HSBC recently published a report stating that the risk of new fossil fuel projects becoming stranded assets is far bigger than we may think. We investigate the predictions and the potential implications on future investment in new coal, oil and gas fired plants.
The UK’s renewable energy industry faces challenging times ahead. We look into decisions by the new government to remove the exemption to the Climate Change Levy for renewable producers and to end subsidies for new onshore wind farms a year earlier than originally planned. Also in the UK, we find out what impacts an exit from the EU could have on the energy industry.
Moreover, we investigate Transatomic Power’s claim that its molten salt reactor can "save the world with nuclear power" and look into China’s rapid development of its nuclear industry. Plus, looking at the winners of the 2015 Ashden Awards, we find out how organisations are working with communities to bring about long-term change.
