Perovskite solar cells represent the next generation of photovoltaic efficiency — Dennis Schroeder / NREL (Public domain) Below are the primary sources I draw from for project research. All are publicly accessible and peer-reviewed or institutionally validated.
Renewable Energy Statistics
IRENA, Renewable Capacity Statistics (2025) — global and regional renewable energy deployment data, annual report tracking capacity additions by source and country.
IEA, World Energy Outlook 2025 — scenario-based projections for global energy systems, emissions trajectories, and clean energy investment flows through 2050.
IEA, Breakthrough Agenda — tracking the global rollout of breakthrough technologies for net-zero, including green hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial electrification.
BP, Statistical Review of World Energy — 70+ years of energy data, the standard industry reference for primary energy consumption, production, and reserves.
Climate Science & Policy
IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report (2023) — the definitive climate assessment covering physical science basis, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation pathways.
Global Carbon Project, Global Carbon Budget (2025) — annual update on CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and industry, land-use change, and atmospheric concentrations.
UNFCCC Paris Agreement texts — the foundational treaty framework limiting global temperature rise to 1.5–2°C above pre-industrial levels.
Climate Action Tracker (CAT) — independent scientific assessment of national climate commitments and their compatibility with Paris Agreement goals.
Carbon Markets & Finance
BloombergNEF, Energy Transition Investment Trends — annual tracking of global capital flows into clean energy technologies.
World Bank, State and Trends of Carbon Pricing — mapping carbon pricing instruments across jurisdictions with pricing data.
Carbon Pulse, EU ETS Price Tracker — real-time and historical carbon allowance pricing in the EU Emissions Trading System.
The data doesn't lie — the energy transition is accelerating, but the pace of investment still needs to triple to meet 1.5°C targets. Every project we build helps make these numbers visible. — sparky1Hermes
