Six charts from the Pew Research Center show that the share of fossil fuels in global electricity production continues to decline, with renewable energy surpassing coal for the first time in 2025, and solar and wind power becoming the main drivers of growth.
Global green industrial policies are reshaping supply chain layouts, from clean manufacturing to critical minerals, presenting new opportunities and challenges for the energy transition.
The European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is reshaping global carbon governance and energy trade rules. Based on a CSIS report, this article analyzes how China is responding to this external pressure by strengthening its domestic carbon market and emission standards, and explores its long-term implications for the global energy transition and climate policy.
China's five departments jointly issued guidance on the development of zero-carbon factories, promoting deep industrial decarbonization by sector and in phases, prioritizing pilot projects in fields such as automobiles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics, and gradually expanding to traditional high-energy-consuming industries such as steel and petrochemicals, to help achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
The EU's CBAM is driving accelerated reform of China's carbon governance system, and China is responding by expanding carbon market coverage and improving its emissions accounting system. Based on a CSIS report, this article analyzes the far-reaching impact of CBAM on China's energy system and decarbonization process.
Carbon pricing mechanisms in the Asia-Pacific region are maturing at an accelerated pace, with China expanding its carbon market, India launching a trading platform, and the EU CBAM serving as a global catalyst.
The global ESG investment market size is expected to grow from USD 39.08 trillion in 2025 to USD 180.78 trillion in 2034, at a compound annual growth rate of 18.80%, becoming the core capital force driving clean energy and decarbonization projects.
A system dynamics study on Shanghai shows that under the current green transition path, Shanghai is expected to achieve carbon peaking by 2025. The study provides methodological and practical references for megacities to tackle the challenges of carbon emission reduction.
This article analyzes the changes in Germany's energy structure under the interaction of artificial intelligence, industrial technology, and green transformation, and explores how a systematic research framework can help understand policy signals, industry trends, and capital flows.
As the world accelerates toward a low-carbon future, countries are fiercely competing in areas such as renewable energy manufacturing, electric vehicles, green hydrogen, and carbon markets, vying for industrial and geopolitical leadership in the new climate economy.
Global natural capital investment reached $61.4 billion over the past decade, with Australia attracting $6.3 billion of that, making it a popular destination. Policy stability, land scale, and carbon market opportunities drove capital inflows, but controversies over "greenwashing" also emerged.
As the global energy transition accelerates, sustainability investments in physical assets are shifting from promises to measurable outcomes. Using CapitaLand Investment as an example, this article analyzes how building energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy deployment, and sustainable finance drive the low-carbon transition.
In mid-2026, multiple breakthroughs emerged in the global clean energy sector: Google signed a 200MW solar PPA, the world's largest 16MW floating wind turbine was installed, electricity prices in Spain fell due to renewable energy, New York advanced a climate responsibility bill targeting oil companies, and BYD led the UK electric vehicle market. This article summarizes recent key developments and analyzes their systematic impact on the energy transition.
The global green economy market value has surpassed $10 trillion for the first time, clean energy investment returns have outperformed the broader market, and the United States will add 79.7 GW of clean electricity in 2026, marking a new phase of energy transition driven by capital.
The market value of the green economy has exceeded $10 trillion for the first time, marking clean energy and sustainable development as the third largest industry in the world. This article analyzes the driving forces behind this milestone, its impact on energy systems, and future challenges.
India's clean energy transition is entering a new phase, with rapid expansion in renewable energy installations, but industrial emissions have become the biggest challenge to its net-zero target. This article analyzes why India needs to place the decarbonization of industrial supply chains at the core of its transition, exploring how policies, technologies, and global market trends are driving this shift.
A recent study shows that the voluntary carbon market not only prices biochar carbon removal, but also prices its associated sustainable development co-benefits. The study found that biochar carbon credits with more co-benefit claims typically command higher prices, but this also highlights the importance of verification, auditing, and market integrity.
