- As gas production in the Permian Basin approaches peak, new LNG export routes are being built to extend the reach of U.S. gas into Asian markets. Our new interactive briefing traces one of these pathways + the long-term implications:
- Reposted by Global Energy MonitorNEW - New coal power proposals in 🇨🇳 reached 161 GW in 2025, a record high, says a new report by @creacleanair.bsky.social and @globalenergymon.bsky.social Many coal plants in China are loss-making and run far below full capacity For more, see my article in @carbonbrief.org - link in the comments ⬇️
- Record proposals are only part of the story. China commissioned 78 GW of coal in 2025 and retired just 8 GW — a widening gap that could lock in excess capacity for years. New analysis with @creacleanair.bsky.social 👇
- 🇨🇳NEW | China–Coal power biannual review–H2 2025 💥In 2025, new & reactivated coal project proposals surged to record of 161GW–as clean energy put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse & drove down coal power generation w/@globalenergymon.bsky.social 📄Report here: energyandcleanair.org/publication/...
- Reposted by Global Energy MonitorOur upcoming data release on February 10, 2026, will include +35k wind and +103k solar assets worldwide — all part of our open-access energy infrastructure datasets. The updated wind & solar data and briefing drops Feb 10 via @globalenergymon.bsky.social #renewables #wind #solar 🧪💡☀️💨
- 🇺🇸 The U.S. has surpassed 🇨🇳 China as the world’s largest developer of gas-fired power. GEM data show 252 GW in development in the U.S., compared with 153 GW in China — even as China added a record 22.4 GW in 2025. 🔗 globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
- How do 1.5 Bt of met coal and 2.5 Bt of iron ore travel through the steelmaking chain? GEM’s new data maps global flows and highlights the barriers and opportunities shaping steel decarbonization. Explore: globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...

- GEM’s new interactive briefing traces one LNG supply chain under construction, linking gas fields, pipelines, export terminals + power plants across three countries. Drawing on our data, it shows how regional gas projects are linked & why that matters.
- Gas supply chains are global — even when they look local. Our new interactive brief traces one LNG pathway under construction from the U.S. Permian Basin, through Mexico, to Malaysia’s power sector. See how regional decisions connect & what’s at stake: globalenergymonitor.org/us-mexico-ma...
- Our latest GMET update links 1,700+ #methane plumes near #CoalMines to specific sites — w/nearly 90% tied to named mines or identifiable mine infrastructure. A clearer picture of where emissions originate & where mitigation is urgently needed. See the data:
- Iraq leads the world in oil-fired power development, with 84% of all planned capacity — nearly 39 GW. If built, it would double current capacity, even as many MENA countries shift toward large-scale renewables. globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
- 🚢 NEW TRACKER: #LNG doesn’t just move through pipelines on land — it moves across oceans. For the first time, GEM is tracking LNG carriers worldwide in its new LNG Carrier Tracker, developed w/Solutions for Our Climate. 🔗 Explore the tracker: globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
- High-res satellite data shows methane plumes repeatedly coming from mine systems — ventilation shafts, degasification equipment, and other infrastructure. GMET’s update links these detections with mine-level mitigation data to show where action is missing. globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
- A PECR report exposes how private equity’s fossil fuel investments are unjustly pushing climate risks onto the Global South. And due to limited disclosure, investors—including public pensions & university endowments—are often kept in the dark. ➡️ www.peclimaterisks.org/reports/glob...
- GEM’s granular research into China’s power sector is essential to global progress toward clean-energy goals, but the now-16-person team began with just a few people and a bold vision. www.linkedin.com/pulse/tracki...
- Africa’s proposed hydrogen-linked renewables boom is massive — almost the size of the world’s entire solar buildout in H1 '25. ~350 GW of prospective capacity across the continent - nearly 10× what’s operating today. But much of is far from becoming reality. globalenergymonitor.org/report/europ...
- Coal mines emit far more methane than what satellites currently capture, but GMET’s new analysis offers the most detailed view yet of equipment-level emission sources. A step forward for transparency, enforcement, and methane mitigation planning. More here →
- Iraq now has nearly 39 GW of oil and gas power in development — ranking fourth worldwide. More than half will burn oil, and if built, it would double today’s capacity. The buildout reflects efforts to close a persistent gap between supply and demand. globalenergymonitor.org/projects/glo...
- Reposted by Global Energy MonitorLatest briefing from our Global Solar and Wind Power Trackers reveal that more than 60% of prospective solar and wind capacity in Africa is for hydrogen production.
- W/216 GW of Africa’s planned wind + solar tied to hydrogen for export, the stakes are high & much still unproven. Most projects are early-stage or speculative, raising questions about who benefits & what actually gets built. Learn more in our newest brief: globalenergymonitor.org/report/europ...

- Europe’s green hydrogen ambitions are pulling Africa’s renewables pipeline. 61% of planned wind + solar capacity across the continent — 216 GW — is geared toward hydrogen for export, not local use. A huge buildout on paper, but far from becoming reality. 🔗 globalenergymonitor.org/report/europ...
- #PrivateEquity is powering the #AI boom — w/gas. New research links the world’s biggest PE firms to a global fleet of gas-fired power plants spanning 27 countries and 82 million tonnes CO₂ a year. The digital gold rush runs on fossil fuel. #ClimateFinance www.peclimaterisks.org/private-equi...

- Reposted by Global Energy MonitorLatest from Reuters using @globalenergymon.bsky.social data! Two-thirds of new power projects are solar & wind 🌞💨 Around 950 GW of clean capacity is being built—345 GW of that from solar alone. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

- Nominee companies act as middlemen, masking the real investors behind Australia’s biggest polluters. With no regulation of nominee shareholding, fossil fuel ownership remains hidden — and accountability out of reach. 📊 Full analysis: globalenergymonitor.org/report/the-f...
- 🌍 The top 250 oil and gas companies own only 1.42% of operating global renewable energy projects. Despite pledges to do so, these companies are not investing in a sustainable future. #GreenFakes Learn more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
