As European power markets deepen their reliance on renewables, a new structural imbalance is emerging. While solar and wind capacity continues to surge, weakened demand and limited system flexibility are compressing capture rates and undermining standalone renewables’ profitability.
Green hydrogen is expected to play a central role in the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors, and by 2050, as much as 20% of global demand for the fuel and its derivatives could be met through international trade. That’s the key finding of a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), which outlines how emerging export hubs in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East could reshape global energy flows—if financing conditions don’t get in the way.
As financial institutions attempt to quantify the impact of climate change on global markets, two recent analyses have laid bare a profound divergence in approach. On one side is JP Morgan Chase, the world’s largest bank, which positions climate change as both a risk and a strategic investment opportunity. On the other, the UK’s Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFA) raises alarm over deep systemic vulnerabilities and the potential for severe economic disruption.

South Africa is making a calculated move to position Saldanha Bay on the West Coast as a key hydrogen hub. Central to this effort is the development of the West Coast Green Hydrogen Master Plan, now formally underway with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) appointed to coordinate its first phase.
With Europe aiming to triple geothermal energy deployment by 2030, the Geological Surveys of Europe (EuroGeoSurveys) has issued a clear message: the region’s geothermal ambitions are constrained not by technology or policy gaps, but by inadequate access to geoscientific data.
As the world approaches a critical five-year window to halve global emissions, a new systematic review from the International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) reveals that climate misinformation is not just undermining public trust—it is actively delaying policy action and enabling continued fossil fuel expansion.
On January 1, 2025, China reclassified hydrogen as a core energy resource, rather than a hazardous chemical. This change is…
