⚠️ Private equity-backed fossil fuel infrastructure is projected to cause $100–150B in health damages in the U.S. over the next decade. The toll includes thousands of hospital visits, school & work disruptions + nearly 10,000 premature deaths. Read:

New oil & gas fields could emit 2,300 kt of methane annually by 2030 — akin to all methane emissions from fossil fuel production in Europe today. But the top operators haven’t submitted data to the UN’s OGMP 2.0 reporting framework.

NEW | Converting 446 coal mines could add nearly 300 GW of solar — equal to 15% of global capacity. Most of this potential is concentrated in a few regions, highlighting where targeted action could deliver outsized clean energy gains. Learn more:

Many new oil & gas fields are expected to reach full production before methane regulations apply. Yet these projects are moving forward and potential methane emissions from them could rival Europe’s entire methane emissions from fossil fuel production.

Our latest data shows coal-to-solar conversions are underway in 15 countries outside 🇨🇳 but most projects remain in early stages. Announcements are growing, but few have broken ground. W/o faster action, a major clean energy opportunity could slip away.

🛢️ 63 oil & gas fields in dev't could emit 2,300 kt of methane per year by 2030 — enough to rival all methane emissions from fossil fuel production in Europe. Our latest maps these projects + the gap between planned emissions & current reporting efforts.

One year into China’s capacity payments program, GEM analysis finds: the policy is boosting coal plant revenue but not clearly shifting coal to a “supporting” role, as intended. Insightful breakdown by GEM's Mingxin Zhang via @CarbonBrief ⬇️.
