The Spanish energy group Iberdrola has reached an agreement with the Philippine wind developer Triconti ECC Renewables and Switzerland's Stream Invest Holding to develop five offshore wind projects in the Philippines with a total capacity of 3.5 GW.

The EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a report on Monday that the last seven years were the world's warmest "by a clear margin" in records dating back to 1850 and the average global temperature in 2021 was 1.1-1.2C above 1850-1900 levels.

"it is necessary to recognise that the fossil gas and nuclear energy sectors can contribute to the decarbonisation of the Union's economy."

Instead, the West – or at least the liberal West – has adopted the fantasy of 100% renewable energy within decades, in which both nuclear power and fossil fuels are eliminated.

Renewable generation could not replace conventional fossil and nuclear generation when there was low/no wind and solar.

there is no science-based evidence that nuclear energy does more harm to human health or to the environment than other electricity production technologies already included in the EU Taxonomy as activities supporting climate change mitigation “.

The $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed by President Biden last month contains more than $80 billion to advance the clean energy transition and fight climate change.

The CEEAG also feature dedicated sections for aid incentivising investments in flagship areas such as energy performance of buildings, and clean mobility, covering all transport modes.

Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) have decided to invest US$3.6bn to decarbonise ADNOC's offshore production operations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

CO2 emissions from power generation thus rose by 13% in 2021, though remaining within the path of the Climate Protection Act.
