How Interest Rate Comments from Powell Could Impact Clean-Energy Investment

Comments from U.S. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell during a recent news conference could have an impact on green-energy investment this year. Shortly after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting held in early May, 2024, Powell said that the Federal Reserve was unlikely to raise benchmark interest rates this year but noted that policymakers weren't in a rush to lower interest rates from 5.25%–5.5% either. When asked when the Fed might finally cut benchmark interest rates, Powell said he had no idea how long it would take. As it stands, the nascent renewables market's growth is significantly dependent on interest…

Report Says Renewables Now Supply Some 30% of Global Electricity Demand

A new report has revealed that more than 30% of the electricity generated globally is generated using renewables. Unsurprisingly, the report from energy think tank Ember noted that the European Union’s renewable energy use is well ahead of this 30% average, putting the regional bloc on track to achieving its green-energy goals. According to Ember's report, significant growth in the solar- and wind-energy generation segments have been instrumental in achieving this rate of clean-energy generation. It covered 82 countries, which are currently responsible for almost 90% of global energy demand, as well as historic data from 215 additional nations. Report…

As EV Uptake in China and US Grows, Demand Growth for Gasoline Will Slow

Analysts say global demand growth for petrol could drop by 50% this year as the transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) speeds up in major markets such as the United States and China. Additionally, refiners will likely see a dip in their second-half earnings as petrol consumption returns to normal levels after experiencing an abnormal surge in demand in 2023. BEVs have been around for more than a decade as potential alternatives to fossil-fuel vehicles, but their high upfront costs put them out of reach for most of the consumer market. Although most automakers are now working to develop affordable…

EU to Support Seven Hydrogen Projects with 720M Euros in Funding

The European Commission is set to provide up to $775.6 million in subsidy funding for green-hydrogen projects chosen under the European Hydrogen Bank initiative. As the European Union continues work to hasten its transition from polluting fossil fuels to renewable alternatives, the initiative will help to build up domestic renewable hydrogen production within the EU. Selected under the initiative's first auction, the seven green-hydrogen projects will aid in efforts to decarbonize European industry by producing renewable hydrogen to be used in energy-intensive industries such as chemicals, steel, fertilizers and maritime transport, the European Commission says.
