NEW | Solar power surge in 2025 stalls rise in fossil electricity worldwide ⚡📈

Clean power growth outpaced global electricity demand last year – with solar alone supplying THREE-QUARTERS of the increase in demand ☀️

The Caribbean generates 91% of its electricity from fossil fuels – the vast majority of which is imported.

This dependence leaves the region highly exposed to global price shocks, which can trigger inflation and higher household bills 📈

Nearly HALF of the lives taken by ozone formed from coal mine #methane can be SAVED with technology that already exists.

✅ Pre-drainage and ventilation air methane oxidation are commercially proven
🫁 Deployed together, they could prevent ~12,600 deaths

Which parts of Britain are benefiting most from electrotech?

Wales is leading on rooftop solar, batteries and heat pumps. Scotland’s a close second🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

By playing to local strengths, Britain can electrify faster and benefit sooner

This made 13.6 Mt of Indonesian coal sit in Japan’s residual “Coal for Coking N.E.S” tariff line, blurring coal classifications – and therefore upstream methane accounting.

Indonesia’s coal shipments to Japan in 2024 were read 3 different ways:

🇮🇩 39% coking (Indonesian Customs)
🇯🇵 52% for coking (Japan Customs)
🏭 2% metallurgical (Kpler Commercial)

NEW | The Caribbean has installed almost TWICE as many solar panels as officially recorded between 2021 and 2024 ☀️

Energy sovereignty is within reach, but policy barriers are delaying the shift away from costly fossil imports.

More than half of the deaths linked to ozone formed from coal mine #methane trace back to a single country.

China’s coal sector accounts for ~20,100 deaths globally that can be prevented over the coming decades – more than the rest of the world combined.

🚨 最新報告｜2024年に日本の製鉄所へ搬入された石炭に紐づくメタンは、日本が報告する国内エネルギー部門のメタン排出量の「4倍超」📉

Emberの最新分析では、日本の高炉製鉄所11カ所に搬入された石炭の採掘時に、推計30万8,000トンのメタンが放出されたとしています。

🚨 NEW | Coal delivered to Japan's steel mills in 2024 carried MORE THAN QUADRUPLE the country’s reported energy sector methane 📉

Ember estimates that 308 kt of CH4 was released during mining of the coal used in 11 blast-furnace steel mills in Japan.

NEW | Coal mine #methane emissions will lead to an estimated 26,400 preventable deaths over coming decades 🫁

Methane drifts across continents, reacting with sunlight to form ground-level ozone – a respiratory toxin with no safe exposure limit ☢️🌐

The fossil fuel share of final energy has already peaked across most of China’s industrial sectors.

In light manufacturing, electricity now supplies THREE-QUARTERs of the sector’s final energy consumption ⚡

As EU energy ministers meet this week, a new poll of ~6,000 people across six EU countries – 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱🇳🇱🇨🇿 – finds NO majority for delaying the EU Methane Regulation.

Keeping the rules on schedule is the most popular position and support grows as voters learn more 👥

Solar is meeting a growing share of global electricity, but delivering almost all of it at midday ☀️

Join Ember's Kostantsa Rangelova at the World Energy Storage Conference to unpack how batteries change that – bringing clean power to non-sunny hours.

Off-grid captive power is powering Indonesia’s industrial facilities in remote regions – yet they are overwhelmingly coal-fired.

Ember estimates that captive power supplied 161 TWh of electricity to Indonesia’s industrial sector in 2025 – 12% more than official accounts.

#MethaneMonday | Japan built the playbook for methane transparency in imported gas, then left coal out of it, despite steelmakers’ coal carrying ~308 kt of methane a year – 4.6x Japan’s reported domestic energy sector methane 🇯🇵💨
