This week's top stories of the week include:

0:15 This steelmaker is investing in fusion energy – Fusion can generate 100% zero-carbon electricity and could help decarbonize steel manufacturing. Steelmaker Nucor is partnering with fusion start-up Helion to build the plant. The steel industry accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions. Largely due to blast furnace steelmakers which use coal as an essential ingredient in the steelmaking process. Nucor uses electric-arc furnaces instead, a recycling-based circular method.

2:12 The green revolution depends on these 5 materials – Globally, renewable energy capacity needs to triple by 2030, according to the UAE Consensus, agreed at COP28. As clean energy technologies use large quantities of minerals, demand for them is likely to soar. To power the energy transition, the world needs to secure a reliable supply of critical minerals while avoiding the threats of irresponsible practices, geopolitical tensions and price inflations. All while avoiding a delay in the adoption of clean technologies.

4:06 What's the state of global cooperation in 2024? – Global cooperation is showing signs of strength in some arenas such as collective commitments on climate and nature and trade and capital flows. However, it’s falling sharply in the arena of geopolitical peace and security and risks going into sustained decline. leaving the world ill-equipped to cope with challenges.

5:59 These practical actions can save energy – They could save the global economy up to $2 trillion per year. If applied to buildings, industry and transport by 2030. This would also avoid the need for 3,000 new power stations. These measures can be put in place today using existing technologies and without reducing economic output.

0:15 這家鋼鐵製造商正在投資聚變能源——聚變可以產生 100% 零碳電力，並有助於鋼鐵製造脫碳。 鋼鐵製造商紐柯公司正在與聚變新創公司 Helion 合作建造該工廠。 鋼鐵業的二氧化碳排放量佔全球的 7%。 這主要是由於高爐鋼鐵製造商使用煤炭作為煉鋼過程中的重要成分。 紐柯公司改用電弧爐，這是一種基於回收的循環方法。

2:12 綠色革命取決於這 5 種材料 – 根據 COP28 上達成的阿聯酋共識，到 2030 年，全球再生能源容量需要增加兩倍。 由於清潔能源技術使用大量礦物，對其的需求可能會激增。 為了推動能源轉型，世界需要確保關鍵礦產的可靠供應，同時避免不負責任的做法、地緣政治緊張和價格通膨的威脅。 同時避免推遲採用清潔技術。

4:06 2024年全球合作狀況如何？ – 全球合作在一些領域顯示出強勁的跡象，例如氣候和自然以及貿易和資本流動的集體承諾。 然而，它在地緣政治和平與安全領域正在急劇下降，並且有持續下降的風險。 使世界無力應付挑戰。

5:59 這些實際行動可以節省能源——每年可以為全球經濟節省高達 2 兆美元。 如果到 2030 年應用於建築、工業和交通。這也將避免建造 3,000 個新發電廠。 這些措施今天就可以利用現有技術實施，而不會減少經濟產出。
