Clean energy demand doubles growth in critical minerals market

Rising demand for clean energy is driving growth in the critical minerals market. However, more work is needed to ensure diversified and sustainable mineral supplies, warns the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Asia-Pacific needs $88.7tn of funding to meet Paris Agreement climate goals

The Asia-Pacific region must mobilise nearly $90tn in investments and boost public-private cooperation to meet the ambitious climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement, according to the latest regional report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Meanwhile, new analysis from Ember suggests that while demand is outpacing renewables growth in the ASEAN member states, falling clean energy costs could help readdress the balance.

Transport’s dependence on fossil fuels holding back the energy transition

As one of the most energy intensive sectors, transport is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels, holding back the energy transition while exacerbating climate change, according to a new report by REN21. Meanwhile, a new partnership has unveiled the UK’s first EV charging station to be powered directly by on-site wind.

How Morocco is charting its energy transition journey with gas turbine technology

As well as expanding its solar and wind energy generation capacity, Morocco is also looking to gas turbines and, ultimately, hydrogen to achieve its energy transition, writes Javier Cavada, President & CEO, Europe, Middle East and Africa at Mitsubishi Power.

Down, down, down: new drilling technologies are improving prospects for geothermal power by reducing project duration, cutting costs and drilling deeper wells

Fervo Energy’s record-breaking Sugarloaf well in Utah showcases the rapid progress of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), while a new report finds the US Great Basin alone could supply 10% of the country’s electricity. Globally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects geothermal could meet 15% of future power demand if costs fall. Meanwhile, Germany and the UK are advancing supportive policies and identifying high-potential regions, signalling a global shift towards making geothermal a scalable, low-carbon energy source.

Saudi Aramco CEO calls phasing out oil and gas a ‘fantasy’

Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin H Nasser said that the current energy transition strategy is ‘visibly failing’ on a number of fronts and has called on countries to abandon the ‘fantasy’ of phasing out oil and gas. The contentious remarks from the head of the world’s largest oil producer were made in the same week as a new report from IRENA concludes that an ‘urgent global course correction’ is needed to meet the COP28 goal of tripling renewables power capacity by 2030.

Can the UK rewire its energy future?

As the UK accelerates renewable deployment, attention is shifting from climate targets to the infrastructure, investment and market reforms needed to deliver them. At the recent All-Energy conference in Glasgow, Scotland, industry leaders warned that network upgrades, supply chains and investment must keep pace with the transition if the country is to capture the benefits of growing renewable generation while shielding consumers from future energy shocks. Kristy Jooste, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute, reports.

Solar’s next challenge is breaking beyond silicon’s limits – and perovskites could be the answer

Silicon solar cells are approaching their practical efficiency ceiling just as pressure grows to generate more power from limited land, constrained grids and increasingly electrified economies. Perovskite multi-junction solar cells could help unlock the next phase of solar deployment, but commercial scalability and long-term reliability remain critical hurdles, writes Carlos David Rodriguez Gallegos, APAC Renewables Senior Engineering Project Manager at RINA.

Cleanest-ever electricity recorded in the UK

The UK’s electricity was the cleanest ever in 2024, according to a new study from Carbon Brief, with CO₂ emissions per unit falling by more than two-thirds in a decade. The phasing out of coal means the country is now getting less than half as much electricity from burning fossil fuels as a decade ago. Over the same period, renewable generation has more than doubled.
