Analysis: Wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis - Carbon Brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The UK has avoided the need for gas imports worth £5.9bn since the start of the Hormuz crisis as a result of record generation from wind and solar, reveals Carbon Brief analysis. While gas prices are surging to levels not seen since the 2022 energy crisis, the UK has been generating record amounts of power from wind and solar, up 14% year-on-year. This unprecedented clean-power generation is directly cutting the need for gas-fired electricity, which is down by nearly 10% year-on-year in 2026 to
Analysis: Global fossil-fuel emissions set to fall in 2026 amid Hormuz crisis - Carbon Brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Global fossil-fuel emissions are set to fall by around 0.5% in 2026 amid the fallout from the Hormuz crisis, according to Carbon Brief analysis. The US-Iran war has severely disrupted trade through the strait of Hormuz, causing a spike in oil and gas prices that continues to ripple around the global economy. Each month of disruption – and each new flashpoint, such as in Yemen – is increasing the incentive to switch to alternatives. Those alternatives include coal, with the latest forecasts point
Analysis: Weaker EV targets could cost UK consumers £3bn a year by 2030 - Carbon Brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An upcoming UK government consultation on weakening targets for electric vehicles (EVs) could cost consumers as much as £3bn a year by 2030, according to Carbon Brief analysis.

After years of fierce lobbying by parts of the car industry – and despite the significant savings on offer for EV drivers – media reports su
Interview: COP31 president says electrification is ‘surest way to protect citizens’ - Carbon Brief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, COP31 president-designate Murat Kurum launched a target for 35% of the world’s final energy to come from electricity by 2035. In an interview with Carbon Brief, Kurum says that the target was not a political choice, but instead reflects the latest evidence on “what is needed to keep 1.5C within reach”. The ongoing Hormuz crisis means there is an “urgent” need for renewables and electrification, which are the “surest and cleanest way to protect citizens” from high energy prices. Kurum
