• [New] Most countries have already set ambitious goals for reducing energy use in existing buildings and, e.g., the EU has set a goal to have a completely decarbonized building stock by 2050. / MDPI
• [New] All new and existing buildings demonstrate improvements in lifecycle energy efficiency, targeting net zero operational carbon emissions in all new buildings by 2030, and net zero embodied carbon in all new buildings by 2050 (including emissions from equivalent greenhouse gases, specifically HFCs). / World Green Building Council
• [New] In the short term, as the rate of coal-to-gas switching reverses, it's likely the declining CO2 emissions trend will change. / Pennsylvania Business Report
• [New] While short-term increases in the price of natural gas may result in more coal-fired electricity generation, by 2022, both natural gas and coal will lose a portion of their shares of generation to renewables. / Pennsylvania Business Report
• [New] WIND: Xcel Energy plans to acquire two recently repowered wind projects in Minnesota that will produce a total of 120 MW of capacity. / Energy News Network
• [New] There are many oil and gas workers looking to enter the renewables sector and Scotland will need to improve its industrial base and build local supply chains in order to provide new economic opportunities for them and for Scotland as a whole. / The Royal Society of Edinburgh
• [New] The decisions countries like China and India make in the coming years around whether they continue to mine and consume coal will have a huge impact on the global trajectory. / ScienceDaily
• [New] The Biden administration could expand sanctions to include any export of U.S. technology, including separate components and replacement parts, for use by a Russian oil and gas company. / Australian Times News
• [New] Another objective for increased sanctions might be the huge oil and gas project near Sakhalin Island in Russia's Far East. / The World from PRX
• [New] A smaller niche between 100-150 seats, which includes its A220 and Embraer E2, would use electric power, hydrogen and/or SAF from 2040, while only regional 50-100 seaters would be ready for hydrogen in the 2030s. / The Japan Times
• [New] In June last year, France announced an increase in funding for the CORAC aviation research body including 1.5 billion euros over three years for technology such as hydrogen, rescuing 500 out of 15,000 jobs threatened by an Airbus restructuring. / Reuters
• [New] If consensus is not reached or the final result is insufficient to meet the emission reduction targets set by the IMO, then pressure will increase for regional action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of international shipping, both in Europe and beyond. / liikenne- ja viestintaministerio
• [New] Carbon transition is the biggest environmental risk for thermal coal companies, especially in the US, which is driven by growing global demand and policy support for less carbon-intensive and cleaner energy. / Mining.com
• [New] Aside from generating electricity, the new wind turbines could help kickstart the green hydrogen and green ammonia industries in Louisiana. / CleanTechnica
• [New] The United States' ambitious plans to develop the offshore wind sector over the next two decades are helping to create new opportunities in the shipbuilding and shipping sectors to support the installation and maintenance of the offshore wind farms. / The Maritime Executive
• [New] The demand and supply shocks of crude oil prices have little influence to the volatilities of all new energy stock markets, but the risk shock of crude oil prices has a certain influence to the volatilities of the new energy stock markets in China and United States. / Frontiers
• [New] When crude prices fall rapidly, crude oil price risk shock has little impact on the United State's new energy market but has the greatest impact on China's new energy market. / Frontiers
• [New] The impacts of crude oil demand shock, supply shock and risk shock on China's new energy market are relatively small during most of the study sample. / Frontiers
• [New] The risk shock has a great impact on the new energy market of the United States but a small impact on the new energy market of China. / Frontiers
• [New] 4) The crude oil demand shock and supply shock have little impact on any new energy market volatilities, but the effects of crude oil risk shocks to China and the United States' new energy market volatilities are 2.44% and 3.14%, respectively. / Frontiers
• [New] The hump in headline inflation in 2021 reflects upward effects on inflation from temporary factors such as the reversal of the German VAT rate cut, the rebound in the energy inflation rate amid strong base effects, and an increase in input costs related to supply disruptions. / SURPERFORMANCE
