Global Clean Energy Investment Drops by 17% in First Half of 2026
According to a report from Rhodium, global investment in clean energy and related technologies fell by 17% during the first half of 2026. The decline was particularly steep in Q1, with only partial recovery observed in Q2. The research firm analyzed spending trends across key sectors including solar energy, electric vehicles (EVs), sustainable aviation fuel, and manufacturing. The sharp drop raises concerns about the momentum behind clean tech adoption amid global economic conditions or policy shifts that may have dampened investor confidence during this period.
