Les commandes à Siemens Energy ont atteint un "nouveau record" au premier trimestre de son exercice décalé 2025/2026, en raison de la forte demande en électricité liée à l'IA, a annoncé mercredi l'équipementier énergétique allemand.

When a series of power outages hit Europe last year, the finger of blame was quickly – and falsely – pointed to an unlikely source: renewables. Blackouts are being used as a political tool to oppose the energy transition. But they can also become an opportunity for open discussions about energy infrastructure – a topic too often reserved only for technical audiences.

L'équipementier énergétique allemand Siemens Energy a annoncé mardi un plan d'investissement d'un milliard de dollars et la création de 1 500 emplois aux États-Unis, pour répondre à la forte demande en électricité liée à l'IA.

Short-Term Energy Outlook

87%. That’s how much the emissions of NVIDIA (worth 5 trillion dollars) increased in 2024, as an article from TruthDig is one of the only sources in the world to point out. This means it became the world’s most valuable company by answering soaring demand for AI… whilst doubling its carbon footprint. Not to mention water: Samsung’s next ‘mega-cluster’ of GPU fabs will consume half of Seoul’s water, says the same article.

Watchdog’s flagship report says rise in low-carbon electricity will make transition ‘inevitable’, despite Trump’s calls to carry on drilling

The planet is nearing dangerous limits. Yet progress on clean energy shows what’s possible. With political will, cooperation can still avert the worst of the climate crisis

Much attention today focuses on uncertainties affecting the future evolution of oil and natural gas demand, with less consideration given to how the supply picture could develop. However, understanding decline rates – the annual rate at which production declines from existing oil and gas fields – is crucial for assessing the outlook for oil and gas supply and, by extension, for market balances. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has long examined this issue, and a detailed understanding of decline rates is at the heart of IEA modelling and analysis, underpinning the insights provided by the scenarios in the World Energy Outlook. This new report – based on analysis of the production records of around 15 000 oil and gas fields around the world – explores the implications of accelerating decline rates, growing reliance on unconventional resources, and evolving project development patterns for the global oil and gas supply landscape, for energy security and for investment. It also provides regional insights

Verso energy va fournir à l'industrie sidérurgique de la Sarre, en Allemagne, de l'hydrogène produit en Moselle à partir d'électricité "verte", ont annoncé vendredi l'énergéticien français et le groupe sidérurgique allemand SHS (Stahl-Holding-Saar), qui pourra ainsi décarboner sa production. Lors d'une conférence de presse à Dillingen, dans la Sarre, Verso energy et SHS ont annoncé avoir signé un contrat qui prévoit la fourniture d'au moins 6.000 tonnes d'hydrogène sur une période de dix ans à compter de 2029. Cela s'inscrit dans la stratégie de décarbonation du groupe allemand, qui entend remplacer le charbon par l'hydrogène dans son processus de fabrication de l'acier.

According to Carbon Tracker’s analysis, fossil fuel companies are cutting capital investment, slashing exploration, and paying record dividends — like Saudi Aramco’s $10 billion payout — rather than building future growth. It’s a strategy that signals retreat, not resilience. “The energy transition isn’t being led by incumbents,” Mark Campanale warns. “It’s happening around them.”

La préfecture de Gironde a confirmé samedi le rejet par l'État d'un projet de huit nouveaux forages pétroliers près d'Arcachon, en prenant une arrêté de refus d'autorisation de travaux. La demande de forages était portée par le groupe canadien Vermilion Energy, titulaire jusqu'au 1er janvier 2035 d'une concession exploitée depuis les années 1960 sur la commune de la Teste-de-Buch, près d'Arcachon, dont la forêt avait été ravagée par des incendies monstres à l'été 2022.

L'américain Constellation Energy, grand opérateur de centrales nucléaires aux Etats-Unis, a passé un accord pour fournir durant 20 ans à Meta de l'énergie produite par sa centrale nucléaire de Clinton (Illinois), a-t-il annoncé mardi.

Clean-energy sectors drove a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2024 and have overtaken real-estate sales in value. The new sector-by-sector analysis for Carbon Brief, based on official figures, industry data and analyst reports, shows the growing role of clean technology in China’s economy – particularly the so-called “new three” industries, namely, solar, electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries.

The results of one election can’t stop the momentum of the energy transition. But they can do a lot of damage.

A Trump presidency can delay, but not stop, the global transition to renewable energy, but it may more effectively stymie progress than during his first term.
