(523) Quantifying ESG: Should we care about grid inertia?
Quantifying ESG: Should we care about grid inertia?
The recent massive power outage in Spain and Portugal has led to discussions around renewables and grid inertia, so it's probably worth a deeper understanding
...
The outage raised critical questions about the resilience of modern electricity grids with high levels of renewable energy penetration. Specifically, the event prompted the crucial debate: could the high percentage of renewables like solar PV and wind have contributed to grid instability during the incident?
And if so, how are other countries with significant wind and solar power in their electricity mix (such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany) managing these challenges seemingly without experiencing similar widespread system collapses?

Clean energy technologies to reduce emissions, confront climate change
As we move into 2025, the clean energy sector is witnessing transformative trends that are reshaping the landscape of energy production and consumption.
The global commitment to emissions reduction has spurred unprecedented growth in clean energy investments, leading to a surge in innovative technologies that promise to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and improve energy reliability.
Additionally, geopolitical tensions, particularly concerning China's dominance in the clean technology supply chain, are influencing global energy strategies and investment decisions.

ABN Amro: ESG Economist - Are US tariffs a catalyst for EU energy transition?
"The world we are living in is changing at a fast pace where a decades-long pro-globalisation stance is being challenged by the vulnerability of supply chains during the COVID pandemic and the energy crisis after that. Furthermore, faced with domestic challenges and the rise of nationalism, the prioritization of domestic agendas has come to the fore in many countries. The most recent development in this regard is the (proposed) new tariffs imposed on imports from several trading partners by the new US administration, along with a rolling back of climate policies.
This opens the door to multiple scenarios of retaliation and the rise of trade wars between the US and its trading partners (see our most recent macro notes on the subject and. These trade conflicts could affect trade flows, growth rates, and transition pathways all over the world. In this note, we revisit the concepts of free trade and the role of its international governing body, the WTO.
We also outline the main channels by which a US invoked trade war affects the transition process in the EU highlighting the main impacts on cost structures and supply chains. We end with a conclusion. This note is the first part of a series analysing the impacts of trade war on the energy transition."

Allianz GI: From just a transition to a just transition?
(https://www.allianzgi.com/en/insights/outlook-and-commentary/just-transition)
Key takeaways
- "Climate transition involves challenges in managing the social impacts of tackling climate change. But as well as challenges, there are opportunities for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
- A focus on a “just transition” may be the key to unlock lagging actions on climate adaptation.
- To achieve a just transition, the consideration of social factors should permeate all aspects of climate strategies. At AllianzGI, we put the theme at the centre of our in-house research and stewardship toolkit.
- “Just transition” is an increasingly important topic for investors due to inclusion in climate planning and incoming regulation."

The chemical industry, which accounts for up to 6% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is a key player in the transition to a net-zero economy. However, it faces sector-specific challenges such as long asset lives, high process emissions, and complex global supply chains.
This report benchmarks the climate transition performance of eight of the world’s top chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Dow, Incitec Pivot, Air Liquide, LyondellBasell, SABIC, and Toray Industries.
It evaluates them across emissions performance, value chain engagement, governance and remuneration, capital allocation, and policy advocacy. The goal is to provide financial institutions with a clear picture of these companies’ transition readiness and their potential climate-related risks and opportunities.

First Sentier MUFG-SI: Climate Risk & Adaptation in Global Food
1. The purpose of this report is to highlight the major climate change and extreme weather impacts on global food supply chains through to 2050 and propose actions which businesses and investors can take to support food security, food system resilience, and commercial returns.
2. The world is on track for 2.5 degrees global warming by 2050 at the rate of current policies and climate action, with an expected deficit of 15-20 GT CO2e according to Baringa’s modelling. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed positive correlations between increased emissions and increased occurrence of extreme weather hazards. This means that both direct and indirect investors across globally integrated supply chains like food will continue to face exponentially increasing climate risks and extreme weather hazards over the next several decades....
