Green hydrogen and green ammonia, compressed-air energy storage and sustainable aviation fuel... across the globe, a whole variety of pioneering energy transition projects are starting to take shape, ready to help shift the planet to a greener future By Jack Boggis, Energy Analyst, EIC UK
Soaring global demand for data generation is driving unprecedented growth in electricity consumption.
As AI and data centre growth accelerate, the race is on to secure reliable and sustainable power while balancing cost, environmental impact and technological innovation. From natural gas expansions and massive solar projects to nuclear small modular reactors, the global energy sector is adapting to fuel the data-driven age By Neil Golding, director of market intelligence, eic uk
The outlook for the energy sector was promising ahead of 2025.
Energy in 2025 was defined by shifting priorities – governments recalibrating policy, investors chasing stability and markets reacting to global tensions and rising demand.
