Global Energy Monitor

Global Energy Monitor (GEM) is a non-governmental organization that monitors and analyzes global energy infrastructure and projects. They are currently newsworthy due to their recent reports highlighting significant trends in energy development. One such report revealed that India is driving a worldwide surge in proposed new coal mining projects, enough to increase global supplies substantially, even as overall demand for coal plateaus. This comes at a time when GEM's analysis also points to the US rapidly building more gas-fired power capacity than China, largely to meet the energy demands of the artificial intelligence boom. These findings underscore GEM's relevance in tracking the complex and often contradictory shifts in global energy production and consumption, particularly concerning fossil fuels and their environmental implications.
