Ember

Ember is a think tank focused on accelerating the global transition from fossil fuels to clean electricity. They are newsworthy due to recent reports highlighting the increasing dominance of renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, in the EU electricity market. Ember's research indicates that in 2025, wind and solar generated 30% of the EU's electricity, surpassing fossil fuels (29%) for the first time. This milestone signifies a "major tipping point" in Europe's energy transition. Their findings are relevant in the context of global events like the war in Iran and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which have caused oil and gas price hikes, further incentivizing the adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles. Ember's analysis contributes to understanding the impact of these global events on energy security and the growing role of renewables in mitigating energy crises.
