TODAY | Ember is bringing together a panel of experts to unpack the IEA’s World Energy Outlook and a big question: when will fossil fuel demand peak? Join us at 12pm Paris to dissect scenarios and explore the #ElectrotechRevolution ⚡ Register: https://loom.ly/K_wRp1s#ElectrotechRevolution#COP30

The @iea.org’s World Energy Outlook is here ❌ Ignore the hype on an extended shelf life for fossil fuels Renewables + electrification = an energy revolution ⚡ Let’s unpack what it all means 🧵1/8

@kingsmillbond.bsky.social and the Global Renewable Alliance’s CEO, Bruce Douglas, share how the #ElectrotechRevolution is changing the global system on the Financial Times’ Sustainable Views: https://loom.ly/fhKe3AQ

The world installed 69GW of battery capacity in 2024, nearly DOUBLING the global total 🔋 How did we get here? Battery costs = 📉 Battery storage capacity = 📈 #COP30 presents the opportunity to take this technology even further. https://loom.ly/fc_ml84#COP30

Ember is at @COP30noBrasil to show just how far the #energytransition has come and how the #EletrotechRevolution is helping it accelerate ☀️ Follow Ember to stay up to date on everything electrotech at #COP30

Renewable additions are expected to reach a record 793 GW in 2025, up from 717 GW of new installations in 2024. By the end of 2025, the world will have 5,000 GW of renewable capacity – less than half of the way to meeting the tripling goal of 11,000 GW by 2030. ember-energy.org/lat...

MILESTONE | In October 2025, renewables generated more electricity than fossil fuels in #Australia for the first time on record⚡ Share of fossil fuels fell to LESS THAN HALF of 🇦🇺's power generation as renewables took the lead. https://loom.ly/TwPNYos

Electrotech is making its way around the world, as China’s clean technology exports hit a RECORD $20bn in August ⚡ This new high was due to rapid growth in: 🚗 EVs 🔋 Batteries And over HALF of this growth occurred in countries outside of the OECD #COP30 https://loom.ly/upwIj00#COP30

NEW data | Less than 50% of Australia's electricity generation came from fossil fuels in October 🇦🇺⚡️ This was the first month ever where renewables have overtaken fossil fuels in Australia's electricity mix. 10 years ago, in October 2015, fossil fuels made up 86%.

As the global #energytransition picks up pace, falling coal demand and prices are squeezing Indonesia’s coal profits and state revenues. Targeted actions can cut coal mine methane emissions and manage coal-dependent regions in Indonesia through this shift. https://loom.ly/H4vRTH0

As the EU electrifies more end-use sectors, fossil demand will fall 3x faster than the rise in electricity use – cutting dependence on fossil imports. Switching from fossil to electricity across energy end-uses boosts efficiency while decarbonising. https://loom.ly/W_QzMzk

When will fossil fuel demand peak? A combination of renewables, electrification and clean tech means this milestone is no longer a distant reality, but will happen in the near future. Learn more at Ember's upcoming webinar: 🗓️ 12 Nov 🕒 12pm Paris #COP30 https://loom.ly/K_wRp1s

#China is forecasted to install 66% of the world’s solar capacity and 69% of wind capacity in 2025. This would be the third consecutive year that 🇨🇳 added more solar and wind than the rest of the world. ember-energy.org/lat...

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗 These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons. https://loom.ly/BwyhReA

Solar capacity additions are forecast to exceed the #3xRenewables goal by 2030 – but wind and hydro are falling behind. Wind: 739 GW short Hydro: 176 GW short Even as capacity surges, national targets still lag across all three technologies. ember-energy.org/lat...

Indonesia’s coal production is outpacing reported coal mine methane (#CMM) emissions – a sign of underreporting due to outdated estimation methods. In 2024, CMM emissions reached 722 kilotonnes, more than four times the official estimate of 168 kt CH4. https://loom.ly/H4vRTH0

Solar and wind OUTPACED global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025, leading to a slight fall in fossil fuels compared to this time last year ☀️🌪️ Record solar and steady wind growth is reshaping global power as renewables OVERTAKE coal for the first time. https://loom.ly/c-MNZSk

The scenarios laid out in the IEA’s upcoming World Energy Outlook forecast very different energy futures. In our webinar, panelists unpack what these scenarios mean and how likely they are to materialise. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qYk8aN4rRDeGp-LRlro2DQ

#COP30 EVENT | The Electrotech Revolution is changing the global energy landscape 🗓️12 Nov 2025 ⏱️3pm Belém 📍Global Renewables Hub, Pavilion C110 Featuring Ember, @gra-3xrenewables.bsky.social, @octopus.energy and ARUP. 🔗 See details here: ember-energy.org/lat...

National targets are only on track to double renewable capacity by 2030, despite the COP28 pledge to TRIPLE renewables. Aggregate renewable capacity targets have increased slightly by 8%, but more needs to be done to fulfil #3xRenewables. ember-energy.org/lat...

80% of people live in fossil-importing countries. #COP30 can help change that with electrotech: ✅ 92% of countries have renewables potential 10x their demand ✅ EVs + heat pumps + renewables can cut fossil imports by 70% ✅ That’s $1.3 trillion saved annually https://loom.ly/3w1t6MY#COP30

Electrotech delivers for decades once installed, providing long-term energy security. Fossil fuels require a constant supply, making them vulnerable to price and supply shocks. Learn more about the #ElectrotechRevolution 👉 https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/the-electrotech-revolution/

NEW | Renewable capacity additions grew 29% annually since 2023 – outpacing the 21% growth needed to triple global renewables by 2030 With just 12% annual growth from now to 2030, backed by more ambitious national targets, #3xRenewables is still possible ember-energy.org/lat...

NEW | Indonesia’s estimated coal mine methane emissions reached 722 kilotonnes in 2024, driven by record coal production. This could surge 25% by 2030 as new underground mines expand, even as coal production falls amid declining global demand and prices. https://loom.ly/H4vRTH0

China has been rapidly manufacturing electrotech at scale, which is driving down costs💰📉 For the past 15 years, China produced over 75% of the world’s solar PV modules, making it increasingly cost competitive against fossil fuels. https://loom.ly/psjqvhE

The EU paid €1.8 trillion for fossil imports during the gas crisis, double the pre-crisis level. This reliance on fossil imports has proven costly, but electrification using homegrown clean power de-risks the EU from volatile oil and gas imports 🔏 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2h60qVe9uA

By investing $4–10.7 billion in smart grid infrastructure – from basic automation to fully digitalised, flexible networks – ASEAN could: - Avoid $2.3 billion in annual losses - Create up to 650,000 new jobs - Ensure energy security https://loom.ly/i9lbBHo
