Ethiopia is the First Country in the World to Ban the Import of Fossil Fuel Vehicles
Although many countries have announced a ban on the import and production of conventional vehicles as targets for 2030 or 2050, Ethiopia is the first country in the world to actually ban the import of fossil fuel-powered cars and switch…
After Slight Rise In 2023, Methane Emissions From Fossil Fuels Are Set To Go Into Decline Soon
Methane emissions from the energy sector remained near a record high in 2023 – but substantial policies and regulations announced in recent months, as well as fresh pledges stemming from the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, have the potential to…
SolarEdge – Solution for the safety of PV systems at fuel deposit
Renewable energy sources are developing daily. With the increasing use of solar energy, the responsibility for securing these systems also increases, considering that most activities take place under high voltage, which is why you need to be especially alert when…
CARS ARE ON AVERAGE GETTING LARGER, USING MORE FUEL AND OCCUPIING LARGER AREA

What is fuelling the world’s antimicrobial resistance crisis?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global health threats. It was associated with an estimated five million deaths in 2019, and if left unchecked, it could have a catastrophic impact on people and the economy. Research from the United…
Governments plan to produce double the fossil fuels in 2030 than the 1.5°C warming limit allows
A major new report published today finds that governments plan to produce around 110 percent more fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C, and 69 percent more than would be consistent with 2°C. This comes…
Urgent action to cut methane emissions from fossil fuel operations essential to achieve global climate targets
Decisive, far-reaching efforts to cut methane emissions from fossil fuel production and use must go hand-in-hand with decarbonisation of our energy systems to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA)…
