The electric fast-track for emerging markets
How electrotech can serve the billion people left behind by the fossil system and open up a faster path to prosperity.
The energy security fallout: from fossil fuel fragility to electric independence
The fragility of global fossil fuel supply underscores why scaling renewables and electrification is essential for lasting energy security.
Reframing Energy for the Age of Electricity
We need to count energy from the perspective of the consumer in order to understand the changes sweeping the energy sector. There are four battles in the energy system and electrotech is set to win three of them.
India’s electrotech fast-track: where China built on coal, India is building on sun
Cheap electrotech is enabling India to industrialise without the long fossil detour taken by China and the West.
Ignore the fossil noise, the electrotech revolution is happening
As the IEA publishes its World Energy Outlook 2025, Ember takes a look at what it means for fossil fuel demand in the future.
The electrotech revolution
The annual slidedeck from Kingsmill Bond and the Ember Futures team unpacks how electrotech is rewriting the economics and geopolitics of energy.
China energy transition review
China’s surge in renewables and whole-economy electrification is rapidly reshaping energy choices for the rest of the world, creating the conditions for a decline in global fossil fuel use.
The long march of electrification
A century of growth in electricity has brought us to the Age of Electricity.
The electrification imperative
How a switch from burning fossil fuels to using electricity can unlock the full value of the energy transition
Three facts that show how solar and wind strengthen energy security
With three-quarters of the world in fossil-importing countries, new data from Ember shows that solar and wind have reached the price and scale to significantly displace fossil fuels and boost energy independence.
Energy security in an insecure world
New analysis shows that replacing fossil imports with three key levers—electric vehicles, heat pumps, and renewables—can cut net fossil fuel imports by 70%, saving importers $1.3 trillion globally each year.
