A couple interesting snippets,
Cook says it won't be a linear progression, and expects a lot of the reductions to come into place towards the back end of the 2030 time period
Gas, renewable hydrogen, and critical minerals is Reece Whitby's list of highest impact areas WA can contribute to in the global energy transition.
A question: Is there a plan to increase offsets for the use of gas as the 'transition' fuel? Here and with the exportee countries (who i believe are mostly Japan and Korea?). If so, what are those plans?
How convenient that the changes are far off, when current politicians will be long retired.
We would obviously emit a lot less with a linear trend to net zero than with if we keep doing the same thing and then have a very sharp decline at the end.
I had the same thought about the timing.
The counterpoint i had, though, is when you look at what is being focussed on, its not small commodified replacements, such as rollout of rooftop solar, or electric cars where each new unit adds to a growing fleet of climate change addressing products, and thus can look Linear, or probably more likely exponential, in nature. The projects being focussed on seem to be larger, discrete projects, where once switched on will produce a more vertical kind of jump. I have in my mind for instance green hydrogen plants.
Note: I am not advocating the methods, i'm just trying to understand what the plans might look like.
