At #LeadersClimateSummit the US reaffirmed its target for a zero-carbon power sector by 2035
In this @EmberClimate briefing, I compare the
target to official 
& 
energy scenarios
tldr: all are heading for v.low carbon power in the 2030s

Here’s a summary of how all get to zero-carbon power, according to:
-UK @theCCCuk sixth carbon budget analysis
-EU Commission impact assessment for the climate law
-US announcements (+ the 2035 report by UC Berkeley)

major declines in coal in the next decade
UK and US appear aligned in gas phase-out (without CCS) by 2035. EU lagging behind but scenarios show a reduction by 2030

Why does it all matter? Climate front-runners agree that rapidly decarbonising the power sector is crucial for #netzero. Following the success of @PastCoal alliance in driving the coal phase-out in OECD by 2030, is it time to extend a benchmark to all fossils by 2035?
