Revolutions are messy things. Once underway, they get a life of their own. There is confusion and mistakes are made at the barricades. But once underway, they can’t be turned back; yesterday can’t be summoned rule tomorrow.

The energy transition to net zero emissions will likely take longer than planned, and the cost will be much higher than most realize.

Truck manufacturers and the freight industry would benefit from a future on-route charging and hydrogen re-fueling system on Britain's motorway (freeway) network.

Complete removal of fossil fuels from the global economy removes three quarters of global greenhouse emissions.

In 2021, GHG emissions from the power sector rose by more than 8.3%, as the economic recovery fuelled the electricity demand - it returned to its 2019 level - and as the surge in European gas prices incited power generation groups to shift from gas to coal.

The Biden administration has set a goal of a carbon-free electric sector by 2035.

The challenges are immense for the United States related to: raw material availability; manufacturing capacity; dependence on foreign supplies; worker training; global trade practices; cybersecurity; and research and data analysis needed to create the clean energy economy we need.

Norway and the European Union have reiterated their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a coordinated manner by at least 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990), with the objective to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

The main negative effect for consumers is that energy systems become less predictable and less stable as the share of RES in their structure grows bigger. Generation of power from RES depends on weather and lacks stability. For instance, this factor had a significant influence on the European energy market in 2021.

China currently implements a "dual control mechanism" under which provinces are given targets for total energy consumption and energy intensity, which is the amount of energy consumed for each unit of GDP growth.
