Characterizing waste to cut emissions in Latin America
The waste sector is the third largest source of methane emissions, accounting for nearly 20% of global methane emissions. Most of this methane is produced from the decomposition of the degradable fraction of municipal waste in final disposal sites like sanitary landfills, open dumps, and controlled landfills. Tackling this problem…

Energising the EU: How Nuclear Energy Can Help Decarbonise European Industry
Heavy industries account for over half of Europe’s energy consumption, much of which goes toward heat production – a sector that still widely uses fossil fuels and is thus a major risk to the EU’s ability to decarbonise. Emissions from heavy industries are mostly attributed to high-temperature heat and round-the-clock…

The EU energy transition needs to look beyond LCOE Factsheet
Europe’s power system is undergoing a rapid transformation to meet the intertwined challenges of decarbonisation, affordability, and energy security. Ubiquitous, simple, standardised tools like Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) are widely used by policymakers to compare energy technologies and guide investment decisions. LCOE is not without its limitations, as outlined…

Geologic Hydrogen in Context
Hydrogen is a critical feedstock that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry, heavy-duty trucking, maritime shipping, and aviation. As the world moves to decarbonize hydrogen production, a lesser-known hydrogen source is beginning to draw serious attention: geologic hydrogen. Sometimes…

Nuclear Energy Orderbooks 101: Enabling Cost-Effective Nuclear Deployment in Europe
EU Member States expect to deploy at least 60 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2050 to meet its climate and energy security goals. But without greater coordination, the bloc risks a fragmented rollout of new nuclear energy: duplicated efforts, spiralling costs, underinvested supply chains, and project delays. A nuclear…

Solar-Enabling Zoning Ordinances in the Southwest
The vast majority of siting and permitting regulations are established at the county and municipal level through zoning ordinances. These local policies play a critical role in enabling or inhibiting – intentionally or unintentionally – solar energy development. Across the southwest, counties are considering revising or drafting ordinances for the…
