Heterogeneous Effects of Green Finance on Urban Decarbonization: Evidence from 285 Cities in China

Explainer: What is electrification – and why is the EU betting its future on it?
Electrifying the European Union's transport and industry sectors largely depends on upgraded power grids and storage capacity. European Union leaders are increasingly championing electrification as the answer to some of the bloc's biggest challenges: high energy prices, industrial competitiveness and the transition away from fossil fuels. But achieving that goal will require massive investment in ageing power grids and energy storage systems, which many policymakers warn are not yet fit for...
A €100 billion queue: Why Europeans are waiting years for clean energy

More than €100 billion of renewables are stuck in Europe’s outdated energy grid, as communities across the continent wait years for solar panels and heat pumps. A new report by consulting group AFRY, commissioned by non-profit Beyond Fossil Fuels, found that a staggering 375 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy projects and 455 GW of battery storage projects are trapped in...
