Country / jurisdiction: Germany · Year: 2005 · Status: In force · Level: National · Type: Voluntary

The original National Climate Protection Programme, established in 2000, was updated in 2005 to ensure that Germany would be able to comply with its European and international level commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from 2008 to 2012 by 21% as against 1990 levels and thus provide a basis for further environmental policies after 2012. The update to the 2000 programme took stock of the federal governments climate protection policies in the intervening 5 years. It outlined the measures taken and their reduction effect with respect to greenhouse gas emissions and assessed whether the targets in different sectors had been met. Based on this analysis the need for new measures was identified and a set of concrete measures was produced. As the energy and industry sectors were by then covered by an emissions trading instrument, the Climate Protection Programme 2005 focused on action in the transport and private household sectors.

Oil Prices Slide 2% as Markets Brace for Bessent’s ‘Economic D-Day’

Oil prices fell by more than 2% in early Asian trade on Monday as traders took profits and markets awaited details of a new U.S. sanctions package against Iran. At the time of writing, WTI futures were trading at $85.18 per barrel, down 2.16%, while Brent futures were trading at $92.32 per barrel, down 2.19%. Both benchmarks gained more than 5% last week as the U.S. and Iran continued to trade threats, Iranian crude exports dropped, and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed to a trickle. Today’s pullback appears to be driven…

Diesel Crisis Threatens to Outlast the Middle East War

The outlook for the Middle East war remains grim, the U.S. just threatened Iran with the “toughest sanctions in history,” and the world is running out of stored fuels. To make matters worse, refining capacity is down considerably, and even if the outlook for the war suddenly changed and the U.S. and Iran made peace, the fuel squeeze will last for months—and so will its adverse effects on the global economy. Watching crude oil prices, one would think everything is under control. Both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate are…

Pemex and Petrobras Bet Big on High-Risk High-Reward Drilling Off Mexico

Mexico’s state oil firm Pemex and Brazil’s national oil company Petrobras are joining efforts and expertise to drill prospects in Mexican waters in the Gulf of Mexico, hoping to unlock huge oil resources from source rock formations that are miles deeper and eight times older than the currently producing formations in the U.S. Gulf. Exploration in the Jurassic formations deep under the Mexican Gulf seabed in the Campeche Bay carries high risks, but the reward in case of a discovery could be enormous, geologists and analysts tell Bloomberg.…

Super El Niño Threatens Food, Water and Trade Worldwide

The world is set to experience an extremely intense El Niño weather event this year, with warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. This could disrupt typical weather patterns and lead to heavy rainfall in some regions and severe drought in others. While it is unclear whether the more frequent occurrence of El Niño is directly linked to human-caused climate change, it is certainly exacerbating extreme weather patterns in some parts of the world. El Niño occurs every few years, but this year…

Private Equity Is Circling Utilities as AI Reshapes the Grid

While it seems that Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on much of anything these days, there’s at least one common enemy that’s bringing both sides of the aisle together: data centers. Representatives on both sides of the aisle are increasingly pushing back against hyperscalers who are developing massive data center campuses on local energy grids, driving up energy demand and therefore causing electricity prices to skyrocket for everyone, whether they benefit from the artificial intelligence boom or not. The Trump administration…
