🇨🇳 NEW | #China #Energy and #Emissions Trends – March 2026 Snapshot | EN & CN

🪨📈 Weaker wind and nuclear output, combined with a low base a year earlier, drove a coal & gas-fired generation rebound in March, leading to a seasonal rise in power sector emissions

🚗📈NEV production returned to growth but remained weak for Q2 overall; exports of new energy passenger vehicles far outpaced conventional fuel vehicles

🇨🇳 CREA's March 2026 China Energy and Emissions Trends is now available in EN & CN👇

🇮🇩 NEW | BRIEFING - Branded as an #EV-driven boom, 83% of #Indonesia’s 2025 #nickel production was absorbed by stainless steel

Only 17% goes into the EV battery supply chain, a major mismatch between ‘green nickel’ marketing & actual market demand

🌐 NEW | Analysis: Global fossil power generation fell in March after Hormuz closure due to solar & wind growth

⚠️ Fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar & wind power, not coal

🇨🇳 NEW | OP-ED: China’s air pollution control enters ‘deep water’ phase

Progress to depend less on conventional reductions, more on structural changes: electrifying heavy industry & transport, clean power generation growth & reduction in coal consumption

🇷🇺 NEW | Monthly analysis of Russian fossil fuel exports & sanctions

In Mar 2026, Russia’s monthly fossil fuel export revenues rose to their highest levels in 2 years, to EUR 713mn/day

Early estimates show a 114% MoM rise in Russia’s Mineral Extraction Tax revenues, ~EUR 7.4bn

🏛️ CREA reiterates the need to practice strong enforcement of the price cap policy & address attestation fraud to adequately crunch Russian revenues

❗ In March 2026 alone, full enforcement of the USD 44.1 per barrel price cap would have reduced revenues by EUR 6.62 bn

🇷🇺 CREA’s March analysis on fossil fuel exports from Russia is now available here in EN & 🇺🇦 UA soon to follow:

🇨🇳 NEW | #China #AirQualityTrends | March 2026 | EN & CN

⚠️💨 Air quality worsened in 15 of China’s provincial capitals in Mar 2026, with 18 failing the tightened annual PM2.5 standard, up from 6 in Feb

Monthly PM2.5 and ozone levels rose YoY in over half of those cities

🇮🇳 NEW | #India #NCAP FY 2025-2026 progress & March #ambientairquality snapshot out now

❗️In FY 2025–26 only a few cities met the NCAP targets after 7 years of implementation

⚠️Ghaziabad recorded the highest annual average PM10 concentration

🇨🇳 NEW | Stronger #greensteel pathways in #China could deliver a 37% emissions cut from peak by 2035

They could also help the sector to recover ~CNY 220Bn in lost profits, shore up debt & maintain market credibility
