Excited to share that GEM will be hosting a panel during Climate Week in NYC. I'd love to see you there.

⚠️ NEW | China’s coal industry is at a critical juncture. Despite global efforts to reduce coal dependence, recent data reveals troubling trends: 1️⃣ Methane Emissions: China’s coal mines contribute to around 70% of global coal mine methane emissions. With new projects on the horizon, this figure is set to rise, posing a significant challenge to the country’s dual-carbon goals. 🌍 2️⃣ New Capacity Proposals: The country is proposing 1,280 Mtpa of new coal mine capacity—more than double India’s and nearly half of global proposals. Explore these critical insights and their implications for global climate goals in our latest report: https://lnkd.in/ekRQ2dVq

🌍 Just 15 countries are responsible for 98% of new coal-power development globally, with China 🇨🇳 and India 🇮🇳 alone driving 86% of this expansion. In our latest guest post for Carbon Brief, we draw on insights from the Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT) and broader energy trends to highlight the key factors fueling continued coal growth and its implications for the global energy transition. A huge thanks to GEM’s expert team—Lucy Hummer, Jeanette Lim, Jelena Babajeva, CFA, Claire Pitre, and Xing Zhang—for their invaluable work on this analysis! 👏 https://lnkd.in/d8ZjhPf4

I’ve loved working with Global Energy Monitor on their new maps. Fun to design and build, inspired by their fantastic data and approach, and great to get into all the details with the team Ted Nace Maisie Bird Taylor H. Ryan Driskell Tate Eric Rodenbeck D. Vinay Dixit

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

Curious what is keeping coal development alive in some countries when most of the world has stopped proposing new coal plants? Read the latest from me and my team at Global Energy Monitor in Carbon Brief, "Just 15 countries account for 98% of new coal-power development": https://lnkd.in/eG-9j-J8 We discuss the most recent findings for each of the 15 countries, with analysis based on our July 2024 Global Coal Plant Tracker update. Thank you to Jeanette Lim, Jelena Babajeva, CFA, Claire Pitre, Xing Zhang, (and Christine Shearer!!) for your collaboration.

GEM's Global Oil & Gas Plants Tracker now features detailed unit-level data on gas turbine manufacturers and models for pre-construction and construction gas plants. This update provides fresh insights into the key players shaping the global market. Our latest data reveals that 175 GW of gas-fired capacity using gas turbines is under construction worldwide, with two-thirds of this capacity being built by just three companies. This dominance underscores a major investment in hydrogen technology for the energy transition, though its effectiveness for decarbonization remains a topic of debate. 🔍 Explore the full brief: https://lnkd.in/eWwj8njJ
