Japan, South Korea and China are all moving away from overseas coal financing. For Australia, the writing is on the wall – the clean energy transition is inevitable.
Xi Jinping has been talking tough on decarbonising China, but blinked after an energy crisis threatened to derail the world economy.
China’s Belt and Road initiative offers advantages and drawbacks for renewable energy development worldwide.
Natural gas was once widely seen as a bridge fuel to renewable energy. But the industry’s methane leaks make it a larger global warming threat than people realized.
The world is moving away fossil fuels, and there’s nothing Australia can do about it. Racing to dig up and sell whatever fossil fuels we can before the timer stops is not a future-proof strategy.
Major research found Australia must keep 95% of coal in the ground to limit global warming. With a little political will, this would be easy to do.
Our new study reveals how tight the world’s remaining carbon budget is.
Major coal generators say the proposal will help shore up energy supplies. But opponents say it will pay coal plants for simply existing and delay the clean energy transition.
At the bottom of our carbon fears is a big black problem.
