Africa’s proposed hydrogen-linked renewables boom is massive — almost the size of the world’s entire solar buildout in H1 '25.
~350 GW of prospective capacity across the continent - nearly 10× what’s operating today.
But much of is far from becoming reality.

Coal mines emit far more methane than what satellites currently capture, but GMET’s new analysis offers the most detailed view yet of equipment-level emission sources.
A step forward for transparency, enforcement, and methane mitigation planning.

Iraq now has nearly 39 GW of oil and gas power in development — ranking fourth worldwide.
More than half will burn oil, and if built, it would double today’s capacity. The buildout reflects efforts to close a persistent gap between supply and demand.

Latest briefing from our Global Solar and Wind Power Trackers reveal that more than 60% of prospective solar and wind capacity in Africa is for hydrogen production.

Today's FT Big Read: India's steel production has boomed in the past decade. But that growth comes with significant costs.
“We are creating a big carbon monster that we will not be able to tackle in the future,” says @globalenergymon.bsky.social's Henna Khadeeja - on.ft.com/4oVZzWI
Europe’s green hydrogen ambitions are pulling Africa’s renewables pipeline.
61% of planned wind + solar capacity across the continent — 216 GW — is geared toward hydrogen for export, not local use.
A huge buildout on paper, but far from becoming reality.

#PrivateEquity is powering the #AI boom — w/gas.
New research links the world’s biggest PE firms to a global fleet of gas-fired power plants spanning 27 countries and 82 million tonnes CO₂ a year.
The digital gold rush runs on fossil fuel. #ClimateFinance

W/216 GW of Africa’s planned wind + solar tied to hydrogen for export, the stakes are high & much still unproven.
Most projects are early-stage or speculative, raising questions about who benefits & what actually gets built.

New analysis: 20 #PrivateEquity firms now control 60 GW of gas power — emitting 82 Mt CO₂ each year, about as much as 17 million U.S. homes.
As #AI drives up electricity demand, PE is betting big on gas. #ClimateCrisis

Developed w/#SpatialFinance, GEM’s new Global Chemicals Inventory maps 868 plants in 80 countries — tracking 8 core chemicals forming the backbone of modern materials & fertilizers.
Built for transparency in one of the world’s most energy-intensive sectors: globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
Latest from Reuters using @globalenergymon.bsky.social data! Two-thirds of new power projects are solar & wind 🌞💨 Around 950 GW of clean capacity is being built—345 GW of that from solar alone.

Le monde arrête enfin de créer de nouvelles centrales électriques au charbon.
Le rythme des fermetures va lui s'accélérer.
Et il le faut...
🛢 In 2025, U.S. #LNG developers took FIDs on 5 export projects — adding 59 mtpa, w/more proposals.
Analysts warn it could tighten U.S. gas supply & raise costs for power, industry & heating — fueling an oversupplied global market.

Last new coal plant proposals cancelled or shelved in Thailand, Kenya, Tajikistan & Uzbekistan, Cambodia deciding not to build any new coal, Morocco committing to a 2040 coal phase-out, proposals for new coal power outside China at record low - lots of progress happening outside front page news.

New data from our Global #CoalPlant Tracker is out. A few key trends:
📉 Countries w/coal power under dev't hit a record low — only 33 remain since the Paris Agreement.
📉 New proposals fell below 2 GW in Q3 2025 — 85% below recent averages.

🛰️ New @mongabay.com investigation finds oil projects moving into one of Uganda’s most biodiverse regions.
The story draws on data from GEM’s Oil & Gas Infrastructure Trackers.

📊 GEM’s newest #Bioenergy Power data shows China continues to lead.
➡️ W/6 GW of new projects planned, its pipeline is triple the capacity of Brazil — which holds 2nd place — and equal to the combined pipelines of 🇧🇷, 🇯🇵, 🇬🇧 & 🇻🇳.

Do fossil fuel companies invest in renewables as much as they say they do? Are they part of the solution yet?
No.
They might pledge to do better, but new @globalenergymon.bsky.social research shows just 1.8% of renewable assets in 🇪🇺 are owned by these companies.
www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...
Nominee companies act as middlemen, masking the real investors behind Australia’s biggest polluters.
With no regulation of nominee shareholding, fossil fuel ownership remains hidden — and accountability out of reach.
📊 Full analysis: globalenergymonitor.org/report/the-f...
🌍 The top 250 oil and gas companies own only 1.42% of operating global renewable energy projects.
Despite pledges to do so, these companies are not investing in a sustainable future. #GreenFakes

Australia, companies with #ownership obscured through nominee structures account for 23 million tonnes of #fossilfuel CO2 #emissions every year — about 18% of the national total.

Who really owns 🇦🇺 ’s fossil fuel projects?
A new GEM analysis shows nominee branches of JP Morgan, Citibank & HSBC are listed as shareholders for 50+ coal, oil & gas projects obscuring project ownership.
+ emitting as much CO₂ as 4.4M Australian households.
Taiwan’s energy mix is shifting fast. Can a renewables-led blueprint outpace gas in delivering secure, climate-aligned power?
Aiqun Yu and Cheng Cheng Wu from @globalenergymon.bsky.social argue for a renewables-forward blueprint to reduce gas dependency.
GEM’s Oil & Gas data helped inform this important analysis from @ceebankwatch.bsky.social and @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social on why gas is a dead end for the Western Balkans.
