???? With #COP30 set to take place in #Brazil?later this year, the country’s energy and industrial transition – and its role in the global climate agenda – are in the spotlight. As demand for sustainable materials, green hydrogen derivatives and clean supply chains grows, Brazil has a unique opportunity to leverage its vast renewable resources and bioeconomy expertise for a competitive, low-carbon future. ? This upcoming webinar will explore the most impactful near-term clean energy policy opportunities to drive sustainable growth, job creation and international competitiveness. ? Frank Peter, Director of Foresight and Research at the Agora Think Tanks, will join the panel to discuss how Brazil can position itself as a leader in clean industry while revitalising its industrial base and ensuring a #justtransition. ? ??

?? [Issue Brief]?Offshore grid governance: a prerequisite for timely offshore wind deployment South Korea plans to install?14.3GW of offshore wind power by 2030?and approximately?30GW by 2036. However, transmitting electricity generated far offshore to onshore grids requires?high costs and complex technologies. Without a clear designation of responsibilities for?building, operating, and investing?in offshore grids, conflicts and inefficiencies in offshore wind development may arise. NEXT group has published an?issue brief?emphasizing that South Korea can no longer delay the establishment of offshore grid governance suited to its specific circumstances. ??? Key Points ? Offshore grid governance is generally categorized into three models:?TSO-led (Transmission System Operator), developer-led, and OFTO-led (Offshore Transmission Owner). ? The UK follows an?OFTO-led?model, emphasizing competition, while Germany and Denmark have adopted a?TSO-led?approach to achieve economies of scale. ? Leading countries are developing offshore grid governance in alignment with?meshed offshore grid systems, which interconnect offshore substations. However, Korea has yet to engage in meaningful discussions on this issue. ??For more details: https://lnkd.in/eccqAhxP

What can the European Union learn from the United Kingdom’s EV success in 2024? ???? ? From 2020 to 2023, the UK electric car market lagged Germany’s. However, in 2024, the trend reversed—the UK surpassed Germany in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales.? ? With a ????19% market share compared with ????Germany’s 13%, the UK secured the top spot in BEV sales share among large European countries and was also the top market for BEV volume, despite having a smaller car market.? ? A lesson for others: Sticking to predictable and consistent targets drives success in the EV market.? ? At the heart of the UK’s progress is the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.? ? This flagship policy is designed to boost the #EV sector. It sets annual targets for ZEV sales on manufacturers to support steady market growth.? ? Our latest analysis explores these developments in greater detail, and looks at where the EU and the UK have room to improve in 2025:? https://lnkd.in/dyE-MvJw ?

Join leading experts on March 19 to learn about the policies Brazil can adopt right now to demonstrate climate leadership ahead of #COP30.

Marcel Martin, Managing Director of?ICCT Brasil, explains in this Crux Alliance video why working in the transport sector is crucial for Brazil to achieve its climate goals.??? ???? ? While Brazil has a predominantly renewable electricity matrix, transport remains the largest source of emissions within the energy sector. Beyond the climate impact, vehicle emissions compromise air quality and public health. ? Programs like MOVER and PROCONVE were created to boost the sector’s efficiency, but is Brazil truly leveraging its potential to align the automotive industry with global trends? A lack of more ambitious policies could jeopardize our competitiveness, exports, and the country’s position in the international market. ? ???Watch the video to understand the challenges and opportunities for decarbonizing transport in Brazil.
