  • Опубликовано: 4 фев 2023
  • Robert’s podcast guest this week is Ketan Joshi, an Australian Clean Energy researcher & author, currently based in Oslo, Norway.
    Ketan’s work is focussed on Corporate Net Zero targets and delving deeper into their emissions claims to investigate if they really do stack up.
    Covering topics like Carbon Capture & Storage, Carbon Off-setting, how large-scale Manufacturing is delaying the transition to electric by off-setting carbon and not cleaning their act up, and why Australia’s new Government EV policy projections are actually moving backwards!
    Ketan takes Robert through this shrouded world of creative accounting, and we get to hear how the numbers get fudged, the targets get missed, and the fossil fuels just keep getting burned!!
    Want to find to learn more about Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS)?
    We have a fantastic episode all about it: • Can Carbon Capture Fix...

    As a fellow Brit, could you please do a video looking at what home kits are available to allow people to potentially go off grid for power, using solar panels & batteries? Two bit d's Vinci just did a video looking at Ecoflow, & I found they have a UK division, with products like "EcoFlow DELTA Pro + 400W Rigid Solar Panel" designed for people to setup themselves; they can put the panels anywhere, even just on the floor. I think a video looking at DIY kits like this, when having "professionals" do it costs a fortune, would be VERY useful for your viewer's. If you included UK available suppliers focus, as there's no-one really doing that, it would be especially appreciated!

    Good point on it being more likely in Australia to talk about ‘go for an electric vehicle’ rather than ‘go for a _small_ electric vehicle’ although on a slightly more positive note even for Australians American ‘utes’ are _too big_ . There is a podcast where one of the presenters test drove an American ute and in America in big open places built for it it made sense, but he was joking about spending half an hour just trying to find a place to park the damn thing near his house in a city suburb.
    Also came back from shopping in my country town once to what I think was an American ute that was taking up two parking spaces and you just sort of look at it and go _how_ / ‘why on earth would you do this to yourself?’ . I can’t imagine trying to park that thing all the time.
    Also that time I came back to find a Mini parked right next to my car and I was just utterly floored at how big the damn thing was, there was nothing ‘mini’ about it.

    We've been personally paying to offset double our estimated family emissions for 4 years.
    We're already vegetarian, pay for "Green" energy, only have an electric car and we take almost no flights.
    I will continue doing so, but this has made me a little nervous about it, I do look at how they do this for us.
    We have 1488 trees planted for us apparently and have removed over 100 tonnes of CO2.

  • @stephen7630
    @stephen7630 Год назад +2

    It was ironic having an episode in Australia about how offsets aren't effective and then also commenting how many roofs in Australia have solar. I wonder if they realise that most Australians who have solar got it at the price they did because they surrendered SCTs. What's an SCT? It's a carbon offset scheme. Depending on when or where you build you get about 20% off the non offset price.
    I agree offsets often don't work for the reasons described, but the Australian rooftop solar success has been largely based on offsets.

      When I hear in the street: “yeah, EVs are too expensive, they can’t take me far enough, my diesel/petrol car works fine for now, I’ll continue to “pollute a bit longer😁””, then you know that it is hard to get people to switch. But I don’t give up. I talk and demonstrate to anyone all the time about climate change, my EV, energy efficiency, renewable energies. I think the more people realise how the clean energy revolution works just fine and is great, the more people will embrace it. But the price is the argument that you cannot fight against easily. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I feel that politicians have failed us again. Off-setting emissions is not necessarily a bad concept for industries that can’t do otherwise. But it should be enshrined in law that off-setting can only be done via tree planting (one of the cheapest and most efficient carbon capture technology available). The trees planted should be assigned once and for all to that company wishing to off-set, should not be transferable and should be monitored in time to check that the off-setting plan is met over time. With obviously a requirement to plant more trees to replace those that end up dead for whatever reason.

    Just yesterday, Honda said that they were "doubling down" on hydrogen cars. Not trucks, cars. As if it worked so well for Toyota. Is
    it just me, or are the vehicle manufacturers in Japan ignoring electric vehicles on purpose? There are a few, the Honda "E", for example, but they are tiny and expensive. I guess the companies can say, "Hey, we tried, but not many WANTED to buy our electric car".

    When you change the colour of the chooks in the cookhouse, it's still the same operation run by the same foxes, or feral law dogs as before. A steady state cynic is well justified.
    Supposing all the access to answers is, as Einstein said, "Simpler than you think, and the materials you need to find them are at hand", (approx equivalent), the current attribution for elemental creation of the Universe to an unseen Authority, an Origin of empirical shaping laws, is true enough in that the knowledge of what, how and why things happen as they do is subject to analysis and discovery of Euler's Elemental Fusion Function continuous containment creation. Holography is inside-outside Singularity-point positioning by the concept of frequency reciprocal connection, simple resonance bonding of potential positioning. Math-Physics is the trick of making the invisible potential visible and useful, kind of magical thinking in Actuality, and as upsetting to practising Physicists as CCS is to almost everyone who has an effective thinkum.

    Climeworks are removing a few 1000 tons per year. This model is not going to make any significant difference to CO2 in the atmosphere.
    The one area where we can actually get to negative emissions in the tens of GT per year is natural carbon sequestration on rewilded land.
    This is where the numbers on emissions from agriculture, especially animal agriculture, are nearly always misrepresented.
    Animal ag causes about 15% of direct carbon emissions. However that is only one small part of the picture. If we weren't doing animal ag at all and everyone was getting their nutrition from plants, we would no longer need 3 billion hectares of the land we currently farm (both arable land and pasture). Rewilding that land would draw down 26GT of carbon per year for 30 years.
    That represents 65% of current annual emissions. So the total net saving of emissions would be 80%.
    This is why dietary change to nearly completely plant based diets is such a big deal. It is the only tool in the toolbox for actually pulling down the large amounts of CO2 in that atmosphere that we now need to to avoid catastrophic global heating.

    ‘Made with renewable energy’ might be an easier way of actually having something measurable and able to be held to account than carbon credits or carbon capture. Granted it isn’t perfect either because say a company could actually be making their products with non-renewables but just be buying renewable energy somewhere else when I really would like metal for example to be directly made with renewables, or electric planes rather than offset ICE planes, but if there was also official labels that could show ‘directly made and/or powered via renewable energy’ vs ‘indirectly powered and/or made by renewables’ so there is transparency to customers and there can still be that push and incentive for continuous improvement and reason to invest in said improvements rather than say metal made with renewable energy offsetts being rated at the same level as metal made with renewable energy directly…. or at least they aren’t burning fuel on site and if they are using power from the grid it’s from a renewable company.
    Australia now has a bar that shows how much percent it’s made in Australia, maybe have that with products made with renewable energy was it mostly made with renewables or just the dreaded 10% so they can say ‘partly made in’ without having to push for anything more.
    Also there is the whole product ingredients thing… really don’t like how ‘Vegan’ is the new code word for ‘it’s plastic sold as a luxury product even though it’s cheaper and easier for us to make, oh and it may not last as long or be as nice to work with but it’s Vegan so therefore it’s Good and Green (because Vegan and Environmentalism go hand in hand right?) and all those lovely things so you can’t get mad at us about it!’ Ugh.
