Under the researchers’ best policy scenario, water consumption could be reduced by 75.1% by 2030, compared to 2015 levels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3608fe7106996f7ceb1088/1582832982994-OHTRM48MY26SNA7MNLM6/image-asset.jpeg News & Research - The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate IPCC, September 2019 This Summary for Policymakers was formally approved at the Second Joint Session of Working Groups I and II of the IPCC and accepted by the 51th Session of the IPCC, Principality of Monaco, 24th September 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3608fe7106996f7ceb1088/1568974446709-UO9G3QN64ASI9X9UAK31/trillion.png News & Research - The trillion dollar energy windfall Carbon Tracker, September 2019 Falling renewable costs and intermittency solutions drive a tipping point for the Inevitable Policy Response.

This means, in other words, there will be no land area available for substantial additional biofuels, not for bioenergy CCS and mankind has seriously to re-think the setup of the agricultural industry, with many implications for energy. Highly efficient land-use is mandatory to maintain the natural recovery ability of our planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3608fe7106996f7ceb1088/1566389485355-CM8P4FMD6HQSVOOQQ1PN/nature.png News & Research - Solar PV Power Potential is Greatest Over Croplands Nature, August 2019 This reports suggest the dawn of a new business model (and a new co-mingled asset class) – the agrivolataic system – as a research team at Oregon State University has found the greatest solar PV efficiency in panels co-located with crops. It more than blows away the incumbency argument, that we get all the time, that “solar needs too much valuable farm land.” Indeed, as the authors calculate, “global energy demand would be offset by solar production if even <1% of cropland were converted to an agrivoltaic system.” Puts the recent IPCC report (August 2019) into context! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3608fe7106996f7ceb1088/1566389044971-924SAJUMA9K3CX80JK6E/jleggett.png News & Research - Groundbreaking report out on huge capital efficiency advantage of solar and wind Jeremy Leggett, August 2019 In this potentially game-changing report, BNP Paribas introduces the concept of Energy Return on Capital Invested.
