TransitionZero to partner on the Carbon Trust’s Greenprint initiative – a systems level approach to decarbonising emerging and developing economies

Stuart Mitchell

The Carbon Trust and TransitionZero have announced today they will be partnering on Greenprint, a new initiative designed to help governments in developing economies and emerging markets deliver secure, affordable, and fully decarbonised power systems by 2050.   Drawing on the Carbon Trust’s expertise in global energy sector decarbonisation and TransitionZero’s energy system modelling software and data, the pilot phase of Greenprint will set out a plan for a country to transition to clean power, while realising the strong socioeconomic benefits that come with a renewables-led energy system. The learnings…

Countries can save $3 trillion on net-zero power systems by 2040 from global grid upgrades

Stuart Mitchell

Future Energy Outlook (FEO), a highly granular energy transition planning tool, shows that investing an additional $1.7 trillion on transmission infrastructure by 2040 would collectively cut electricity decarbonisation costs by $3 trillion globally. FEO beta will be launched at COP28 by climate analytics non-profit TransitionZero. A study ‘Cables to Change the World’, which utilises the FEO platform, examined the primary risk to the global clean energy transition: the urgent need to modernise grids to access – and optimise for – low-cost renewable power. For the first time, the study quantifies…
