Yes, we are using lots of coal, but for how long?
We might be using more coal, a move that seems to take us away from our desired end destination. But we caution against interpreting this as meaning that coal, or even in many cases gas, has a positive long-term future from an investing perspective.
France car parks and PV
France wants all of its larger carparks, new and existing, to have rooftop solar. If we take the plan a bit further, we could see the potential to power local residential building cooling and EV charging.
Agriculture and indirect migrant labour exploitation
Exploitation of migrant workers does not only take place in the global south, it's also an issue in Europe as well, especially in the agriculture industry.
Green hydrogen - Germany is going for broke
Germany is going for broke on green hydrogen. It's not going to be cheap, and there are massive barriers to overcome, but the alternative for them is worse.
Heat pumps powered by wind and solar?
As the percentage of renewables on our grids grows, we need to think differently about how we use and store electricity - part of the answer is better matching supply & demand
Defining what a sustainability linked bond is
Standards matter - vagueness in the definition of what makes a sustainability linked bond makes it tough for investors to be sure that they "do what it says on the tin".
The green hydrogen investor dilemma
Is the growth potential more than just hype and can companies grow profitably? Focus: Green hydrogen, heavy industry, hard to decarbonise, steel, chemicals, fertiliser, ammonia
Electrifying industry with heat pumps
Electric heat pumps are a promising alternative for an efficient and emission-free supply of process heat at technically feasible temperatures, with potential to push the envelope up to over 200 degrees.
Building resilient hubs
In many places climate adaptation, rather than mitigation is needed. Not just protection against, but aid for recovery after extreme weather events.
'Baseload' electricity from renewables
It used to be said that renewables cannot provide 24/7 electricity. This project in Australia says otherwise.
Thinking differently about EV charging
Shifting current EV charging from home to work, and night to day, could cut costs and help the grid.
How is Europe responding to the crisis?
Russia's invasion of Ukraine could accelerate the green transition. But only if Europe makes decisions for the long term
