Россия выступает за консолидацию общих усилий по продвижению справедливого, равноправного и деполитизированного энергетического диалога в странах БРИКС

Since 2019 China’s energy system seems to be undergoing significant shifts.

Governments worldwide are recognising the economic and strategic benefits of controlling supply chains for low-carbon technologies. Specifically, China’s dominance in solar PV module production (almost 85% of global production as of 2023) (Statista, 2024a) and battery manufacturing (79% of global EV Li-ion batteries as of 2021) (Statista, 2024b) has spurred rival policies.

The essential role of rare earths is as a multiplier, especially in energy applications. In their absence, they move from multiplier to decelerator, especially for renewables.

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 1337 second-long plasma record came just a few weeks after China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) set a previous world record by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for 1066 seconds.

However, the country reaffirmed its commitment to a €4bn subsidy package for producers of low-carbon hydrogen (compared to H2 from fossil fuels) to support the commercialisation and industrialisation of early-stage hydrogen projects and the development of necessary regulatory frameworks and infrastructure.

Japan faces substantial challenges in managing its energy trade deficit and high end-user costs while aggressively pursuing decarbonization targets amidst geopolitical tensions. There are significant concerns about Japan's ability to meet its emissions targets, casting doubts on its broader 2050 decarbonization plans.

Целью развития энергетики Российской Федерации на период до 2050 года является достижение качественно нового состояния энергетики

China has announced the start of construction on three offshore wind projects totalling 3 GW off the coast of the Guangdong Province, southern China, namely the Fanshi-1, Qingzhou-5 and Qingzhou-7 projects.

India’s energy landscape is a study in contrasts. On one hand, the country is a global leader in renewable energy adoption, with ambitious targets for solar and wind power. On the other, coal remains the backbone of its energy mix, accounting for 55% of the national energy supply and over 74% of power generation.

In the global race to achieve net-zero emissions, India stands at the threshold of a transformative clean energy revolution. Green hydrogen, a fuel produced through water electrolysis using renewable sources, has captured attention for its immense potential to cut carbon emissions and drive economic growth.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, but its rapid adoption comes with a significant challenge: energy consumption.
