🇨🇳 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:
