Clean Electrification in EU: Briefing

Clean Electrification in EU: Briefing

November 13, 2026 | ,

The EU’s electrification action plan pursues ambitious targets, and the Turkish presidency of the COP31 climate conference has proposed a target to electrify 35 % of the world economy by 2035. Electrification targets set the direction for energy and industrial policies. The EU electrification action plan lays down an indicative electrification target for the EU economy: 46 % of final energy use in 2040 should come from electricity, double today’s rate of electrification. Electrification requires massive investment in clean power plants, grids and storage capacities. EU electricity grids will need an estimated investment of €1.3 trillion over the 2024‑2040 period.

How Texas Leads the Next Generation of Energy Exports

How Texas Leads the Next Generation of Energy Exports

November 11, 2026 |

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

Building Climate Resilience: De-risking India’s Power Assets

November 11, 2026 | ,

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.
