Left unmitigated, India's coal mine methane emissions could soon reach 138 MtCO2e by 2030 – comparable to emissions from its entire heavy-duty transport sector in 2021. That’s all the emissions from every truck and bus in the country combined 📉 ember-energy.org/lat...

India could save about $980 MILLION by 2030 by capturing and utilising coal mine methane 💶 Capturing fugitive methane from coal mines would offset imports and cut cumulative emissions, making it an economic opportunity. ember-energy.org/lat...

Germany had 2.5 GW of operational grid-scale batteries in 2025, the largest fleet in the EU 🔋 Another 10 GW is in the pipeline. Had that capacity been online in 2025, Germany could have avoided €830 million in gas purchases and solar redispatch costs. ember-energy.org/lat...

The major drivers of global fossil generation growth, India and China, are now aggressively diversifying their energy mix with renewables -- the new largest sources of growth, says Ember's @nicolasfulghum.

Widespread underreporting left an estimated 89% of global coal mine methane emissions outside UNFCCC inventories in 2023. Reliance on Tier 1 and 2 methods to estimate CMM – instead of direct measurements – further obscure the scale of the CMM problem. ember-energy.org/lat...

Fears of a major coal resurgence amid the US-Israel war with Iran may be overstated as cost-competitive solar, wind and batteries are limiting any comeback. At worst, coal generation would rise by just 1.8% in 2026, says Dave Jones

As solar and battery prices fall rapidly, concerns about market “deluge” and company shakeouts grow. But as Daan Walter puts it, “pressure makes diamonds”. Rising competition will only push companies to unlock new markets, drive further innovation, and accelerate the transition.

Just seven countries account for NEARLY ALL of the world’s coal mine methane emissions, with China alone responsible for THREE-QUARTERS in 2023. Yet, UNFCCC reporting by these major emitters remains inconsistent. ember-energy.org/lat...

#CMMSpotlight | In March 2023, satellites detected a #methane super-emitter event at the Cerrejón open-pit mine in #Colombia 🇨🇴 🛰️ This event emitted 3700kg of methane per hour – the climate equivalent of 98,000 cars on the road simultaneously 🚙💨 Wilmar Suarez explains👇

As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and its knock-on effects on oil and gas prices exposes the fragility of the fossil fuel system, #SantaMarta highlights the urgency of taking the electric fast-track, especially for the world’s most vulnerable developing economies. 🔗ember-energy.org/lat...

Coal mine methane is a major BLINDSPOT in global methane action 🚨 Of the 73 countries that mined coal in 2023, only 23 reported coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, leaving around 31 million tonnes unreported to the UNFCCC. ember-energy.org/lat...

From record solar and batteries, clean power meeting all demand growth and renewables overtaking coal, explore the key findings from Ember's Global Electricity Review 2026 presented by Nicolas Fulghum and Kostantsa Rangelova. Taken from the launch event of #GER2026

Colombia, now hosting the #SantaMarta conference, has seen fossil power fall by 13% below its 2024 peak level. Other LatAm OECD members tell a similar story: Chile’s fossil generation is 36% below its 2013 peak, while Mexico’s is 6% below its 2018 peak. ember-energy.org/lat...

NEW | Global coal mine methane emissions have NOT FALLEN since 2021, despite rising coal production. Only 23 of 73 countries reported #CMM emissions, leaving 89% UNREPORTED. Yet, existing tech could cut #CMM by MORE THAN HALF. ember-energy.org/lat...

Clean power — led by solar — grew faster than global electricity demand in 2025 ☀️ Electricity demand rose by 849 TWh, while solar alone added 636 TWh. Fossil generation slightly declined. This marks only the fifth time this century that fossil output has stalled. ember-energy.org/lat...
