Electric vehicle sales in Indonesia have experienced remarkable growth over the past few quarters. From fewer than 150 units sold in 2020, EV sales have surged in recent years, particularly during the first and second quarters (Q1 and Q2) of 2025. Quarterly sales reached approximately 22,000 units in Q2 2025. EV uptake has been concentrated in the passenger car segment; in contrast, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) have shown minimal electric model penetration to date.

Moeve and Pretium Renovables have entered into an agreement to develop between four and six biomethane plants in Spain. Each plant is planned with an estimated annual production capacity of 60 GWh. The projects are expected to be rolled out across multiple regions, with Andalusia identified as the priority area for initial development. Each biomethane plant is projected to offset 14,600 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Brazil’s endowment of renewable energy resources provides an opportunity to progress the PNF domestic production goals with cost-competitive low-carbon fertilizer production. Analysis indicates green ammonia and fertilizer prices are cost-competitive with blue and grey in some locations with favorable conditions. There is a clear need for bold, early action with effective levers to overcome the challenges and bring this opportunity to reality to transform Brazil’s fertilizer supply from import-dependent to self-sustaining, competitive, and climate-aligned.

ACCIONA Energía has started supplying renewable electricity to the grid from its Logrosan biomass power plant located in Cáceres, Spain. The plant has an installed capacity of 50 MW and is expected to generate around 380 GWh of electricity annually. The plant was awarded under the third renewable energy economic regime auction conducted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

Brazil recently published a new climate plan for public consultation, the Plano Clima Mitigação Estratégia Nacional, a mitigation and adaptation strategy defining key policies and sector-specific targets for the next 10 years (to 2035). The mitigation plans highlight electric vehicles (EVs) and biofuels as central to decarbonizing transportation but do not include clear electrification targets or guidelines on how to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This research brief seeks to determine the most effective pathway for mitigating road transport GHG emissions in Brazil.

Electric utilities and their regulators in areas with high electricity rates face tension between being obligated to support decarbonization and electrification objectives but also keep rates affordable for consumers. These competing objectives create an information gap and can slow down decision-making for regulators, utilities, and businesses. The brief finds that the estimated total cost of a small depot charging facility prototype is $7.9 million, a medium charging facility is $15.4 million, and a large prototype has a total cost of $15 million.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I (CI ABF I), has made the final investment decision for the acquisition of a combined pre-treatment and biogas facility from Ørsted in Northwich, UK. The facility currently includes a pre-treatment unit for municipal solid waste and a biogas plant generating electricity for the grid. CIP plans to refurbish and convert the facility into a dedicated biogas plant.

The City of Seattle and Seattle City Light have made supporting transportation electrification a core priority for the years ahead. Although still nascent, ZE-MHDVs have the potential to be a significant source of new load for City Light because fleets serving the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma are expected to electrify over the next 10–15 years. This brief assesses existing strategic plans guiding City Light’s approach to transportation electrification.

Brazil’s experience, particularly with bioethanol, exemplifies a compelling model for sustainable decarbonisation. It offers a low-cost and competitive pathway, significantly contributing to global energy transitions. By fostering market competition through a conducive regulatory environment and strategically employing tax policies to influence fuel consumption, Brazil actively supports the shift towards biofuels. This report focuses on the Brazilian experience and perspectives on ethanol, biodiesel and some advanced biofuels.

In 2024, EU production of biogases increased 3%. Growth was modest in biogas (1% year on year), but significantly higher for biomethane (14% year on year). The production of biogas, used primarily for electricity and CHP generation, is highly concentrated in Germany (53% of EU production). Following a period of decline, interest in biogas is reviving. Overall, achieving the EU 35-bcm target by 2030 will require a marked acceleration in growth across both mature and emerging markets.

Automakers are on track to meet the EU CO2 performance targets for new vehicles, relying mostly on electric cars as a compliance option. Among the major markets, EV uptake has been strong in Germany and France and has recently increased in Italy and Spain. Several smaller markets show particularly high EV market shares. Building up battery production and supply chains in Europe will require concerted efforts by governments and industry as well as market confidence.

The US electricity distribution grid is at a critical inflection point. Widespread electrification, especially of transportation is creating a surge in demand that is arriving quickly and unevenly. In key locations, such as warehouse districts, highway corridors, and dense urban zones, electric vehicle (EV) charging is poised to use a significant share of available grid capacity. Current connection speeds may delay activation of chargers, impeding access to clean mobility and potentially leading to further increases in costs for customers.
