The New Joule Order, a report this week by the Carlyle Group, argues that large parts of the world are about to decarbonise at breakneck speed for reasons that have nothing to do with net zero. They want to rid themselves off traded oil and gas because these fuels are a strategic danger, & because there are now better alternatives.

“The energy transformation is on the cusp of re-accelerating. It will be driven by the quest for security, with nations creating a diversified energy mix of joules to insulate themselves from geopolitical, macro and financial risks,”

A look at world's largest electricity producers and how much is from renewables

> A report out Thursday said a record 47% of the European Union’s electricity came from renewable sources in 2024, and experts called it a promising sign for the world’s ability to transition away from fossil fuels that are driving climate change. https://apnews.com/article/climate-renewable-energy-electricity-european-union-us-china-5a681606856e7b23f669a519fdc70ee2 #ClimateChange #FossilFuels #US #GlobalWarming #EU #China #Canada #Brazil #Korea #Renewables #CleanEnergy

Not only are the targets set by the government's draft energy plan insufficient in tackling the climate challenge, but the fairness of the process leading to them was dubious. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/01/13/japan/japan-energy-plan-process-failure/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #climatechange #emissions #energy #electricity #renewables #nuclearenergy #lng #gas #meti #environmentministry

What Europe needs to do in the next 10 years:
🔫 Create a single #EUarmy and foreign policy by majority
⚡️ A real common energy policy, which, like the CAP, has the goal of energy abundance, backed by #nuclear, #renewables, and #EnergyStorage tech

Disposal of used solar panels is expected to be a big problem in Japan in the coming decade after solar power generation spread rapidly following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/05/japan/japan-used-solar-panel-disposal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #solar #renewables #energy #waste #recycling #tepco #nuclearenergy #environment

Japan is sitting on an abundance of geothermal energy potential.

Good news story..

Between 1st July 2023 and the end of April 2024, Uruguay generated all of its electricity from hydro, wind, bioenergy and solar.

Hydroelectric plants comprised 42.9% of the total mix, followed closely by wind farms at 40.6%. Bioenergy (12.9%) and solar (3.5%) accounted for the remainder.
