Global Energy Transition: Investments in Clean Technologies Lead the Way
Key Ideas
- Investments in clean energy technologies are set to surpass oil and gas spending by 2025, with a focus on solar and wind power.
- Battery energy storage systems are growing rapidly to support renewable energy integration and grid efficiency.
- AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing energy management by forecasting energy generation and optimizing grid operations.
- Government policies and changing trade dynamics are accelerating the global shift toward sustainable energy sources like low-carbon hydrogen and CCUS projects.
A forecast by S&P Global Commodity Insights predicts that investments in clean energy technologies will outpace upstream oil and gas spending for the first time in 2025, reaching $670 billion. Solar PV technology is expected to dominate this spending, indicating a shift towards renewable energy. Solar and wind power capacity is set to grow significantly, with 620 GW of new capacity being added globally. Battery energy storage systems are also expanding rapidly to support the integration of renewable sources. AI-based solutions are enhancing energy management by predicting renewable energy generation and improving grid connectivity. Data centers are driving the demand for clean energy, with projections of purchasing 300 TWh of clean power annually by 2030. Ammonia is gaining importance in low-carbon hydrogen production, contributing to cleaner energy transitions. Additionally, the surge in CCUS projects, driven by government policies and changing trade dynamics, is further promoting clean energy production and supply chain resilience.
