Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Future Power Technology. 

In this issue, we explore the impacts of geopolitical shifts on the energy sector. We begin with President Donald Trump and populism's global anti-wind movement, examining the threats it poses to the wind industry. 

We review the feasibility of UK-EU ETS linking and its potential to accelerate decarbonisation. With the Ukraine-Russia gas transit deal coming to an end, we delve into its ramifications for Europe. We also investigate the hidden costs of transboundary hydropower projects. 

In our exclusive interview, CPP Investments shares insights on diversification, highlighting the role of oil and gas in the energy transition. Further on hydrocarbons, we highlight efforts to improve carbon capture rates and address the fossil fuel industry’s progress on methane abatement. 

Finally, we outline the key themes to dominate the power landscape in 2025, including supply chain dynamics, electric vehicles, energy storage, nuclear power and hydrogen.
