Thousands of anti-wind social media posts have been analysed, as researchers warn that Europe’s energy security could be threatened. Sweden has been hit the hardest by a coordinated attack on wind power, according to a new analysis. Last year, Sweden generated a staggering 99 per cent of its electricity from low-carbon sources, the highest of any […]
Direct air capture has been touted as ‘essential’ in meeting the EU’s climate goals – but is now really the time for investment? The argument for pumping money into direct air capture (DAC) “weakens substantially” when it comes to renewable energy, according to a new analysis. DAC technologies, which use chemical reactions to pull carbon dioxide out […]
Experts say the nation is fast becoming a renewable pioneer for the region. Türkiye is making impressive strides in its energy transition as it prepares to host the COP31 climate change conference this November. The country is now home to one of the biggest solar facilities in the world as well as one of Europe’s […]
Plug-in solar is having its moment in the spotlight. But how much power can these mini devices actually generate? Solar is becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing forms of renewable energy, cushioning Europe from the crippling costs of fossil fuel reliance. A recent analysis from SolarPower Europe found that harnessing sunlight for energy saved the […]
Europe dominated the Santa Marta fossil fuel summit. Here are the key takeaways. The current energy crisis has exposed how deeply countries remain dependent on imported fossil fuels – and the risks that come with it. Against this backdrop, 56 countries gathered in Santa Marta, Colombia, for the first international conference dedicated to mapping a […]
The world’s third-largest oil producer has the capacity to increase its output by almost 50 per cent, according to industry estimates. The United Arab Emirates’ decision to leave OPEC marks one of the most significant shifts in global energy politics in years, raising questions about oil supply, market stability and the pace of the energy […]
Data also shows that price impacts grow stronger when more renewables come online. As Europe faces an energy crisis amid volatile fossil fuel markets, investments in renewables have proved vital to shielding consumers and businesses from the worst price hikes. Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW – […]
Consumers in five EU countries will save up to €8.5 billion on their energy bills this year, compared to those with the dirtiest energy mix. EU countries with the cleanest energy mix will be cushioned from the soaring price of oil and gas, as the war on Iran continues to highlight the true cost of […]
Countries continue to turn to renewables for national security despite Trump’s attacks on wind and solar. Clean energy generation surpassed the global rise in electricity demand in 2025, pushing fossil fuel power into reverse for the first time ever, according to a new report. Record growth in solar, especially in China and India, was a driving […]
Renewables have been touted as the silver bullet to tackling climate change, but can they withstand our warming planet? The war on Iran has unexpectedly ignited a renewables race, as Europe grapples with the reality of its fossil fuel reliance.
