In this episode, we delve into key events currently shaping the global energy landscape. We start with an update on COP 29 in Azerbaijan, highlighting its emphasis on climate finance and the new international carbon credit market. Against this backdrop, we analyse the implications of Donald Trump's re-election on US energy policies and the potential repercussions for global climate commitments.

Additionally, we discuss Sweden's unexpected rejection of offshore wind projects due to national security reasons. We also explore the UK's introduction of the Clean Industry Bonus, designed to enhance sustainable practices within renewable energy supply chains.

The episode concludes with an in-depth look at the recent slowdown in the European heat pump market, investigating the factors behind the decline and the resulting challenges for meeting the EU's decarbonisation goals.
