HUGE STORY BROKEN BY ⁦@guardian⁩!! Did you know fossil fuel executives could have office space on elite university campuses??? This is why we need #FossilFreeResearch now!!! https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/mar/27/fossil-fuel-firms-us-universities-colonize-academia

It's so frustrating that fossil fuel money is in so much of our politics, research, and industry. There are some major heavy-hitters on this list.

We co-wrote an OpEd in the #Danish newspaper Information, together with @nikolineborgermann, Lukas Kluge and Laura Horn. In it, we highligh the ties between the Danish Technical #University and the #FossilFuel industry:

In a #ClimateCrisis, supporting #research programs for optimizing oil and gas extraction is madness. The DTU #Offshore Center (whose steering committee is occupied by #TotalEnergies) hosts not 1, but 7 such programs.

Our OpEd in the newspaper Information today, highlighting the ties between the #Danish Techincal University and the #FossilFuel industry:

"The DTU Offshore Centre has 10 programmes, 7 of which focus on optimising the extraction of gas and oil. Half of their steering committee is occupied by #Total. As partner of #TotalEnergies and #Noreco, they play a role in #greenwashing of the #oil and #gas industry."

Today, @SciRebDenmark and #DTUdivest built a "pipeline" in the lawn of @DTUtweet, demanding it cut its billion-kroner ties with climate-wreckers like #TotalEnergies: one of the top 20 CO2 emitters on the planet. We demand #FossilFreeResearch in Danish academia. #greenwashing

Today, @ScientistRebellion partnered with DTU #divest to build a "pipeline" in the central lawn of the Danish Technical University, demanding it cut its ties with the fossil fuel industry. Via billion-kroner partnerships with #TotalEnergies and #Noreco, #DTU plays a crucial role in both #greenwashing fossil fuels in academia and in increasing their extraction with ever more destructive technologies. #ClimateJustice

Last week a paper was published in Nature Climate Change that concluded that university energy research centres funded by oil and gas produce reports that are more favourable to polluting energy.

In some ways this might seem obvious, but these centres usually pride themselves on objective presentation of the facts.

It makes me wonder how this has affected research and communication Monash University. That university claims they are helping their major sponsor Woodside transition to low-carbon through their Monash-Woodside Energy Partnership. I believe many people involved in the partnership at Monash were well-intentioned, but since it began Woodside has doubled down on new gas projects and generally show they don't give a shit about a liveable planet.

Monash continues to back the partnership and even say it's part of their sustainability leadership. The cognitive dissonance must be hard to bear.

New research from @nature: "Fossil-funded centres are more favourable in their reports towards natural gas than towards #renewable energy" That sounds exactly like the #danish fossil-funded DTU #Offshore Centre! #FossilFreeResearch #KeepItInTheGround #ClimateJustice #UniteAgainstClimateFailure #Denmark #dkpol https://nature.com/articles/s41558-022-01521-3

RT @FosFreeResearch: Students agree: it's well past time for @Cambridge_Uni to end its toxic love affair with BP & other oil/gas giants and protect the integrity of climate research, our planet, and our futures. 👏
