Global wind power could rise ten-fold reaching over 6000 GW by 2050. By midcentury, wind could cover one third of global power needs and – combined with electrification – deliver a quarter of the energy-related carbon emission reductions needed to meet the Paris climate targets. To reach this objective, onshore and offshore wind capacity will need to increase four-fold and ten-fold respectively every year compared to today.

As the IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera said recently at the International Energy Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: “It is perfectly possible to generate sufficient cheap, reliable energy from renewable sources. Not only is it possible, but it is also our best option, as it would bring higher socio-economic benefits than business as usual, and it would allow us to effectively address climate change.”

Colombia has awarded contracts for wind and solar projects worth about $2.2 billion, the government said on Tuesday, as part of its efforts to boost renewable energy generation in the Andean country.

Благодаря отечественной разработке гетероструктурной технологии, КПД которой в ячейках превысил 23%, Россия вошла в топ‑3 мировых производителей солнечных модулей по эффективности.

“I’m worried about the decline of nuclear in the energy mix if governments don’t change their policies,” Birol said referring to new capacity and lifespan extensions.

“Cегодня возникает много рассуждений, касающихся того, нужно ли развивать чистую энергетику, переходить на ВИЭ. Что касается углеводородной энергетики, то все эксперты считают, что как минимум следующие 20 лет углеводородная энергетика продолжит занимать лидирующие позиции в мировом энергопотреблении. При этом доля газа будет расти. Но быстрее всего будет увеличиваться потребление электроэнергии - в течение следующих 20 лет оно вырастет на 70-100%”, - рассказал Министр.

UAE is the leading Arab investor in the US, while noting that the value of the non-oil trade doubled over the past decade, reaching some AED90 billion (US$24.5 billion) in 2018, and explaining that the UAE trades with almost all US states, especially Washington, California, Texas, Florida and New York.

В целом, по мнению Александра Новака, совокупность всех позитивных и негативных для рынка факторов приведет к тому, что в среднесрочной перспективе цены на нефть будут держаться в районе $50.

Enel Finance International N.V. (“EFI”), the Dutch-registered finance subsidiary of Enel SpA (“Enel”[1]), today launched a multi-tranche “sustainable” bond for institutional investors on the European market totalling 2.5 billion euros. The bond is linked to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is the Group’s first “General Purpose SDG Linked Bond” issued on the European market.

"Developed countries have witnessed sluggish growth of nuclear power - except for six units in Finland, France, the US and the UK, no other nuclear power plant had been built in North America and the EU area for about 30 years. Over the same period however about 100 units were built in developing and emerging economies."

EIA forecasts Brent spot prices will average $59/b in the fourth quarter of 2019 and then fall to $57/b by the second quarter of 2020,

Global efforts to tackle climate change are futile as long as opposition to nuclear power persists, delegates heard at the opening session of the International Atomic Energy Agency's International Conference on Climate Change and the Role of Nuclear Power. It is the Vienna-based agency's first conference on this topic.

"Greater magnitudes of uncertainty lead to volatility," he said, "and for a capital-intensive sector like ours, this means less investment and more risk to security of supply. This is especially true in power markets that are open to competition: their market design must be adaptive, and long-term contracts used for all types of generation."

As much as $71 billion of Japanese coal assets could be at risk as the economic viability of plants is undermined by cheaper renewable energy, research by the University of Tokyo, Carbon Tracker and the Carbon Disclosure Project showed on Sunday.

A contract for Tokamak machine assembly for the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation signed by a consortium led by China Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (CNPE) is the biggest nuclear energy project contract that Chinese companies have ever bid for in the European market.
