• [New] CCS technologies are envisioned to play an important role in the decarbonization of hydrogen production, similar to the approach followed by the US. Bruegel | The Brussels-based economic think tank
• More than 90% of electricity generated in the European Union by 2040 will be decarbonised and says for some EU countries, nuclear energy is an important component of decarbonization, industrial competitiveness, and security of supply strategies. World Nuclear News
• Looking ahead, green hydrogen will become the leading hydrogen source in China and play a key role in the process of decarbonization of hydrogen supply and energy consumption. Nature
• Agriculture & food industry has particularly stepped up in 2025, with 80% of the firms considering decarbonization as an opportunity - back to 2023 level (+24 pp vs. 2024). Argos Wityu
• Green hydrogen (produced via electrolysis from renewables) becomes cost-competitive with grey hydrogen (from fossil fuels) by the early 2030s in high-renewable regions, under the Rapid Decarbonization scenario. Platform Executive
• Nome Joint Utility Systems - Alaska: Nome's project focuses on system upgrades to their diesel-powered microgrid with expected direct efficiency gains while also priming for the future integration of additional on-site generation. Energy.gov
• As the demand for electrification and decarbonization increases around the world, Aggreko expects the demand for renewable energy and hybrid solutions to grow along with it. Australian Mining
• CATL will share best practices and optimization strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the battery lifecycle, supporting APM Terminals in achieving its Scope 3 decarbonization aims and helping ports globally to accelerate their decarbonization efforts. Container News
• The UK Government is at risk of missing its target to decarbonise the electricity system by 95% by 2030 unless it speeds up the rollout of new energy infrastructure. Edie
• Since maximising the decarbonization potential of EAF conversion is contingent on access to renewable energy, investment in renewable power sources - such as through PPA agreements-will be just as vital as investment in raw materials. Transition Asia
• OSG's President and CEO, carbon capture and storage systems are expected to play a crucial role in achieving U.S. carbon reduction goals, potentially contributing up to 30% of total emission reductions needed for net zero by 2050. gCaptain
• As India remains committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, nuclear energy alongside technologies like Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) are emerging as key components of its strategy for decarbonization and green transition. The Indian Express
• Fragmented markets, entrenched fossil fuel dependencies, and supply chain vulnerabilities continue to challenge energy security and hinder global decarbonization efforts. Policy Center
• Governments in many European countries have high hopes for cheap green hydrogen from Africa to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors. Nature
• As major steelmaking nations like China, Japan, and South Korea increasingly adopt DRI technology and pursue decarbonization goals, demand patterns for Australian coal exports could fundamentally shift over the coming decades. Discovery Alert
• As power generation makes up around 40% of Singapore's total carbon emissions, electricity imports will play a significant role in decarbonising the power sector. The Straits Times
• The overall cost of meeting the Balanced Pathway for Scotland is estimated to be £750 million per year on average between 2025 and 2050, relative to a baseline of no further decarbonization action. Climate Change Committee
• Nearly three years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine catalysed a historic disruption in gas supply chains, the EU finds itself with more gas infrastructure than it knows what to do with - and a decarbonization strategy whose delivery increasingly appears aspirational. Institute for New Economic Thinking
• Given the balance of investment costs and operating savings, the overall cost of meeting the Balanced Pathway for Wales is estimated to be £390 million per year on average between 2025 and 2050, relative to a baseline pathway of no further decarbonization action. Climate Change Committee
