In some absurdly good news which I cannot even fathom, we at Rux Energy have won the CMA CGM Startup Award 2025 for Safe Transportation of Dangerous Goods for our hydrogen storage solution. I am fortunate to have such a strong team, with my UK director Charles delivering the final round pitch.

How to Measure Climate Progress
Yes, it's about CO₂, CH₄, W/m², and every ±0.1°C.
But yes, moving off oil, coal, and gas is about improving economic competitiveness and human prosperity for decades to come.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

I think IEA gets a lot right here except the long term outlook.

The IEA has brought back the Current Policies Scenario (CPS) in the World Energy Outlook (WEO).
I think this will be useful. Fossil CO2 emissions keep rising, when they should be falling. It is time to admit that. So I hope the CPS can help address this issue.

I remember, when in the dead of night, on 19th Dec 2009, Obama left the COP15 climate talks in Copenhagen, in part bc the Affordable Care Act needed his physical presence to pass. We, the World, paid the price with a failed Copenhagen Accord. This collective sacrifice... now thrown down the drain.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wasn’t one of the eight Democratic senators who voted to back GOP legislation to end the government shutdown. He is still taking most of the blame.

The Prize was there too for Australia and other countries too, but the policy and government funding support to pour rocket fuel on the ecosystem means that future is slipping through our fingers.
