@noahqk Fully agree! However, diversifying communities can take decades. The manged transition away from coal in Germany's Ruhr area serves as case: they founded universities, innovation hubs and drew in new industries decades before the last mines were closed.

Our new open access study on the carbon footprint (CF) batteries highlights the importance if raw materials. We tend to underestimate their CF. Check it out!
A cost-based method to assess lithium-ion battery carbon footprints was developed, finding that sourcing nickel and lithium influences emissions more than production location. This aids in designing green industrial policy. @eth_epg

@StarSolarGeek @janrosenow @absmalhotra yes, belwo is the figure. and here is the (open access) paper: The lead author @absmalhotra and I also explained our framework in the podcast by @drvolts.
Today on Volts: some clean-energy technologies are on learning curves (rapidly getting cheaper) & some aren't. But...why? What is it about some techs that make them prone to rapid learning, and others not? I discuss the question with two scholars.

@iain_staffell @OliSchmidtICL Your projections don't stand the test of time: in 2024 is anyone still investing in CAES for 8h storage? No, this is all taken over by LIBs!

@Stefan_Hajek Wir arbeiten gerade an einer wissenschaftlichen Studie dazu @bessie_noll. Und ja, E-Mobilität wird sich in Afrika schneller durchsetzen als die meisten glauben. Trotz mangelhafter Strominfrastruktur etc.
