Further evidence published of Chinese dominance in global wind power markets, driven by domestic demand which remains patchy

Global wind turbine installations hit a record high in 2024, driven by rapid growth in mainland China. China is also dominating global wind turbine manufacturing, according to reports from BloombergNEF (BNEF) and Wood Mackenzie. Meanwhile, analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) reveals a north-south divide in China’s clean energy progress.

Fossil fuels to continue; cleaner energy later – Energy Barometer 2025: Insights from ASEAN’s energy workforce

This year, the Energy Institute’s Energy Barometer draws on the insights from a regional energy workforce that reflects a local transition that is ambitious yet pragmatic: one that recognises the realistic role fossil fuels will continue to play, looks ahead to emerging clean energy technologies, and underscores the need for deeper regional cooperation, stronger policy frameworks and an energy transition that benefits all communities, writes Energy Institute Senior Analyst Kinga Niemczyk AMEI.

The new energy trilemma – regional implications for the development of future industry and trade strategy

For decades, energy policy has been framed around a simple but powerful idea: the ‘energy trilemma’, first coined by the World Energy Council over 20 years ago and defined simply as balancing security, affordability and sustainability. But today, energy systems now sit at the centre of a far more complex strategic landscape shaped by geopolitical rivalry, supply chain fragility, technological competition and accelerating climate pressures. In this environment, energy has become a central pillar of national security and industrial competitiveness. This shift is now reshaping industrial strategy, global trade patterns and the geography of economic development, writes Peter Godfrey FEI, Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director, and Founder & CEO of CarbonSync Technologies (Singapore).

Ten years on from the Paris Agreement – a decade that defied predictions

The world is in a much better place to beat climate change than it was – the energy transition has begun in earnest. But now this must be accelerated to deliver sustained decline in global emissions, argues the UK-based Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit’s John Lang.

Beyond targets: why the UK energy transition needs a new story

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, we’re launching into an equally red-hot topic: how to rebuild support for climate action when the political consensus is fracturing, argues Christopher Hammond, UK100 Chief Executive.

Investing in today’s energy system AND – not OR – the transition

BP CEO Bernard Looney’s attendance at International Energy Week 2023 attracted attention from climate activists on the first day of the conference. Nevertheless, he delivered a robust speech and explained why the company believes it needs to continue to invest in both oil and gas and ‘transition growth engines’ as part of an ‘orderly transition’. Here follows a transcript.

Time flies: from coal scuttles to AI

By coincidence I happen to be about the same age as the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy, which celebrates its 75th edition this year. What’s more, I have spent the majority of my career as a journalist covering energy. Here I tell my story, which also touches on bigger energy themes, writes former New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis.
