White papersCould green hydrogen be the hero of net zero?
Green hydrogen has been put at the centre of many net-zero initiatives for good reason. Also known, on account of its versatility, as the Swiss army knife of long-term decarbonisation, it can provide turnkey solutions for those industries where greenhouse gas emissions are harder to suppress – solutions which can be seen as critical if climate goals are to be met. Edward Lees and Ulrik Fugmann explain.

White papersAdapting to a volatile energy transition
It has happened again. Since 2002, the IEA has consistently been under-forecasting the pace of solar power adoption. In 2023, solar power capacity additions are – you guessed it – again beating its predictions: they are 24% higher than the IEA said just six months ago and double what it expected in 2020. We believe this illustrates that the adoption of sustainable technologies such as solar energy continues to accelerate.
