Last year was 8 (hot) on record, highlighting the significance of green technology in 2025.

CCS projects are now storing about 45 million tons of CO₂ yearly, roughly equal to the emissions of 10 million cars. The growth of clean energy continues, with wind and solar power expected to overtake coal in electricity generation.
