A five-year delay to the energy transition could see the global average temperature rise to 3-degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
China accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023, which pushed four Chinese wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEM) into the top five global rankings, a first for the sector. With a record of 16.3 gigawatts (GW) capacity installed, Goldwind maintained the leading position for the second consecutive year.
If high interest rates persist, transitioning to a net zero global economy will be even harder and more costly. The higher cost of borrowing negatively affects renewables and nascent technologies, compared to more established oil and gas, and metals and mining sectors, which remain somewhat insulated.
Global wind turbine order intake hit new highs in 2023 with 155 gigawatts (GW) procured for the year, an increase of 16 GW from 2022.
More than 100 gigawatts (GW) of global renewable energy capacity is expected to be tendered in 2024. With more than 60 GW to be offshore wind, the overall volume is set to grow as the year progresses and will match 2023 levels.
The future of low-carbon hydrogen hinges on global policymakers introducing regulations and subsidies that focus on the carbon intensity of the hydrogen produced rather than its colour.
Despite supply chain headwinds and price pressures, the global offshore wind sector saw significant growth in its mature pipeline, as late-stage pipeline mergers & acquisitions, turbine orders, and project financial investment decisions (FIDs) saw record activity in 2023. This has boosted the sector’s momentum into 2024.
Currently on target to reach a record-breaking 230 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar installations this year, China leads the global renewables market. This is more than double the number of US and Europe installations combined.
Large oil and gas reserves in the Middle East have resulted in especially low domestic energy prices and provide little incentive to transition to low carbon alternatives, according to Wood Mackenzie’s Middle East Energy Transition Outlook report.
After investing over US$130 billion into the solar industry in 2023, China will hold more than 80% of the world’s polysilicon, wafer, cell, and module manufacturing capacity from 2023 to 2026.
The global Battery Energy Storage Systems integrator market has grown increasingly competitive in 2022, with the top five global system integrators accounting for 62% of overall BESS shipments.
The global offshore wind supply chain will require US$ 27 billion of secured investment by 2026 if it is to meet a fivefold growth in annual installations (excluding China) by 2030, according to latest Horizons report by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
The top 10 global solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter vendors accounted for 86% of market share in 2022, increasing by 4% year-over-year since 2021, according to latest analysis by Wood Mackenzie, a global insight business for renewables, energy and natural resources.
How can India attain its net zero emissions goal by 2070, in line with global pledges to reach net zero emissions by mid-century? Wood Mackenzie analyses the scenario in its latest report ‘India energy transition pathways 2070’, concluding that the country must radically transform its energy landscape and prioritise renewable energy, electrification, hydrogen adoption, and carbon removal strategies.
The acceleration of the energy transition means gas resource holders increasingly face a choice: follow the established pathway and develop new LNG export facilities or pivot into developing blue ammonia.
The global floating solar market is expected to pass the six-gigawatt (GW) threshold by 2031, as PV developers struggle to meet growing solar demand and look to alternate development technologies.
China’s solar exports grew 64% to US$52 billion in 2022 despite global trade tensions, according to latest analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
Despite policy support and market growth, the biggest economic hurdle to the uptake of the latest nuclear and small modular reactors (SMRs) is cost, according to Wood Mackenzie report.
As companies in the energy and natural resource sector struggle to find the balance between satisfying shareholder returns and meeting stakeholder low-carbon demands, new strategies are emerging that could be the catalyst to drive capital allocation decisions toward growth and closing valuation gaps, according to “Fuelling Change” a new Horizons report from Wood Mackenzie.
The global wind energy market will pass the one terawatt (TW) threshold for installed capacity by the end of 2023, according to the latest market outlook from Wood Mackenzie.
California dwarfs all virtual power plant (VPP) markets in North America, housing 24% of projects in the region, according to Wood Mackenzie’s ‘North America VPP market: H1 2023’ report.
Veritas Capital (“Veritas”), a leading investor at the intersection of technology and government, today announced that an affiliate of Veritas has completed the purchase of Wood Mackenzie from Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK).
Wood Mackenzie report offers five key developments for the energy sector over the next 12 months
Long-duration storage energy (LDES) projects around the world have attracted more than US $58 billion in commitments made by governments and companies since 2019. If all these projects went forward, it would lead to the installation of 57 gigawatts (GW) of LDES – the equivalent of three times the global energy-storage capacity deployed in 2022, according to analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
As one of the most-used petrochemicals in the world, ammonia offers a bevy of decarbonization and energy market opportunities, including the potential to provide 100 million tonnes (Mt) into the power sector by 2050 in a high-case scenario. However, without strong policy support, low-carbon ammonia may remain an untapped market, according to “Avoiding Pand-Ammonia” a new report from Wood Mackenzie.
Global wind power is expected to see an 1.9% increase of installed capacity Quarter on Quarter (QoQ), an equivalent of 25.6 gigawatts (GW), between 2022 and 2031 according to Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK).
Strong activity in China pushed global wind turbine order intake to 43 gigawatts (GW) in quarter two of 2022, a new record, and up 36% from year-ago levels. This equates to an estimated $18.1 billion, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie.
US Inflation Reduction Act bill set to boost CCUS uptake but more is needed to meet net zero goals by 2050
Waste-based biofuels could be a key driver of the energy transition transforming today’s limited supply of low carbon transportation fuels and creating a local, circular economy, according to a new report by Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK).
Global top 10 solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter vendors shored up 82% of market share in 2021, increasing by 2 percentage points compared to 2020, says Wood Mackenzie.
