Dec. 03, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — This report highlights key findings from a joint report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) regarding the immense growth of the global green economy. The document states that this sector has already surpassed $5 trillion and is projected to reach over $7 trillion by 2030, growing faster than every major sector except technology. This economic resilience is supported by substantial cost declines in essential technologies, which now make climate solutions addressing 55% of global emissions cost-competitive. The report also underscores that China is cementing its role as the global leader in green technology through overwhelming investment, innovation, and production capabilities. To assist corporate leaders, the report concludes by providing a “CEO Guide” that outlines strategies for successful growth, focusing on factors like technology maturity and close regulatory shaping.

AD NET ZERO MAKES SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS REPORTING MANDATORY FOR SUPPORTERS

June 19, 2023MediaArticles, Climate change in the United Kingdom, Energy, Energy economics, Low-carbon economy, Renewable energy economy, Resource economics, Sustainable architectureadmin

Ad Net Zero supporters, global, and at a national level, are now required to set a public science-based net zero target. This can be done through either the Science Based Targets initiative, a commitment to the UN Race to Zero (including via the SME Climate Hub), The Climate Pledge, or other comparable alternatives. Supporters will also now be required to measure and report their progress annually. Targets will need to be created within 12 months if not already in place and Ad Net Zero will provide guidance to help supporters set, measure and report. An analysis of the industry’s path to net zero, based on the Ad Net Zero’s Global Group publicly reported targets, has been published on adnetzero.com, sharing how many of the industry’s biggest organisations are committing to decarbonisation and by what point.

Green Hydrogen: IDTechEx Asks if It Can Be Cost Competitive

March 18, 2023InnovationArticles, Chemistry, Emerging technologies, Hydrogen, Hydrogen economy, Hydrogen station, Hydrogen technologies, Hydrogen vehicle, Low-carbon economy, Physical sciences, Sustainable technologies, Wateradmin

The clean hydrogen market is poised for growth, driven by decarbonization efforts and concerns around energy security. A number of ambitious targets and roadmaps are being set out by different governments and regions. Clean hydrogen can refer to a number of routes for producing hydrogen, but the primary among them are green and blue hydrogen. Blue hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced from natural gas or coal but with carbon emissions captured. Green hydrogen refers to the splitting of water via electrolyzers powered by renewable power sources. IDTechEx forecasts that the water electrolyzer market will grow to over US$120B by 2033.

The day before new UK chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget plan for economic growth, a pound would buy you about $1.13. After financial markets rejected the plan, the pound suddenly sunk to around $1.07. Though it has since rallied thanks to major intervention from the Bank of England, the currency remains volatile and far below its value earlier this year.

More than half of the digital data firms generate is collected, processed and stored for single-use purposes. Often, it is never re-used. This could be your multiple near-identical images held on Google Photos or iCloud, a business’s outdated spreadsheets that will never be used again, or data from internet of things sensors that have no purpose.
