  1. International Energy Agency: Nearly 30% of new cars globally will be electric vehicles by 2026

    The International Energy Agency's 2026 Global Electric Vehicle Outlook report forecasts that electric vehicles will constitute nearly 30% of global new car sales by 2026, with sales projected to reach 23 million units. This surge is attributed to government policies and consumer shifts amidst an energy crisis. The report also noted that electric vehicle sales surpassed 20 million units in 2025, marking a 20% year-over-year increase and representing a quarter of all new car sales. AI

    IMPACT Forecasts accelerated adoption of electric vehicles, potentially impacting charging infrastructure and energy grid demands.

  2. Oil prices sink on signs of U.S.-Iran deal

    Oil prices have decreased significantly following indications of a potential U.S.-Iran deal to end their conflict. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy chokepoint, has been a major factor in recent price hikes and global economic strain. While a de-escalation could ease immediate pressures, experts caution that the full restoration of oil flows and market stability may take months or even years. AI

  3. AI achieves China's first comprehensive survey of solar power generation, research from Peking University and Alibaba DAMO Academy published in Nature

    Researchers from Peking University and Alibaba's Damo Academy have developed an AI system capable of mapping China's vast solar and wind energy infrastructure with unprecedented accuracy. This AI-generated inventory, published in Nature, identifies hundreds of thousands of facilities and provides a crucial tool for optimizing the national power grid. The study highlights how coordinating these renewable sources across larger geographical areas can significantly reduce energy waste and meet the escalating demand from AI data centers. AI

    IMPACT Enables better grid management and renewable energy utilization, crucial for meeting AI's growing power demands.

  4. Malacca Strait could be the next hinge point if Asia isn’t careful

    The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and LNG trade, has demonstrated how disruptions can rapidly escalate into macroeconomic events. Its recent instability led to a significant drop in global oil supply and a substantial increase in oil prices. This situation serves as a stark warning for other strategic maritime passages, such as the Malacca Strait, highlighting their vulnerability and importance to the global economy. AI
