"What happens with all the fossil fuel infrastructure now we are decarbonising? There must be a good idea. Is it reusable in some way?"

💲 Trillions of dollars are invested in coal power plants globally.

💣 Blowing them up is a waste.

1. Can we decarbonise, avoid stranding investments, avoid firing the local workforce and avoid abandoning the site, the permits and the equipment?

2. Can coal power plant sites continue to fill all their full current roles in the energy system without the continued burning of fossil fuels?

‍

👍 The answer to both of these questions is ‘YES!’👍

Dr. Staffan Qvist is the Founder of the Repower Initiative.
