U.S. residential electricity bills have been on an upward trajectory for years. According to federal energy statistics, the average retail price of electricity for residential customers in 2024 hovered around 15 cents per kilowatt-hour, up materially from a decade earlier.
Renewables are now the cheapest source of new electricity generation in most regions, yet power systems continue to struggle with reliability, access, and equity. That gap between falling technology costs and uneven system performance is the central tension addressed in IRENA’s latest Innovation Landscape report, released during a ministerial dialogue on artificial intelligence at the agency’s annual Assembly.
Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions fell to 640 million tonnes in 2025, a 1.5 percent year-on-year decline that places the country 49 percent below its 1990 baseline. On paper, the national target under the Climate Change Act was met. In practice, the slowdown in emission reductions compared with 2024 signals a more fragile trajectory, driven less by structural decarbonization and more by weak industrial output and favorable solar conditions, according to Agora Energiewende’s annual review of Germany’s energy year.
Global low-carbon hydrogen demand is projected to surge from roughly 1 million tonnes per annum today to nearly 200 million tonnes by 2050, according to Wood Mackenzie, intensifying the search for alternative production pathways.
Green hydrogen economics remain constrained by energy intensity. Conventional solar driven electrolysis requires significant electrical input to split water, with the oxygen evolution reaction accounting for a large share of the thermodynamic and kinetic losses.
From subsurface hydrogen disputes and aviation feasibility to the raw material limits of Net Zero, Best of Face to Face 2025 captures the most consequential debates EnergyNews.biz hosted this year.
