Mr Grossi said many countries were expanding or introducing nuclear power as part of their energy mix despite the Fukushima Daiichi accident in Japan almost a decade ago and highlighted its role in fighting climate change.

But the agency paints a deeply troubling picture for the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, with carbon pollution dipping briefly this decade, increasing in the 2030s, and falling only 4% overall by 2050,

"New targeted credit lines will support climate action by companies in Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Spain, improve access to finance by energy, tourism and education companies in Serbia, help agriculture firms in Romania to expand and encourage circular economy investment in Spain," the EIB said in a statement.

Two dominant energy industry themes—the move to cleaner energy and digitalisation—can be combined to “positively impact each other”, Shell CTO Yuri Sebregts told the annual meeting of energy technology heavyweight Baker Hughes in Florence on Tuesday.

Hydrogen as a clean fuel is back with a new mission and better ways of producing it.

Tom Greatrex, CEO of the UK Nuclear Industry Association, said in a statement that, to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and power a boom in electric vehicles and heating, the UK needed to quadruple its production of clean power.

Brazil and the USA have signed agreements on extending the operation and generating capacity of Angra unit 1 and on cooperation in new nuclear technologies.

RusHydro Group announces 4Q and FY2019 operating results

The German cabinet on Wednesday backed plans to exit coal as an energy source by 2038 at the latest as part of Berlin’s efforts on climate protection,

Wind power is one of the most important drivers of Germany’s transition to renewable energy and a related target for green energy to reach 65% of electricity production by 2030 will be missed at the current rate of turbine growth,

U.S. renewable energy consumption totaled 924 trillion British thermal units (Btu), which accounted for 12% of U.S. total primary energy consumption.

The European Commission’s “green deal” policy package, which was announced in December, will commit the European Union to achieve climate neutrality, emitting no more greenhouse gases beyond what can be absorbed, by 2050.

Australia added 6.3 GW of new renewable capacity in 2019, against 4.8 GW in 2018

Renewables only accounted for 18.2% of total energy generated by November 2019, while coal alone produced 23.4% of the country’s electricity.

global electric power generation from renewable sources will increase more than 20% throughout the projection period (2018–2050), providing almost half of the world’s electricity generation in 2050. In that same period, global coal-fired generation will decrease 13%, representing only 22% of the generation mix in 2050.
