India could progressively reduce coal mine methane (CMM) emissions by up to 35% annually by 2030, cutting over 1.6 million tonnes of methane.

Technologies like regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTO) can be used to mitigate CMM.

The global EV race is on: many emerging economies are leapfrogging advanced markets in EV penetration.

In Latin America, Uruguay (27%) and Costa Rica (17%) lead in EV share, while Brazil and Colombia are now close to overtaking the United States.

Emerging economies are outpacing advanced markets in EV uptake.

The payoff is clear – EVs use three times less energy than petrol and diesel cars, which can cut fossil demand by:
🇧🇷 94% in Brazil
🇮🇩 Nearly half in Indonesia, despite a fossil-heavy grid

Rising EV penetration in #ASEAN can help reduce fossil fuel use.

Compared to petrol and diesel cars, EVs cut ~50% fossil use in Indonesia despite a fossil-reliant power grid, and 63% in Viet Nam.

Latin American countries are fast adopting EVs, which are more efficient than petrol and diesel cars, and help reduce fossil fuel imports.

🇺🇾 27% of new car sales are EVs in 2025, on par with the EU
🇨🇷 17%
🇨🇴🇧🇷 ~10%

Emerging markets are now driving China's EV export boom, with Brazil, Mexico, the UAE and Indonesia among the top destinations this year.

🇨🇳’s EV exports to non-OECD markets have TRIPLED since July 2023 (+$16.2bn) vs. 5% rise to OECD (+$2.7bn).

New South Wales accounts for 38% of Australia’s coal mine methane emissions. But satellite analysis estimates that actual emissions could be DOUBLE that.

Reducing data discrepancies ensures the right methane mitigation is adopted.

Lower electricity prices are KEY to boosting heat pump deployment in the EU.

A few ways to cut electricity prices to be more competitive with gas:
➡️ Shifting policy costs from electricity to general taxes or gas
📉 Reducing network costs
❌ Cutting VAT

Non-energy costs like taxes and policy costs can make up 75% of electricity bills in some EU countries 💶

High electricity bills make heat pumps more expensive – and less likely to be adopted – than gas boilers, despite being 2-3x more efficient!

AI became an electricity story 🤖

Energy-hungry data centre growth exposed a new reality: the AI race is now a power-and-grid race. Nations scaling clean electricity and modern grids are the ones attracting the next wave of digital investment.

Electrotech accelerated⚡

Solar, wind, batteries, EVs and the electrified industry together became the main driver of global energy growth. China cemented its position as the world’s first “electrostate”, while emerging economies leapfrogged older fossil-heavy systems.

Steep declines in battery costs and rapid storage deployment are turning solar into a reliable power source for almost 24 hours a day, all year round🔋

In sunny regions, solar + batteries can deliver round-the-clock power at $104/MWh, cheaper than new coal or nuclear.

Wind and solar reached scale in major markets in 2025⚡

Brazil crossed one-third generation from wind + solar in August; the UK generated over 50% of its electricity from wind + solar in Sept; and solar became California’s largest power source in April and the EUs in June.
