The next wave of APAC #decarbonization is here and could boost its economy by nearly $50 trillion by 2070, according to @Deloitte. The focus should be on future fuels, critical minerals, #batteries and greening industry. weforum.org/stories/2026/0…

Critical #minerals are essential to the clean energy transition, but many projects still struggle to secure #investment. The challenge is often not resource availability, but bankability. This @wef's latest report, developed with the Center on Global Energy Policy, explores the targeted policy tools needed to build more resilient supply chains.

"This is the largest #oil supply disruption the world has ever seen.” @JasonBordoff of the @ColumbiaUEnergy podcast says the fallout of the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz blockade could transform the global #energy landscape.
