No fossil fuel phase-out yet despite rapid renewables growth: CCPI report
The CCPI report, released during COP29 in Baku, highlights the rapid growth of renewable energy across high-emitting countries but warns of continued reliance on fossil fuels, particularly gas. The report, authored by Germanwatch, NewClimate Institute, and CAN International, assesses emissions, renewables, and climate policy progress among major emitters. Despite increased renewable energy adoption, many countries' emissions remain misaligned with the Paris Agreement goals. The report urges closing the ambition gap in Nationally Determined Contributions to maintain the 1.5°C target. Experts emphasize the need for a swift emissions decline to avert severe climate change impacts.

Live updates: Follow the latest news on Cop28
The article discusses the upcoming Cop28 climate summit in Dubai, emphasizing India's role and opportunities in transitioning to renewable energy. Industry experts highlight India's efforts to triple its renewable energy capacity by 2030 and the challenges it faces due to its reliance on coal. The summit is crucial as it includes the first global stocktake of climate targets, with current efforts falling short of limiting global temperature rise. India's energy demand, resistance to phasing out coal, and the need for investment in renewables are discussed. The article also touches on the importance of climate finance and the negotiations around it, with developed countries not meeting their pledge to provide $100 billion per year to assist poorer countries. India's strategies at Cop28, including pushing for carbon negativity and integrating biofuels into its energy strategy, are also mentioned, along with the perspectives of various Indian industry leaders and activists.

Activists fear emphasis on gas exploration would undermine climate goals
Fossil fuels are the largest contributors to global climate change, yet oil and gas companies are heavily investing in new gas and oil exploration, undermining climate goals. The Global Oil and Gas Exit List (GOGEL) reveals significant capital spending on new reserves, with top companies like China National Petroleum Corporation, Aramco, and Shell leading the investments. Environmentalists express concerns over the potential conflict of interest with Sultan Ahmed Jaber, the upcoming COP28 president and CEO of ADNOC. The International Energy Agency's roadmap to net zero by 2050 is being overshadowed by these expansions, risking a catastrophic temperature rise. The article highlights the urgent need for a managed decline in fossil fuel production to meet the Paris Agreement targets.

What is COP28?
The article discusses the upcoming COP28, the 28th Conference of Parties, which is a global summit on climate change. This year's conference is controversial due to its location in Dubai, UAE, a country whose wealth is largely based on fossil fuels. The summit will be convened by Sultan Al Jaber, an oil industry executive, which has raised concerns about the influence of the fossil fuel lobby on climate talks. The article also reflects on the successes and failures of previous COPs, including the Paris Agreement and the establishment of a 'loss and damage fund' at COP27. The upcoming COP28 will focus on assessing whether nations are on track to keep global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius and may endorse a fossil fuel phase-out. The article cites comments from UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Dr. Fatih Birol of the International Energy Agency on the urgency of addressing climate change.

Costs versus profits in the energy transition debate
The article discusses the cost dynamics and profitability challenges in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It highlights the significant cost advantages of renewable energy, particularly solar power, in the Gulf region, where costs have dramatically decreased. Despite these advantages, fossil fuels remain prevalent due to their profitability and the structural differences in cost between renewables and fossil fuels. The article also addresses the challenges of renewable energy, such as upfront costs and variability, and suggests that advancements in battery technology and changes in electricity market structures could mitigate these issues. The role of public sector involvement in future renewable energy projects is also considered.

COP28 Outcome: Mixed Feelings of Hope and Frustration
COP28 resulted in the operationalisation of a loss and damage fund, with USD 792 million pledged, though concerns remain over its voluntary nature and management by the World Bank. The summit secured over USD 85 billion in new financial commitments, including significant pledges for adaptation and nature-based climate action. Despite these commitments, the Global Stocktake did not provide sufficient reassurance on climate finance for developing nations. The conference marked a significant shift towards phasing out fossil fuels, with countries agreeing to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems and phasing out subsidies. However, the voluntary nature of the Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter and the lack of concrete targets and timelines were criticized. The outcome signals a move towards renewable energy but highlights the challenges and loopholes in achieving a fossil-free future.

When oil and gas infrastructure becomes obsolete
The transition from fossil fuels is rendering oil and gas infrastructure obsolete, posing significant financial risks as stranded assets. Researchers estimate potential global losses of up to $1 trillion, with the UK particularly vulnerable. The National Infrastructure Commission advocates for early planning to repurpose gas networks for hydrogen and carbon dioxide transport. European Central Bank's proactive stress-testing of banks on fossil assets is praised, while political figures like Bas Eickhout push for predictable climate policies to mitigate financial chaos. The upcoming European Parliament elections and the UK's erratic climate policies add uncertainty to the future of fossil fuel infrastructure.

The controversy around COP29's host country
Azerbaijan's selection as the host for COP29 has sparked controversy due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and its human rights record. The appointment of Makhtar Babayev, with ties to the state oil company Socar, as COP29 president has raised concerns about the country's commitment to climate action. Despite adding women to the committee, Azerbaijan's gender gap remains significant. Critics argue that hosting COP29 sends the wrong message, given Azerbaijan's fossil fuel dependency and human rights issues. The conference will focus on climate finance for the Global South, presenting an opportunity for discussions on a just green transition.

‘Does not affect ability to sell’ - Saudi Energy Minister on Cop28 Deal
Saudi Arabia's energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, stated that the Cop28 agreement would not impact the kingdom's ability to export oil and gas. The agreement, which calls for a transition away from fossil fuels, faced resistance from major oil producers but was eventually adopted with language that avoided a direct call for a phase-out. Oil and gas companies, including TotalEnergies and Crescent Petroleum, have expressed support for the agreement, seeing it as aligning with their transition strategies. TotalEnergies emphasized the role of gas as a transition fuel and the importance of energy efficiency. Crescent Petroleum highlighted natural gas as a means to reduce emissions. ENI stressed the balance between emission targets and energy security. Arab oil producers, however, believe oil and gas will remain energy pillars for decades, and experts like Iman Nasseri and Omar al-Ubaydli suggest that the actual impact of the agreement may be limited.
