As Canada plans new oil pipelines, EVs are changing the market. In China alone, EVs displaced 1mn barrels/day of oil in 2025, with 4mn expected in 2035. 🌎 oil demand is expected to peak by 2030. If built, Canada's West Coast pipeline faces a ⬇️ market. 📗 www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

The Strait of Hormuz crisis presents new warnings for billions in Canadian investments in oil & gas. New analysis finds support for retrofits, grids, & renewables, can improve energy security & affordability, + reduce fossil fuel reliance. Learn more: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

Canada is looking to expand LNG—yet global markets face oversupply + weakening demand outlooks. In Germany, for example, gas demand is already ⬇️ & in 2025 demand was ~13.5% below the 2018-2021 average. Public money for LNG facilities ⬆️ public risk. 📗 www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

Canada's oil & gas sector needs high prices to be viable. To breakeven producers need: ➡️Oil at USD 40/ barrel ➡️LNG at USD 9 to 12/ thousand cubic feet As the outlook for demand ⬇️ & supply ⬆️, public money for oil & gas carries real risk. New analysis: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

In the wake of the Strait of Hormuz crisis Canada is looking to expand its oil & gas sector. New analysis warns the export market may be shrinking as countries look to renewables as a more secure and affordable energy source. Learn more: www.iisd.org/articles/dee...

When energy prices rise gov'ts need to act fast—yet fossil fuel subsidies ⬆️ exposure to future shocks. A better path: 👪 Prioritize support for the vulnerable 💰 Incentivize renewables 🔎 Ensure any fossil fuel support is targeted, transparent, & time-bound New report: www.iisd.org/publications...

Canada is close to fast-tracking a new West Coast pipeline by naming it a project of national interest. Yet the previous purchase of the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) has shown returns on investment are unlikely to be significant and taxpayers could be left footing a multi-billion-dollar bill. 🧵1/5

Quote from Nichole Dusyk reading: "Another pipeline is not in the national interest. It's a subsidy for the oil industry at the expense of ordinary Canadians. Bypassing environmental rules to build it would continue a troubling pattern of trading public protections and dollars for fossil fuel expansion."

Fossil fuel subsidies are hard to shift & with many originating in int'l agreements reform requires 🌎action. Following ⬆️pressure, the Netherlands formed a coalition to take action.

Indonesia holds 42% of the 🌎's nickel reserves. As the demand for EV batteries grows, the country has a huge economic opportunity to drive investment, create jobs, & strengthen its position in the clean energy supply chain—but mineral wealth alone isn't enough. 🧵1/3 www.iisd.org/articles/new...

Last month, Libya concluded its 1st oil & gas licensing round since 2007 with reserves estimated to be the largest in Africa. If fully developed & burned this could release 82.2 MtCO2. Meanwhile, concerns over stranded assets also signal economic risk. 👇 www.iisd.org/publications...

Indonesia’s energy subsidy reform is about more than adjusting fuel prices. As part of Kompas Talks, IISD's Anissa Suharsono emphasizes a comprehensive approach to subsidy reform is vital including better targeting, social protection, & public communication. 👇

Jika Dihitung dengan Insentif Pajak dan DMO Batu Bara, Subsidi Energi RI Tembus Rp 713,5 Triliun

IISD menghitung subsidi energi Indonesia mencapai Rp 713,5 triliun. Angka ini jauh lebih besar karena memakai definisi subsidi versi WTO.

Indonesia has launched the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK). Creating a transparent and reliable record of carbon units, it tracks emissions trading system, offsets, and international transfers, while linking them to Indonesia's national climate registry (SRN-PPI).

When the lights go out, it's easy to focus on the event that caused the outage—but the more important question is what it tells us about the system behind it. Indonesia's recent blackouts are a reminder that for energy systems resilience matters just as much as reliability. 👇

In India, solar irrigation is demonstrating how countries can implement clean energy solutions that benefit communities & farmers. IISD’s Hrishabh Chandra explains, technology is often the easy part—financing & institutional supports are vital for long-term success. 📹 Watch 👇

Canada & Alberta’s industrial carbon price is likely too low to drive major investments in low-carbon tech. Our 🆕 report with @naviusresearch.bsky.social finds an ambitious price could deliver billions in new investment & ⬇️ emissions. 📗 iisd.org/publications...

Canada & Alberta have announced plans for construction of a new oil pipeline estimated to cost between CAD 35.2 & CAD 43.7 bn—taxpayers could be responsible for 90% of the bill. Difficulty finding a private company to lead the project reflects the pipeline’s questionable business case. 🧵1/4

Quote from Nichole Dusyk, Lead, Canada Energy Transition at IISD saying, "With a new taxpayer-paid oil pipeline, policy-makers are once again asking Canadians to pay for a fossil fuel project that most private investors wouldn't touch."

Carbon pricing in Southeast Asia is more than just a climate dialogue—it's also about competitiveness, trade, & investment. In the 1st #CarbonMarketMonitor, IISD's Francesse Joy Cordon-Navarro says gov'ts move at different speeds but the direction is clear. 🆕 Newsletter: mailchi.mp/iisd.org/car...
