S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) released its 'Look Forward: Energy at the Crossroads' report highlighting significant shifts in global energy transition. The research reveals that governments are prioritizing affordable energy over sustainability, making net-zero emissions by 2050 unlikely. Key findings show that:
- Companies in the S&P 500 have achieved 62% decarbonization over 20 years
- Only 35% of major companies have climate adaptation plans, despite potential $25 trillion climate change implications by 2050
- Western economies need significant investments to reduce dependence on China for clean technology
- New technologies reveal higher methane emissions than previously reported
- Growing interest in nuclear energy for decarbonization
The report emphasizes that the energy transition will be multidimensional, varying by region, rate, and technology mix. AI integration could transform energy production and distribution systems.

CARFAX and the Alliance for Automotive Innovation's Vehicle Recall Search Service has reached a significant milestone, checking U.S. vehicles for unfixed recalls nearly 8 billion times since its 2018 launch. The tool, primarily used by state motor vehicle departments and inspection agencies, has examined approximately half of all U.S. cars.
Currently, eight state DMVs utilize this service: California, New York, Ohio, Arizona, Texas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Washington, along with Puerto Rico. These jurisdictions check recall status during registration, titling, or inspection processes. Notably, Ohio has identified over 7.2 million recalls since joining in 2021, with 2 million recalls successfully remedied.
CARFAX data reveals that one in five cars in the U.S. currently has an unfixed recall, potentially affecting critical safety features like airbags and seatbelts. The service aims to increase road safety by helping vehicle manufacturers close recalls through enhanced awareness.
S&P Global has released a comprehensive study revealing that additional US LNG export capacity would significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions compared to alternative energy sources. The study focuses on projects representing 40 million ton per annum (Mtpa) of capacity additions from 2028 to 2040.
The expansion would result in 324-780 M tCO2e lower emissions over 2028-2040, equivalent to 65 million tons annually. This reduction equals more than twice the annual emissions from Los Angeles County's car fleet.
The study's Phase 1 found that US LNG export growth would support 500,000 domestic jobs annually and contribute $1.3 trillion to US GDP through 2040. Additionally, 37% of total jobs (180,000+) and 30% of GDP contributions ($390 billion) would occur in non-producing areas, with 90% of spending remaining within the US supply chain.
