AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWildfire Pressure in Western Europe: A forest blaze in the Dutch province of Limburg near the German border spread overnight to about 100 hectares and was still not contained early Tuesday, with changing winds, drought conditions, helicopters and around 300 responders involved; a nearby campsite was evacuated and trains were suspended. Heat and Water Stress: The fire adds to a wider pattern of drought-linked extremes across Europe, where record-low river levels and vegetation dryness are raising wildfire risk. Renewables Deal Watch (Germany-relevant): TotalEnergies agreed to buy Shell’s European onshore renewables portfolio (about 500 MW in operation/under construction plus a 3.5 GW pipeline across Italy, the UK and Spain) and also sold a 50% stake in a separate 1.2 GW portfolio to KKR (assets include Germany, Spain, France and Poland), with completion expected by end-2026 pending approvals. Forever-Chemicals Research (Germany): A Dresden-based study suggests a blood-filtering cholesterol treatment (apheresis) may also remove “forever chemicals” and microplastics from the body, pointing to a potential new route for PFAS reduction.
