🌍 Webinar Alert: Unveiling GEM’s Africa Energy Tracker! 🌍 📅 Date: Wednesday, September 4th ⏰ Time: 5pm EAT / 2pm UTC We’re excited to present an exclusive webinar showcasing GEM’s new Africa Energy Tracker. This comprehensive dataset maps energy infrastructure across North and sub-Saharan Africa, covering essential sectors such as oil and gas, coal, and renewables. In this webinar, you will: 1️⃣ Explore Insights: Discover data on power generation, extraction sites, and fuel movement. 2️⃣ See a Live Demo: Julie Joly, GEM’s Program Director for Oil and Gas, will demonstrate the tracker’s features and how it can enhance your work. 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gqMKhKf3 Can’t attend live? Register anyway to receive the recording! Don’t miss this chance to delve into Africa’s energy infrastructure and see how our tracker can support your research and advocacy efforts. See you there!

🌍💧 Our new Oil & Gas Extraction dashboard highlights the ongoing push for new projects despite climate warnings. 🔹 Key figures: 6,360 operating fields, 396 discovered, and 224 in development—far exceeding what's needed to stay within 1.5°C limits. 🔍 Explore the global impact: See where these projects are happening and their implications for our climate future. https://lnkd.in/gAFHFWfz

🇨🇳 China's rapid shift towards renewable energy is driven by a clear strategy: 1) strengthening its national energy security and 2) boosting its economy by establishing its leading role in the global green industry supply chain. 🌍🔋 Global Energy Monitor's Sophie Lu sheds light on these dynamics in a recent interview, explaining the challenges and opportunities China faces. For a deeper dive into this topic, check out our latest briefing on China's leadership in wind and solar energy: https://lnkd.in/e8Adfqp3

China 🇨🇳 is dominating the global nuclear energy landscape, rapidly expanding its #NuclearPower capacity faster than any other nation this century. 🔹 China is responsible for half of all new nuclear projects worldwide. 🔹 Despite a moratorium on inland nuclear development post-Fukushima, China is on track to surpass France as the world’s second-largest nuclear fleet, trailing only the U.S. 🔹 The buildout could have been even larger if not for the suspension of 201 GW of inland nuclear capacity. While GEM’s data suggests this rapid buildout is likely to continue, China’s simultaneous investment in utility-scale solar and wind power may reduce the need for further nuclear additions. 🔗 Read the full briefing for more insights: https://lnkd.in/e3mDa_Dy

GEM is seeking a new Project Manager for our Global Wind Power Tracker in our Renewables and Other Power Trackers Program. Please take a look and share with anyone you who may be interested! https://lnkd.in/eMeASZAz The Renewables and Other Power team's research program focuses on producing global facility-level datasets that reflect the current and future utility-scale solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, bioenergy, and nuclear landscapes. The Renewables and Other Power Program publishes the following trackers: Global Solar Power Tracker, Global Wind Power Tracker, Global Hydropower Tracker, Global Geothermal Tracker, Global Bioenergy Power Tracker and the Global Nuclear Power Tracker.
