In June, Masdar and Taqa, the Abu Dhabi National Energy Co., began commercial operations at the 2-gigawatt Dhafra solar plant, developed with partners Jinko Power Co. and Electricite de France SA’s renewables arm and formally inaugurated it on Thursday. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-20/g-20-nations-gave-670b-a-year-in-fossil-fuel-aid-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-20/g-20-nations-gave-670b-a-year-in-fossil-fuel-aid-bnef-chart Tue, 20 Jul 2021 10:02:00 GMT G-20 governments provided an average of $670 billion a year in direct support to coal, oil, gas and fossil-fueled power between 2015 and 2019. This funding totaled some $3.3 trillion over the five year period - enough to finance 4,232 gigawatts of new solar power plants, at today\'s prices. That is more than 3.5 times the size of the U.S. electricity mix. Furthermore, given the varying levels of transparency with which nations provide such funds, these figures are probably an under-count. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-15/g-7-nations-pledge-net-zero-target-for-2050-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-15/g-7-nations-pledge-net-zero-target-for-2050-bnef-chart Tue, 15 Jun 2021 15:15:20 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-23/new-climate-pledge-puts-u-s-in-league-of-eu-u-k-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-23/new-climate-pledge-puts-u-s-in-league-of-eu-u-k-bnef-chart Fri, 23 Apr 2021 11:07:14 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-20/u-k-eu-lead-g-20-nations-with-bold-climate-pledges-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-20/u-k-eu-lead-g-20-nations-with-bold-climate-pledges-bnef-chart Tue, 20 Apr 2021 12:58:52 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-19/biden-plan-grows-doesn-t-green-global-stimulus-pot-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-19/biden-plan-grows-doesn-t-green-global-stimulus-pot-bnef-chart Fri, 19 Mar 2021 13:15:10 GMT With passage of the American Rescue Plan, the U.S. has added $1.9 trillion to the roughly $14 trillion in economic relief governments globally are offering in response to Covid-19. So far, only 7% of the total is explicitly aimed at cutting harmful greenhouse gas emissions or aiding climate adaptation. The U.S. package adds no new funds to that. The vast majority of capital committed to date is not climate specific: disaster relief, aid for healthcare, wage subsidies and cross-sector funding. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-11/stimulus-approved-and-near-completion-as-of-dec-11-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-11/stimulus-approved-and-near-completion-as-of-dec-11-bnef-chart Fri, 11 Dec 2020 09:11:23 GMT National governments expanded by $66 billion their economic stimulus commitments allocated both to \'green\' and carbon-intensive sectors last month in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, just $11 billion was tagged to clean sectors such as renewables, EVs or energy efficiency, or is being promised to CO2-intensive industries with requirements that they decarbonize. As a result, approved green stimulus totals some $190 billion compared with $932 billion targeted at CO2-intensive sectors. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-11/new-government-commitments-to-green-stimulus-slow-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-11/new-government-commitments-to-green-stimulus-slow-bnef-chart Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:02:03 GMT https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-07/stimulus-approved-and-near-completion-as-of-july-31-bnef-chart https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-07/stimulus-approved-and-near-completion-as-of-july-31-bnef-chart Fri, 07 Aug 2020 13:21:23 GMT
