Renewable energy discourses of fossil fuel companies: Obstruction and delay of climate action

This research analyses annual reports from Shell, BP, TotalEnergies, and ExxonMobil between 2016 and 2022. It identifies how companies use mixed-sentiment messaging and doublespeak to link renewable energy with fossil fuels. These discursive strategies obstruct climate action and delay the necessary phase-out of fossil fuels.

Rethinking Germany’s hydrogen-led transition: Demand shortfalls, infrastructure risk and the public cost of overbuilding

Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)
This IEEFA report warns that Germany's overoptimistic hydrogen demand projections risk creating a €45 billion fiscal liability. Building oversized infrastructure ahead of demand shifts costs to taxpayers via the amortisation account. It recommends prioritising liquid derivative imports and gating pipeline expansion to verified industrial demand to protect long-term competitiveness.

EU’s deforestation footprint highlights need for EUDR

Trase’s assessment reveals the European Union was exposed to 112,500 hectares of annual deforestation between 2021 and 2023. While palm oil exposure fell 91% since 2014, cocoa and cattle remain significant risks. Effective EUDR implementation is vital to sustain progress, particularly as re-export modelling identifies Germany as highly exposed.

Homework in climate economics: Household production, environmental preferences, and climate policy

National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
This research analyses household energy use and climate policy, identifying residential solar as a cornerstone for cost-effective abatement. It finds that environmental preferences significantly lower baseline emissions, while income-targeted subsidies provide minimal fiscal savings. The study emphasises the vital complementarity between solar and electricity-intensive equipment like electric vehicles.
