Major clean energy growth limited the rise in global emissions in 2023, says IEA

Global energy-related CO₂ emissions increased in 2023 as exceptional droughts hit hydropower. However, the rise was lower than in 2022 even as total energy demand growth accelerated, thanks to the expansion of technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, nuclear and electric vehicles (EVs), according to the latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

When will global greenhouse gas emissions peak?

A new report finds that maintaining current solar, wind and electric vehicle (EV) growth rates could lead to peak greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions this year, 2023. Meanwhile, other analysis warns that methane emissions from coal mines may be double official estimates.

EV sales headed for record year of growth

Rapidly falling battery prices, advancements in next-generation battery technology and improving economics of electric vehicles (EVs) relative to internal-combustion engine counterparts continue to underpin long-term EV growth globally, according to a new report by BloombergNEF (BNEF). But the window to reach global net zero transport ambitions is now ‘narrower than ever’.

R&D promises to improve electrolyser designs and EV battery performance

A new study of bubbles on electrode surfaces could help improve the efficiency of electrochemical processes that produce fuels such as green hydrogen as well as other chemicals and materials. Meanwhile, new cathode active materials have been developed that support higher voltages and high energy density, potentially extending electric vehicle ranges and shrinking battery packs.

Powering the future: the need for smarter grid connections for EV charging

As the UK decarbonises its transport network, it shifts the source of energy for vehicle propulsion from fossil fuel supply chains to the electricity grid. But the grid is also experiencing high levels of demand for electrified heating and, increasingly, for power for data centres. This is why we should consider stations with batteries and on-site power generation at scale for rolling out electric vehicle (EV) charging, contends Delvin Lane, Chief Executive Officer of EV charging developer InstaVolt.
