Global primary energy intensity, the key metric for measuring improvements in energy efficiency, is projected to rise by 1.8% in 2025, according to the IEA’s latest Energy Efficiency 2025 report, an improvement from 1% in 2024 but still far below the 4% annual increase agreed at COP28 for 2030.

Six weeks before the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism transitions from reporting to payment phase, major European multinationals remain unprepared…

Electricity is fast becoming the world’s defining energy currency. According to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2025, global…

The European Union’s Council reached agreement on a binding 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2040 compared to…

Europe’s transport decarbonization strategy has entered a new phase. The European Commission has unveiled its Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), outlining a unified framework to channel capital toward renewable and low-carbon fuels for aviation and waterborne transport, sectors responsible for nearly 8% of EU greenhouse gas emissions and among the hardest to decarbonize.

In today’s energy debates, certain assertions tend to echo most strongly—not because they’re accurate, but because they’re repeated.

Steel exporters to the European Union face a stark reality when the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism begins charging fees on…

As Europe prepares to unveil its Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP), a coalition of leading clean transport innovators is urging the EU to prioritize zero-carbon technologies in shipping and aviation—two of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize.

The fossil fuel industry’s communication strategy has undergone multiple iterations over three decades, moving from outright denial of climate science to promoting the premise that oil and gas extraction can coexist with climate stabilization efforts—a shift that former ExxonMobil climate scientist Lindsey Gulden characterizes as the sector’s “last narrative” after previous approaches lost credibility.

Clean energy investment now outpaces fossil fuel funding at a 2:1 ratio globally—€2 trillion versus €1 trillion in 2024—marking a…
