European power system adequacy tested as energy mix shifts

European power adequacy is being tested as the energy mix shifts away from coal and other thermal capacity, raising concerns over whether replacement investment will be sufficient to maintain system reliability. European power system adequacy is under increasing pressure as the energy mix transitions away from coal and other thermal generation. The ERAA 2025 assessment highlights a significant decline in […]

Chart comparing coal mine methane emission estimates across top countries showing large differences between reported and independent data

Global coal mine methane emissions remain high as reporting gaps mask true scale

Global coal mine methane emissions remain stubbornly high even as coal production continues to rise, highlighting a growing disconnect between output and emissions control. With the majority of emissions still unreported and low-cost abatement options widely available, the true scale of global coal mine methane emissions is likely significantly underestimated. Global coal mine methane emissions remain largely unchanged despite rising […]

Australia coal emissions decline driven by disruption not abatement

Australia coal emissions are falling, but the decline is being driven by mine disruptions, lower production and increased reliance on offsets rather than genuine methane abatement, raising questions over the integrity of reported emissions cuts. Australia coal emissions continue to trend downward, but the decline is primarily linked to operational disruptions at major underground mines and reduced coal output rather […]
