GEM is entering a new era of leadership.

Incoming ED Justin Locke sat down with founder Ted Nace to share his career journey, first impressions of GEM, and thoughts on the road ahead.

This conversation marks an important chapter as we welcome Justin into this role.
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.

New analysis: 20 #PrivateEquity firms now control 60 GW of gas power — emitting 82 Mt CO₂ each year, about as much as 17 million U.S. homes.

As #AI drives up electricity demand, PE is betting big on gas. #ClimateCrisis

New data from our Global #CoalPlant Tracker is out. A few key trends:

📉 Countries w/coal power under dev't hit a record low — only 33 remain since the Paris Agreement.

🛢 In 2025, U.S. #LNG developers took FIDs on 5 export projects — adding 59 mtpa, w/more proposals.

Analysts warn it could tighten U.S. gas supply & raise costs for power, industry & heating — fueling an oversupplied global market.

➡️ W/6 GW of new projects planned, its pipeline is triple the capacity of Brazil — which holds 2nd place — and equal to the combined pipelines of 🇧🇷, 🇯🇵, 🇬🇧 & 🇻🇳.

Do fossil fuel companies invest in renewables as much as they say they do? Are they part of the solution yet?
No.
They might pledge to do better, but new @globalenergymon.bsky.social research shows just 1.8% of renewable assets in 🇪🇺 are owned by these companies.

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.

🌍 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

Who really owns 🇦🇺 ’s fossil fuel projects?

A new GEM analysis shows nominee branches of JP Morgan, Citibank & HSBC are listed as shareholders for 50+ coal, oil & gas projects obscuring project ownership.

Taiwan’s energy mix is shifting fast. Can a renewables-led blueprint outpace gas in delivering secure, climate-aligned power?

Aiqun Yu and Cheng Cheng Wu from @globalenergymon.bsky.social argue for a renewables-forward blueprint to reduce gas dependency.
After Nuclear, Renewables Can Power an Energy-secure Taiwan
After last month's defeat of a proposal to revive the country’s last nuclear power plant, Taiwan now has to decide its future energy mix.

GEM’s Oil & Gas data helped inform this important analysis from @ceebankwatch.bsky.social and @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social on why gas is a dead end for the Western Balkans.

Give it a read 👇
🚨 Western Balkans govts are pushing fossil gas pipelines with an annual import capacity of 10.5 billion cubic metres. These could triple their dependence — or end up as stranded assets.
New report with @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social explains why gas is a dead end.

Australia’s nuclear sector is unlikely to take off.

A moratorium, high costs, & long dev't timelines all limit nuclear’s role in the country’s energy transition.

W/coal set to be phased out by '38, wind & solar are positioned to lead the shift.
