This fact sheet details the distribution of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants for high-speed rail projects across four US regions: West, Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast, as well as additional planning awards.

The 'Presenter’s Guide for the Idle Reduction and Clean School Bus Curriculum For Drivers and School Officials' is a training manual developed by the Utah Clean Cities Program, National Energy Foundation, and Environmental and Energy Study Institute. It provides a structured 45-minute workshop designed to educate school bus drivers and officials on the health risks of diesel exhaust and the economic and environmental benefits of reducing engine idling.

A letter from Texas Governor Greg Abbott to President Donald Trump expressing opposition to the licensing of consolidated interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste in Texas and New Mexico.

This briefing from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) provides a legislative side-by-side comparison between current law and the House Agriculture Committee's proposed amendments for the Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program within the 2024 Farm Bill.

The document argues that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is misusing its authority by exempting licensees from safety regulations regarding the storage and transport of spent nuclear fuel, specifically through the approval of thin-wall stainless steel canisters.

This brochure describes the mission, vision, and value proposition of WIRES, an international non-profit trade association dedicated to promoting investment in the North American electric transmission system.

This fact sheet by Ember outlines nine clean flexibility tools categorized into store, shift, share, and supply, designed to balance power systems and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The 2026 Global Electricity Review by Ember reports that record solar energy growth in 2025 met the entirety of new global electricity demand, halting the increase in fossil fuel generation for the first time since 2020. For the first time in the modern era, renewable energy sources collectively surpassed coal, accounting for over one-third of global electricity generation.

This executive summary from Ember reports that wind and solar power reached 10.3% of global electricity generation in 2021. While clean energy sources collectively provided 38% of global electricity, the report highlights a concerning record increase in coal power and carbon emissions, driven largely by surging electricity demand in Asia.

Ember provides a submission on the Climate Change Bill 2022 and the Climate Change (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2022, arguing that Australia's emissions targets are implausible without aggressive action on coal mine methane (CMM). The document highlights that CMM dominates Australia's energy sector methane emissions and suggests that official figures may be significantly underestimated.

The provided text is a highly corrupted or encoded document that appears to be a report on the influence of the energy industry on climate policy, despite the metadata title referring to money laundering. The text discusses the role of 'Carbon Fat Cats' (large energy companies) in lobbying against climate regulations and their influence over political processes in the EU and USA.

This methodology guide describes how Ember's China Cleantech Exports Data Explorer utilizes data from the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC), mapping specific HS commodity codes to six clean technology categories.

This report by Sandbag assesses the 2017 Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) deal, which sets emission reduction targets for non-ETS sectors in the EU for 2021-2030. The authors argue that the current -30% target is insufficient for Paris Agreement goals and advocate for project-based cooperation between Member States to achieve reductions cost-effectively and avoid carbon lock-in in lower-income countries.

This fact sheet by Ember provides global electricity insights ahead of COP27, detailing the acceleration of clean energy, regional trends in Europe and Asia, and the role of coal mine methane emissions.

The Ember China Solar Export Data Methodology guide outlines how Ember tracks China's solar photovoltaic exports, utilizing data from the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) and pricing from InfoLink Consulting Group to estimate export capacity in megawatts (MW).

This briefing by Ember analyzes the implications of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) 'Net Zero by 2050' report for the 2021 P4G Seoul Summit, arguing that achieving 100% clean power is a necessary precursor to broader carbon neutrality.

The Ember Subnational Data Methodology guide describes the data collection and calculation processes for electricity generation, capacity, and emissions across subnational regions in India and the United States.

This infographic by Ember outlines the complex framework of power system planning in the European Union, detailing the processes, actors, and timelines involved in ensuring system reliability, adequacy, and flexibility.

This report outlines the methodology used by Ember to estimate the annual subsidies required to deploy Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) at the Drax biomass power station. It details the calculation of Reference and Strike Prices for a dual-Contract for Difference (CfD) covering both electricity (CfDe) and carbon (CfDc), while noting the high degree of uncertainty due to a lack of commercial-scale power-BECCS projects.

This guide details the data methodology used by Ember to produce datasets on global electricity generation, net imports, demand, installed power capacity, and emissions from 2000 to 2021.
