Financial terms were not disclosed and the transaction is subject to closing conditions, with no material impact expected on S&P Global’s financial results.

OpenZeppelin will remain a standalone business unit led by CEO Demian Brener, who will report to Yann Le Pallec, President of S&P Global Ratings.
S&P Global (SPGI) released its Multidimensional Global Energy Pathways study finding that rapid energy demand growth in emerging markets and developing economies will constrain more-ambitious climate goals.
The analysis projects EMDE primary energy demand could rise by over 60% by 2060, adding about 155 EJ, while demand in advanced economies and China stays broadly flat. The study concludes that limiting warming to 1.5°C and achieving global net-zero before 2100 are not reachable under plausible trajectories, although a 2°C outcome remains possible only under its most aggressive Emissions Reduction Pathway.
That pathway requires global solar and wind capacity to increase eight-fold by 2060 (eighteen-fold in EMDEs), providing 73% of electricity, plus a 25-fold rise in grid batteries, $50 trillion in power-sector investment, and more than $11 trillion in upstream oil and gas investment even as oil demand falls over 40%.
