GEM is entering a new era of leadership.

Incoming ED Justin Locke sat down with founder Ted Nace to share his career journey, first impressions of GEM, and thoughts on the road ahead.

This conversation marks an important chapter as we welcome Justin into this role.

Australia, companies with #ownership obscured through nominee structures account for 23 million tonnes of #fossilfuel CO2 #emissions every year — about 18% of the national total.

The interactive data tools are great too! You can dig into asset level #emissions and #ownership

Corporate ‘middlemen’ mask who really profits from Australian fossil fuel projects, report warns
Nominee companies – paid to be listed as shareholders on behalf of unnamed investors – could be reducing accountability over financial support of industry

Who really owns 🇦🇺 ’s fossil fuel projects?

A new GEM analysis shows nominee branches of JP Morgan, Citibank & HSBC are listed as shareholders for 50+ coal, oil & gas projects obscuring project ownership.

+ emitting as much CO₂ as 4.4M Australian households.

Taiwan’s energy mix is shifting fast. Can a renewables-led blueprint outpace gas in delivering secure, climate-aligned power?

Aiqun Yu and Cheng Cheng Wu from @globalenergymon.bsky.social argue for a renewables-forward blueprint to reduce gas dependency.
After Nuclear, Renewables Can Power an Energy-secure Taiwan
After last month's defeat of a proposal to revive the country’s last nuclear power plant, Taiwan now has to decide its future energy mix.

GEM’s Oil & Gas data helped inform this important analysis from @ceebankwatch.bsky.social and @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social on why gas is a dead end for the Western Balkans.

Give it a read 👇

CEE Bankwatch Network @ceebankwatch.bsky.social · 13d
🚨 Western Balkans govts are pushing fossil gas pipelines with an annual import capacity of 10.5 billion cubic metres. These could triple their dependence — or end up as stranded assets.
New report with @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social explains why gas is a dead end.

Australia’s nuclear sector is unlikely to take off.

A moratorium, high costs, & long dev't timelines all limit nuclear’s role in the country’s energy transition.

W/coal set to be phased out by '38, wind & solar are positioned to lead the shift.

An honor to connect with Al Gore at #ClimateWeekNYC.

GEM contributes ownership data through our Global Energy Ownership Tracker as the sector lead in the @climatetrace.org coalition he co-founded — linking emissions to the companies most responsible.

🚨 New data: GEM’s Global #Bioenergy Power Tracker now covers 115 GW of operating capacity across 3,850 units in 116 countries.

China & Brazil lead the way — together holding 53 GW, w/China alone making up nearly 1/3 of global capacity.

Great discussion on timely climate communications at CET’s Moving from Data to Dialogue to Doing panel.

“It’s like reminding someone about a seatbelt 5 seconds before driving, not 5 minutes earlier.”

How do we bring that urgency to the energy transition?

Nuclear power in Europe is falling further behind.

Wind & solar capacity under construction now exceed nuclear 14 to 1. Meanwhile, the nuclear sector has seen 122 GW cancelled, 68 GW retired, and 90% of the remaining reactors are more than 35 years old.

High costs and long timelines have stalled nuclear power worldwide.

Nearly 40% of all nuclear projects ever proposed have been cancelled — 566 GW in total, more than the world’s entire operating & retired fleets combined.
