Lenders back Johor-Singapore renewable energy corridor
DBS Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) are partnering with Ditrolic Energy Holdings to establish a financing framework for the USD6 billion Southern Johor Renewable Energy Corridor (SJREC), which aims to supply renewable electricity from Johor, Malaysia, to Singapore. Under a memorandum of understanding the parties will assess financing requirements, regulatory approvals, power transmission arrangements and risk allocation.

The shift to clean energy is now irreversible: United Nations’ Simon Steill
The Action Agenda is a vital part of the work ahead. It's where business, investors, governments, cities and regions, and many more, come together to deliver real economy actions. In other words, it’s the fast lane to more implementation. Key to helping countries to put their national climate plans into practice. And there is value in strengthening it within the international process, to complement negotiations, which will remain front and centre. Getting almost 200 countries to agree on every word is incredibly hard but incredibly important. No single COP can fix this global crisis, but each takes meaningful steps forward.

How Texas Leads the Next Generation of Energy Exports
Texas’s pro-development environment has helped make it a global energy leader. Maintaining that leadership as markets evolve will require applying the same approach to the next generation of energy and industrial infrastructure. As these markets shift, continuing to ensure the diversity of industries and energy types – including electricity, hydrogen, and carbon capture – can allow innovators and incumbents to expand their business in the state. This means enabling investment in electricity generation and transmission; hydrogen, ammonia, SAF, and methanol production; and hydrogen and CO2 pipelines and storage.

Building Climate Resilience: De-risking India’s Power Assets
As India continues to expand its renewable capacity, ensuring the resilience of both new and existing infrastructure will become increasingly important. Much of the country’s legacy power infrastructure was designed using historical weather patterns, which may no longer reflect both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events today. Upgrading these assets, alongside incorporating climate risks into new projects, will therefore be essential. Climate-risk assessments should, therefore, become a routine. These challenges are not unique to India, as countries worldwide need to balance climate-proofing their energy infrastructure with clean energy deployment.

Canada’s National Electricity Strategy: Transmission at the core of a more connected grid
Canada is positioning electricity infrastructure as a central pillar of its economic, energy security and industrial strategy, with transmission emerging as one of the most important areas for investment. In May 2026, the country’s prime minister announced the National Electricity Strategy, setting an ambition to double the capacity of Canada’s electricity grid by 2050 through new infrastructure and accelerate electrification to support competitiveness and decarbonisation, while maintaining Canada’s existing advantage of a predominantly non-emitting and relatively low-cost electricity system.

Belgium’s Elia: Building Next-Gen Offshore Grid Infrastructure
Elia Transmission Belgium (ETB), a subsidiary of Belgium’s transmission system operator (TSO) Elia, has one of the most well-connected grids with its neighbouring countries including France, the Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg. In addition to these four neighbouring countries, Belgium is also interconnected via a subsea cable to the UK through the Nemo Link. Driven by ambitious national climate targets and European Union (EU) energy integration goals, Elia is undertaking a major expansion of its onshore and offshore high-voltage grid. A flagship investment is the Princess Elisabeth Island (PEI) energy hub in the North Sea, being built 45 km off the Belgian coast, which will unlock new Belgian offshore wind (OSW) capacity and enable a future electricity interconnector with the UK.

Clean Fuels in Latin America and the Caribbean: Paper
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has the feedstock and industrial assets to strengthen its position as a leading clean fuels producer and expand beyond established biofuels into numerous pathways, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel, biomethane and synthetic fuels. The paper “Scaling Clean Fuels in Latin America and the Caribbean” published by World Economic Forum examines what it will take to move the region from potential to scale structured around three areas: where the opportunity lies, what is holding it back, and which practical steps would accelerate the industry in the region.

What explains the cost advantage of Chinese electrolysers?
China is the global leader in electrolysis, and competition among manufacturers is fierce. Interest in electrolysers – a critical technology for producing low-emissions hydrogen – has surged in recent years, with global deployment reaching a record of 4 gigawatts (GW) in 2025, up from nearly 300 megawatts (MW) just five years earlier. The vast majority of deployment has taken place in China, which currently accounts for two-thirds of global installed electrolyser capacity, in addition to two-thirds of capacity that has reached a final investment decision.
