Renewable hydrogen is also part of a broader plan and series of directives aiming at increasing the share of renewable energies in EU’s energy consumption.

Our projections indicate significant uncertainty in societal cost estimates for 2050, ranging from approximately €236/tCO₂ to €3,938/tCO₂. Consequently, direct comparisons with marginal abatement costs become difficult; for instance, even the relatively lower MAC of €1,944/tCO₂e in the “Linear Path to Net Zero” scenario aligns with societal costs only under particular discount rates and growth assumptions.

Gas plays a crucial role in the energy transition by replacing higher-carbon energy sources and as a partner to renewable energy.

The 2024-2025 storm season has underscored the vulnerability of the U.S. electrical grid, with a series of extreme weather events causing widespread power outages and significant economic losses.

The Trump administration has argued coal is a vital part of the mix to ensure sufficient energy supply to meet booming demand for AI data centers. The carve-out, which begins in July 2027, lasts until July 2029, according to the proclamation.

This comes at a precarious moment for Americans. Last year registered as the hottest in recorded history, breaching the 1.5 degree Celsius globally-agreed-upon safety threshold for warming above pre-industrial temperatures.

India is forging ahead with its ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as reaffirmed by industry leaders at the recently concluded India Energy Week 2025.

The electric industry today is facing unique and unprecedented challenges. A changing generation mix, more frequent “100-year” storms, and tremendous load growth are all changing the way utilities need to plan the electric system.

The energy and utilities sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the need for greater efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in response to evolving consumer demands and global climate objectives.

The incoming Trump Administration is not supportive of the UN climate objectives. It has several climate and energy policy revision priorities it intends to pursue rapidly and aggressively.
