. https://lnkd.in/duQpinpP BBC News Mark Poynting Miho Tanaka Justin Rowlatt Kayte O'Neill Sylwia Walus #batterymanagementsystems #BMS #energystorage #energy #BESS

Bye bye, coal!!! 👋 Next on the list... fossil fuels! As Britain bids farewell to its last coal power station, I can't help but feel a mixture of excitement and relief. With the final puff of coal smoke disappearing, the UK becomes the first G7 country to close the chapter on this era of energy. Now, it's time to keep the momentum going and fast-track the end of ALL fossil fuels. While we celebrate this milestone, we know the real work lies ahead. Renewables, reforestation (we're planting trees too 🌳😉), and nature-based solutions are the future we’re shaping—because there's no planet B! Let’s keep pushing, innovating, and protecting this planet we call home..... and join me in waving goodbye to coal! 👋 #NetZero #FossilFree #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #JUSTONETree #EndOfAnEra #UNDecadeOnEcosystemRestoration https://lnkd.in/e3Snbvyz

The European Commission is set to call for a phase-out of solid fossil fuels such as coal by 2040 in a policy paper on cutting carbon expected on 6 February, according to an unofficial draft ... #coal #phaseout #eu

A New Era for Energy in the UK! 🌍 The UK has closed its last coal-fired power plant, making history as the first G7 nation to fully eliminate coal-generated electricity. This is a massive step toward a sustainable future, with renewable energy sources leading the way. A reminder that bold commitments can drive meaningful change! #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction

Ending 142 years of reliance on coal 🙌   We fully support the UK's move to shut down its last coal power plant, a critical milestone in the transition to cleaner energy.   As energy data experts, we understand that this is more than a symbolic moment — it’s a signal of real progress towards net zero. The future of energy is data-driven, sustainable, and coal-free, and we are proud to play our part in driving this transformation forward.   Get in touch to see how TMA can support your transition to net zero - https://lnkd.in/e-T57hHa   #NetZero #CleanEnergy #UKEnergySector

Yesterday saw the closure of the UK's last coal-fired power plant, marking a definitive shift towards renewable energy. This transition is crucial for meeting the UK's net zero targets and represents a strategic move in our fight against climate change. Once pillars of our energy supply, coal plants have now been overtaken by cleaner, more sustainable technologies. Their closure is not just a technical update - it's a meaningful symbol of how far we've come on our path to a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eZ4cJDts #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #Coal 

The UK is closing the chapter on 142 years of coal-powered electricity with the shutdown of its last coal-fired power plant, Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Nottinghamshire. This milestone makes Britain the first G7 nation to entirely phase out coal power. Since 1882, coal-fired plants have consumed 4.6 billion tonnes of coal and emitted 10.4 billion tonnes of CO2, according to Carbon Brief. The UK phaseout strategy is built on four pillars: ensuring #renewable sources meet rising demand, halting new coal plant construction, accounting for externalities like air pollution, and establishing a clear phaseout timeline a decade in advance. As the UK aims to #decarbonise its power sector by 2030, long duration energy storage technologies are critical to strengthen energy security, deepen grid resilience, and ensure a reliable balance of supply and demand alongside cutting hazardous carbon and air emissions.
