    The recent massive power outage in Spain and Portugal has led to discussions around renewables and grid inertia, so it's probably worth a deeper understanding

    ...

    The outage raised critical questions about the resilience of modern electricity grids with high levels of renewable energy penetration. Specifically, the event prompted the crucial debate: could the high percentage of renewables like solar PV and wind have contributed to grid instability during the incident?

    And if so, how are other countries with significant wind and solar power in their electricity mix (such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany) managing these challenges seemingly without experiencing similar widespread system collapses?

    The chemical industry, which accounts for up to 6% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is a key player in the transition to a net-zero economy. However, it faces sector-specific challenges such as long asset lives, high process emissions, and complex global supply chains.

    This report benchmarks the climate transition performance of eight of the world’s top chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Dow, Incitec Pivot, Air Liquide, LyondellBasell, SABIC, and Toray Industries.

     

    It evaluates them across emissions performance, value chain engagement, governance and remuneration, capital allocation, and policy advocacy. The goal is to provide financial institutions with a clear picture of these companies’ transition readiness and their potential climate-related risks and opportunities.

    Mirova, DNCA, Ossiam: Is defence defensible in ESG investing?

    Caught between the threat of Russian expansionism in the East and a possible withdrawal of the American security umbrella by Donald Trump across the Atlantic, Europe has launched an €800 billion finance plan to rearm the continent.

    Yet this military emancipation cannot be achieved without recourse to private investment, particularly considering the context of strained public accounts across many European countries.....

    Key takeaways

    • "Climate transition involves challenges in managing the social impacts of tackling climate change. But as well as challenges, there are opportunities for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
    • A focus on a “just transition” may be the key to unlock lagging actions on climate adaptation.
    • To achieve a just transition, the consideration of social factors should permeate all aspects of climate strategies. At AllianzGI, we put the theme at the centre of our in-house research and stewardship toolkit.
    • “Just transition” is an increasingly important topic for investors due to inclusion in climate planning and incoming regulation."

    S&P Global Ratings: Decarbonizing Oil And Gas Production Faces Long-Term Hurdles After Short-Term Gains

    Key Findings

    • We believe oil and gas companies can achieve their interim 2030 emissions reduction targets. A significant reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions should be possible with existing technologies, while potentially also lowering production costs or adding to revenue.
    • Emissions regulations for the industry vary across jurisdictions, and it's unclear how they might evolve. We believe the achievement of longer-term emission goals will require further technological advancement, engagement across industry and government participants, and stable and supportive policies.
    • In our view, cutting emissions now will put oil and gas producers' credit profiles in a better position should carbon regulations tighten further. The sector's improved balance sheet strength over recent years should help it absorb the near-term costs of decarbonization.
    • Nevertheless, oil and gas will be part of the energy system for decades to come; and though certain regulations have eased recently, we anticipate that pressure to decarbonize over the long term will remain, posing additional challenges for the sector.
