✔️China has cut emissions intensity by 50% over two decades — yet still accounts for ~30% of global emissions ❌
✔️China installed 1,300+ GW of #renewables in 5 years — yet #Coal still supplies over half its energy ❌
#Spain faces a fiscal contradiction: #Renewable fuel is taxed at the same rate as Conventional fuel, even though renewable fuel reduce emissions by up to 87%, according to findings verified by the #TourdEurope initiative @aice_es

@IRENA projects cumulative global PV-project waste could exceed 200 million tonnes by 2050
Imagine the implications in terms of energy demand if this countries converge!! #AC #EnergyDemand #axiosam
Global #DataCentres consumed around 485 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2025 (1.5% of total worldwide generation) according to #IEA
It has almost doubled from 2020 (12% CAGR and X4 faster than electricity consumption as a whole)
US represents 47%, China 24%, EU 15%
#Renewables have solved the Cost problem but now they face a Value problem. As #wind & #solar penetration rises, large volumes of power are produced at the same time and as a result capture prices fall, curtailment increases, and producer revenues decline and investors struggle
More #VentureCapital dollars were invested in U.S. companies during the first half of 2026 than in any previous full year, according to @axios US companies raised $412.7 billion between January and June 2026.

In 2025 global investments in #DataCenters amounted $771b compared with $798b in #Renewables and $835b in #Oil&Gas Source is @axios @RystadEnergy
#Hormuz disruption is affecting #fertilizer production and agricultural supply chains. In #India, 30 of 32 #urea plants rely on #naturalgas as feedstock, approximately 80% of which comes from #LNG imports .
#Blackwell the new @nvidia chip is hitting the market today generates up to 50 times more performance per watt compared to #Hopper, Nvidia's first big AI chip, introduced in 2022. Technology development makes the difference
