EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Q1 2025 were estimated at 900mn tCO2e, up 3.4% y/y, driven mainly by emissions growth from power generation and households — whilst GDP grew 1.2% to Eurostat.
Only four EU countries cut emissions whilst their GDP grew: Denmark, Finland, Malta, and Sweden.

Another bit of good news to break up the bad news cycle:

renews.biz/101892/res-t... RES to operate 500MW Coalburn battery - reNews - Renewable Energy News
Excellent piece from @ember-energy.org
“Emitting 13.3 million tonnes of CO2e last year, Drax power plant is the largest single source of carbon dioxide in the UK, emitting more than the next four largest emitters combined.”

This is reckless. The EU should push back against this manner of interference.

US Urges Eastern Europe to Split From EU Energy Transition Aims www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
“I do not think Chinese LNG importers will ever contract any new US LNG.”

BBG reports that China and Russia are discussing “the possibility of joint LNG projects.”
Whatever materialises from this, the overarching theme is rather painfully clear: nations are apparently keen on exploring alliances and trade pacts that — surprise! — ostensibly exclude the US.

German gas demand waning?
Whilst industrial demand +1.9% WoW, demand from households and SME (SMB in North American English) -13.5% WoW.
Zooming out, 2020-21 (pandemic) & 2022 (energy crisis) aberrations do skew the data; but German gas demand is presently ~22% below the 2018-21 avg.
