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.”

Taking a closer look at AI’s supposed energy apocalypse

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.

UN says a global ‘backlash’ against climate action is being stoked by fossil fuel companies

Het wereldwijde gebruik van fossiele brandstoffen bereikte in 2023 een nieuw record. Dat blijkt uit een rapport van het Energy Institute, de Britse beroepsorganisatie voor werknemers in de energie-industrie. Ook de uitstoot van de energie-industrie was nog nooit zo hoog.

This essay takes up and extends an analysis of the ambitions of the energy transition presented during the conference entitled “L’erreur fondamentale de la transition”, held in Lausanne in December 2022, at the annual Switzerland ShiftersDay. The intervention questioned the conceptualization of energy transition, given possible inaccuracies, or errors in the categorization of reality. It is not certain that the energy contained in the wind, solar radiation, or atoms is equivalent to hydrocarbon energy for human societalneeds. Although all energies are theoretically convertible into one another, the assumption that any type of energy can always be replaced by another is likely to prove false. An energy transition based on the substitution of energies would then be inconceivable.

Le Premier ministre Alexander De Croo était l’invité de Maxime Binet sur LN24 ce jeudi 21 mars 2024. A l'occasion du premier "Nuclear Energy Summit" en Belgique, il a insisté sur la présence du nucléaire dans un mix énergétique décarboné en Belgique.

Global investment in the clean energy transition grew by 17% in 2023, showing resilience despite geopolitical tensions, high interest rates, and inflation. But was it enough to keep the world on track to hit net zero by 2050? To answer this question, we compare 2023 clean energy investment by sector with what’s annually needed to reach net zero by 2050, in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council.

A new record high, but is there light at the end of the tunnel?

Le navire-laboratoire Energy Observer, premier navire capable de produire son propre hydrogène, fait escale cette semaine en Floride, dans le sud-est des États-Unis, dernier pays qu'il visitera avant de revenir en France pour achever un tour du monde entamé en 2020.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have been the subject of endless hype in recent years but in fact, no SMRs have ever been built, none are being built now and in all likelihood none will ever be built because of the prohibitive costs. SMRs are defined as reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW) or less with serial factory production of reactor components (or ‘modules’). No SMRs have been built, but dozens of small (<300 MW) power reactors have been built in numerous countries, without factory production of reactor components.

L'énergéticien allemand Siemens Energy a annoncé jeudi être en discussions avec l'Etat allemand pour obtenir des garanties afin de l'aider à surmonter ses problèmes dans l'éolien, ce qui a provoqué un plongeon du titre en Bourse.La direction du groupe "mène des discussions préliminaires avec diverses parties, notamment les banques (...) et le gouvernement fédéral" en vue d'obtenir "un volume croissant de garanties", a-t-il indiqué dans un communiqué.

Sweden formally renounces EU net zero roadmap championed by the likes of Germany.

A new climate case was filed this week. Multnomah County, the Oregon county that includes Portland, filed suit against several oil majors for their role in exacerbating the climate change that led to the county's "heat dome" in June 2021, which killed 69 people. But the case doesn't just place

Major fossil fuel entities and trade associations including Koch Industries, the American Petroleum Institute, and the Western States Petroleum Association, as well as consulting behemoth McKinsey & Company, were slapped with the latest climate liability lawsuit today with the filing of a complaint in the Oregon Circuit Court in Multnomah County, Oregon.

A major reason for the growth in the use of renewable energy is the fact that if a person looks at them narrowly enough--such as by using a model--wind and solar look to be useful. They don't burn fossil fuels, so it appears that they might be helpful to the environment. Energy modeling misses important points. I believe that profitability signals are much more important.

Le géant gazier du Qatar, Qatar Energy, a annoncé mardi l'attribution d'un contrat de 10 milliards de dollars à une co-entreprise entre la société française Technip Energies et Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC). Le contrat d'une valeur "d'environ 10 milliards de dollars" prévoit "la construction de deux trains de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) d'une capacité de production totale de 16 millions de tonnes par an" dans le champ de North Field South (NFS), a indiqué la compagnie dans un communiqué.
