Michael Barnard spends his time projecting scenarios for decarbonization 80 years into the future, and assisting his clients — executives, Boards and investors on several continents — to pick wisely today. Whether it's refueling aviation, grid storage, industrial heat, biofuels, iron and steel, vehicle-to-grid, or hydrogen demand, his work is based on the fundamentals of physics, economics and human nature, and informed by the decarbonization requirements and innovations of multiple domains. His previous leadership positions in North America, Asia and Latin America enhanced his global point of view. His work appears regularly in non-fiction works and textbooks as well as several publications including Forbes. He speaks frequently at conferences and events around the world.
Political parties have a bunch of problems, and climate change is definitely one of them. Climate impacts are rising, not falling. Carbon emissions aren’t being cut back enough. It takes time and money to fix things that spew greenhouse gasses and fix homes and buildings that are in the way of climate impacts like flooding.
Hydrogen for energy and carbon capture funding are mostly fossil fuel industry subsidies in disguise, so make sure any money spent in that space does just enhance industry profits.. The world already has discovered and operational reserves of coal, oil and gas sufficient to put us well over 3° Celsius of warming. Some of the subsidies mentioned above are tax breaks for exploration. No exploration, no tax breaks and no subsidies.
Eliminating sub-national barriers to electricity transmission is something most national governments can do. In the USA, HVDC lines from wind farms on the Great Plains to the major population centers on the east and west coasts were blocked because state regulations required transmission to be built by utilities which sold electricity inside the state. The amount of effort and time to get and HVDC line built from Canada’s hydro to New York’s demand had to overcome similar challenges.
There’s a lot of unnecessary paperwork in the way of onshore wind, solar and storage projects. Closed-loop, off-river pumped hydro has huge storage capacities with small, low-impact reservoirs. Anywhere you have hills over a couple of hundred meters high is a candidate for it, and the water just gets reused.Most countries have regulations for electricity that are very local.
