How have past industry trends, such as the slowdown in gas plant construction after the early 2000s boom, contributed to the current challenges?

The shift away from cheap natural gas is driven by two factors: construction bottlenecks (resulting in 5-7 year delays for new gas turbines) and a workforce shortage stemming from past industry slowdowns. These challenges, coupled with increased global demand for LNG exports, make building new gas plants significantly more expensive and less attractive compared to renewable energy sources.

What were the key factors contributing to renewable energy sources exceeding coal in electricity generation in Poland during June 2025?

In June 2025, Poland's renewable energy sources generated 44.1% of its electricity, exceeding coal's 43.7% for the first time, according to Energy Forum. This surge is largely due to a 24% increase in photovoltaic capacity to 23 GW, compared to only 2 GW five years prior. However, fossil fuels still dominate, with natural gas making up the remaining majority.

What are the immediate environmental consequences of Seabound's lime-pellet based carbon capture process for the shipping industry, considering the full lifecycle emissions?

Seabound's carbon-capture process for shipping, using lime pellets, may inadvertently increase CO2 emissions if the pellets' production and reuse release more CO2 than captured. The process could be improved by using alternative methods, such as calcium silicate-based cement production, which sequesters CO2.
