Global Inflation 2022: The Culprit – Fossil Fuel Prices
Aside from taking a toll on the climate and the environment, fossil fuels are also bearing massive financial and economic risks, including stranded infrastructure, cascading inflation and unstable energy supplies.
Climate Action 100+ Net-Zero Company Benchmark: Sufficient Progress But a Lack of Real Action
While companies have shown significant progress in terms of net-zero commitments, experts say they still fall short of achieving actual results.
G20 Nations Are Committing Billions More to Fossil Fuels – Price of Oil Report
The deadline for the end of global public fossil fuel financing is quickly approaching. Yet, many G20 countries and leading MDBs and DFIs continue pouring billions into coal, oil and gas, widely ignoring renewables. The COP27 and G20 meetings will give financiers a stage to explain why.
The Pros and Cons of Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fuel cell technology is slowly improving, and many climate experts predict it will have a critical role to play in the global energy transition. This comes at a time when the pros of green hydrogen are starting to outweigh the cons, and several industries see hydrogen fuel cells as a viable way to decarbonise. As more investment flows into production and governments provide incentives, green hydrogen production costs will continue to fall.
Electricity Price Hikes in the Philippines
The filed petition for a temporary adjustment to the 2019 power supply agreements by SMC and Meralco and its rejection by the regulator are yet more indications of the importance of proper risk management and the drawbacks of relying on fossil fuels in a net-zero-chasing world.
Is Hydrogen Renewable?
Hydrogen is an energy-dense fuel that will play an essential role in the world's future energy mix. However, not all hydrogen is created equal, and as of 2022, most of the hydrogen produced is not made using renewable energy. The world needs further investment into green hydrogen technologies to drive down production costs, making large-scale adoption feasible.
Using Transition Bonds For Ammonia and Blue Hydrogen Projects: The Risks For Investors and the Issuing Companies
Using transition bonds to fund blue hydrogen and ammonia projects risks extending the climate crisis. But, more importantly, it tarnishes the idea of climate financing at a time when it is needed the most.
Is Natural Gas Renewable?
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that has been created in the Earth's crust over millions of years. It is cleaner than coal and oil but primarily consists of methane, which is a greenhouse gas far more potent for global warming than carbon dioxide. Investing in natural gas is not a viable long-term alternative to other fossil fuels. Yet, it can act as a "transition" fuel to bridge the energy gap to renewables in the short term.
Worst Companies for the Environment: Holding the Renewable Energy Transition Back
The companies with the most extensive resources are often the biggest climate laggards. Realising the difference they can make and starting to support the global clean energy transition would be massively beneficial for their own good and the future of everyone else.
Breakthrough Agenda Report Signals Risks to Clean Technology
The first annual Breakthrough Agenda Report indicates that the current progress towards the agenda's goals is lacking. Each of the five main emitting sectors has significant progress to make, particularly in the adoption of clean energy technologies. Hopefully, the report will be a wake-up call to world leaders and will facilitate meaningful climate adaptation discussions at COP27.
San Miguel Corporation’s LNG Projects and their Implications for the Company and the Philippines
Natural gas has successively been shown to oppose the goals of solving the energy crisis. It causes environmental issues and won't help the Philippines decarbonise. Gas is now an impractical choice for the San Miguel Corporation, the regions biggest LNG developer.
Is Carbon Capture Viable? New IEEFA Report Says No
Carbon capture is one of the most controversial low-carbon technologies discussed today. Proponents see it as a way of reducing emissions from fossil fuel heavy industries, yet opponents view it as a way of avoiding the adoption of renewables.
Samsung Joins RE100: The Effect on South Korea’s Clean Energy Progress
Korean RE100 members have to take leadership by pushing policy-makers to expand renewable energy supply and lower prices. Samsung's involvement can be the decisive factor that urges the Korean leadership to make a change.
Green Bonds: Sustainable Financing Tools or a Greenwashing Weapon?
In a bid to reduce greenwashing possibilities, the EU now requires increased transparency and strict reporting for sustainable bonds. However, the rest of the world is still dragging its feet, leaving the door open for greenwashing on both state and corporate levels.
