Transportation remains the state’s largest source of greenhouse gases, contributing nearly 30 percent of emissions. It’s not clear whether Minnesota is on track to meet its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2025,

Sasol is falling back on coal after encountering obstacles in its plan to pivot to natural gas and green hydrogen in its path to net zero by 2050.

China’s fossil fuel power plants increased generation to a record last year, as the boom in clean energy failed to keep pace with surging electricity consumption in the world’s second-biggest economy.

Developed countries have a tighter deadline for achieving net-zero emissions that developing countries – which requires even faster growth of renewable energy – and all countries are behind schedule.

Sasol CEO Simon Baloyi is seeking a new path for South Africa’s second-largest polluter to reach its emissions target after doubling down on coal to run its fuel and chemicals production. The Johannesburg-based company plans to boost the use of renewable energy to counter the growing dependence on coal,
